Duke Nukem Forever: DLC Add-on (2) Guide

AntMag.NET

This section details the Ego Boosts available in the DLC Add-on for Duke Nukem Forever. The names for these boosts are unofficial. The guide also outlines various challenge settings that increase difficulty beyond the standard 'Damn I'm Good' setting.

Ego Boost Level Clarification:

Ego Boost Level A: Allows carrying over Ego Boosts from previous playthroughs and acquiring missed ones. Makes early levels easier.
Ego Boost Level B: Resets the Ego bar at the start of a playthrough but allows keeping all earned Ego Boosts. Difficult from the start, relying on thrown objects and executions.
Ego Boost Level C: Resets the Ego bar and only allows earning mandatory Ego Boosts (boss fights, microwave, signing book). Difficult and increasingly so, requiring focus on one opponent at a time.
Ego Boost Level D: Resets the Ego bar every time a level is played through, requiring a game restart after each Ego Boost. This is the most difficult setting. In the DLC add-on, this is required a minimum of two times (after "Me, Myself and I" and "The Doctor is In"). Do not reset until all parts of a mission are completed.

Weapon Slots Explanation:

Normal: Any weapon can be used.
Explosive weapon required in weapon slot: An explosive weapon (RPG, Devastator, Enforcer Gun) must be carried at all times from Vegas In Ruins onwards.
Golden Pistol: The Golden Pistol from the first level must be carried throughout the game without swapping. This applies less to the DLC add-on due to temporary lack of pistol access.
