You can now swim around in water, slime, and lava. After about 10 seconds you start to choke. It is not recommended that you go swimming in slime or lava without the necessary protection.

The method Quake uses for swimming is more realistic than Duke Nukem 3D's, where swimming is implemented as walking underwater and uses the up and down keys rather than aiming and pressing forward.

Tips

Avoid swimming in slime or lava without protection.
Be aware of the 10-second choking limit when submerged.
Quake's swimming mechanic involves aiming and moving forward, unlike Duke Nukem 3D's underwater walking.
