It feels so weird watching doom gameplay with that music

I didn't use that mod ever in first playthrough. Now I'm doing second one learning mods I missed first time. This one quickly becomes one of my favourite.

You are wrong, sir. Everyone and their mother know that the flaming meethook is indeed the coolest mod :)

Before the comment section is flooded with "Lock On is better" posts, yes, I agree that Lock On is more powerful. But Remote Detonation compliments a wild-man playstyle very well and I find it way more fun. Don't worry so much about what's better! Worry about what flows with your playstyle! And think outside of the box! Maybe there's new ways for you to enjoy this game that you haven't thought of. That's one of my main purposes of this channel. To ENJOY Doom more, not just be better at it. (check out my playthrough of Cultist Base Master Level to see this mod do WORK.) Thanks everyone!

I never thought I'd say it, but Doom 2016 looks so very slow after playing Eternal.

Short, sweet and simple. I like it also congratulations on hitting 13k

While Remote Det in 2016 was better in every way, they really specialised the rocket mods in Eternal. Lock-on for big bastards, and Remote-det for crowd-clearing.

Let’s be real here, the rocket launcher in doom eternal looks way more sick than the one in doom 2016, in my opinion, all weapons look cooler in doom eternal

Comparing to Doom Eternal, Doom 2016 feels like a running and shooting simulator.

I gotta say, out of all the weapons, rocket launcher is the one I do mod swapping on the most. I think both mods have a lot of utility. Lock-on does massive damage, but is slower and consumes ammo like crazy, whereas remote detonation makes your normal fire a lot more versatile. No other weapon has mods that I switch between as much as these two, it's pretty fun.

Quick note about Doom 2016's remote det: You didn't need to manually detonate the external payload just before making a direct hit. If you just let it go and you directly hit your enemy you get the damage of both the external payload and the main rocket (plus the damage done by shrapnel over time still works too). So basically mastered remote det essentially becomes a super-powered regular rocket launcher if you are good at scoring direct hits.

The Cultist Base playthrough of yours was an absolute beast, demonstration the remote detonation. Kudos dude, and keep the videos coming!

I love how you can create your own play style with different mods in doom eternal, you really have way more freedom than you did with 2016.

i like your consistent upload times! i love this channel, im going to try to give it more attention if i can. Really thought out, genuine content

I love how every review I have seen on Doom Eternal makes a point of saying that remote detonation "is complete garbage" or is "completely useless" but they sorta just let it shine through that they don't understand the game properly lmao

Never quite seen a use for it, ahahaha, I just prefer the lock on to get rid of the larger enemy types

Great video; you go really in depth with the weapons of Doom.

that chill backgroung track was definetely weird with doom gameplay 😂

I've enjoyed your content thoroughly so I will use this on my next run.

The remote det is good for certain parts but I normally use the lock on burst

Very good vid, that rocket strat was my crutch and me gusta back in 2016

You sir have given me a reason to get back into doom 2016..just to use that remote detonation mod..u never mastered it or used it too much but after watching this, guess m gonna use it. Thanks buddy.

So glad you made this vid. I've been avoiding remote detonate because almost every upgrade I took first because it was good in 2016 was not as good as the other upgrade is in Eternal lol.

This reminds me of EDF 5 where even if you figured out a damn nice combo and a damn op gun that wipes out half the city you're on, its still difficult and you can still die at the hands of your enemies if you're careful. Essentially, the sense of threat is still there, and what's nice is that even distantly the weapon mods allow more combos to support multi weapon use combos.

Love love LOVE RD and glad it's getting some love

This channel made my day every day

I don’t say this normally but you changed my mind

Enjoying the content dude and it's good to see some decent gameplay compared to other channels I find myself getting frustrated watching people struggle to use monkey bars etc 😂

I will miss you RD from 2016 ;_; Great video mate!

I love that Doom Eternal actually forces you to use every weapon cuz in 2016 all i really used was the Combat Shotgun and its grenade mod, as well as the Gauss Cannon's siege mode. Now i'm loving the hell out of every weapon and mod in the arsenal. And i love that alot of mods are similar but improved over 2016's versions, like with Siege mode turning into that massive wave

Oh thank goodness. I need this video. I can't use the remote detonate _at all_ and spend most of the time with that mod wishing I had the other one on. The rocket launcher in general has always been a more "meh" weapon for me since the self-damage always bites me in the clumsy ass, so the ability to just dump it into an enemy and put that ammo to use was the best I got.

That is so interesting. Maybe I'll have to experiment with the mastered remote det in Doom 2016. I never used it, but I always use it in Eternal because of your videos (I like using the faltering system). I've recently found out about the siege mode instant blast tech and broke the game, maybe i'll learn how to break it even more with this :)

I personally liked the lock on burst and I have always used it in every playthrough

Been going for the "As many explosions as possible" mods on my weapons (micro missiles, homing rockets, etc.) on my first play through, but this video convinced me that on my second time around, I should be a little more tactical and precise, using Precision Bolt and Remote Detonation respectively. Pretty sick how there's an entire playstyle I haven't even touched even with 15 hours in the game.

I’ve used remote set from the very start, definitely part of my play style🤙🏼

Dude you are so goooood yesterday you were 9K Subs today you are 13K Please Remember us when you reach 1M

Remote detonation is one of the best mods for Battlemode as well. Not requiring line of sight is an even bigger advantage against player controlled demons than against AI since they play more defensively. It's just a shame in the campaign how they made lock-on like a mini Siege Mode (one-shots half the heavies) so you find yourself holding on to the small ammo pool to use lcok-on on the higher difficulties leaving a small room for remote det use. It was my favourite mod on 2016 for sure.

That footage was kind of funny, looking back at 2016 after playing Doom Eternal on Nightmare and seeing the demons just kind of chilling in their arenas, barely threatening the player and waiting to die.

Fantastic video! Love the channel! One thing to improve is to eliminate background music while gameplay is shown. Beside that great video! 🤘🏽

The rocket launcher is the only weapon I must have both mods for.

Ok. It's a minute and a half in, and you've sold me on the remote detonation mod in DOOM 2016. I actually never tried it before or attempted to look at its upgrades. I thought, how could the ability to choose when to blow up the rocket ever outstrip a 3-rocket burst that never misses? Thanks for opening my eyes.

This mod ends up becoming *required* in Battlemode

Remote detonator is awesome. For me it worked very well against pinkies in 2016. Shoot the rocket by their left or right side when they charge, and detonate, hits their armorless backs and staggers them.

Its my favourite mod too, you can hit enemies from any angle with it

Cool voice over. Smooth 👍

In Eternal, I did not even bother with remote detonation, since watching Mayo. I use it, even more, especially in the Ancient Gods. Thanks, Mayo!

I usually save the Rocket-Launcher for really tough targets like Cyber-Mancubus, AOE damage wasn't my concern so I go with lock-on burst instead. Unfortunately much of the damage of the Rocket-launcher comes from direct hits so you need a lot of targets in the viscinity which usually mostly fodder demons that you could might as well just deal with less important ammo.

It’s my go to mod in Battlemode, helps keep the demons from camping and forces them to separate

I've found myself using remote detonation more than lock-on in general. It's especially great against Marauders since it falters them regardless of their shield, allowing you to follow it up with another hit (say, from the ballista). You can entirely bypass their shield this way without relying on stunlock combos that only work if they do a specific move.

I'm working back through what seemed like killer early levels, at this stage, to get the Unmakyr. Those early levels that kicked my ass hard, on U.N. seem so manageable now I'm definitely going for a normal fully U.N. playthrough as soon as this is over and after gaming for 37 years, I don't really do that with anything, anymore

Hey, I remember you from TYM. Anyway, great videos. What are your favourite games outside of the DOOM series? Maybe you could do a video on it, or a top 5 fps video or something.

make more vids like the this, the game is full of possibilities and we should try them all

The remote detonation explosion is so cool in eternal!

It’s 4:15 AM but I saw this video and had to watch

Like you said, I think remote detonation is very useful to explode crowds, especially frozen/burning ones. Everyone says "just use grenades" but they take a while to recharge before upgrading. I guess you could use sticky bombs, but I haven't experimented enough with them yet to see if they're a good enough substitute.

Loving the doom content thank you

The Remote Detonation Mod in Eternal is a lot more efficient on ammo than the burst mode which is best reserved for bosses like Khan Makyr. I love your Doom Eternal videos. Very insightful and just outright helpful to those new to the game's intense combat.

The stagger pulse is really nice against those Summoning Demons. You can interrupt them with it. I chose it over lock on on my first playthrough because I thought I could make it through without needing the extra power. Everything was fine until I got to the Doom Hunter. Just took me a while to beat him.

I personally find the lock on burst more useful, because it just fits my game style, it takes out a Mancubus with one burst, but the remote detonation isn’t bad.

Personally, I like the concussive blast that staggers enemies more than anything from the rocket launcher in Doom 2016. It is soooooo helpful when fighting tougher enemies. You stagger them with several different weapons and you can get some great combos in on them..

Which the rockets in doom were like the Spnkr Prime from Halo 5

awesome insights

Never thought of that...

just realized that a Rocket Launcher with Detonation + Ballista combo can quickly kill a Mancubus

other upgrade is better than because it allows you to use 3 rocket at the same time and when you slown the time down it is very useful

Hey there Mayo. Just wanna say been loving your channel, the commentary you do is really good. And I agree with you on the differences between this and Doom 2016 and how this is much more balanced. The first thing I noticed about Doom eternal is that I thought it seemed harder than Doom 2016. But then as I played more I realized that the skill ceiling feels much higher in doom eternal. I never beat ultra nightmare in doom 2016. But I feel like that is totally attainable in doom eternal because of the feeling it makes that every encounter is doable and fair even at the hardest settings. To me this shows how strong the core mechanics are to change me from basically not even wanting to attempt ultra nightmare on doom 2016, to thinking I can beat it in doom eternal.

This was the first and only mod I used for the rocket launcher simply because it made the gun look so cool lol😂

I've always loved that mod, although I sometimes switch to lock on for certain demons

Remote Det was great for doing alot of damage without missing the glory kill state in 2016.

Ive just got to Arc complex on my UN run (it's actually, like, my 12th UN run but shhhhhhh) I may practice this for the marauders to come lol

Interesting, after I do my initial easy/story/100% run, I switch to nightmare and I usually pick one mod per weapon so upgrading is faster and I know I have all the tools I am most effective with as early as possible. And with some tools missing, it might stress the importance of other weapons even more!

"already dead lol" XD love this channel dude :]

On my first playthrough I only used it since I didn't know how to use lock-on. (Bear in mind I used to be a mobile player and this is my first pc game, still I managed to clear the campaign in nightmare only lowering the difficulty in like 3 encounters if I remember correctly).

"The 2016 enemies aren't nearly as aggressive and smart." Doom 2016 Imps would like some words.

I finally bought Doom Enteral!

I think there could be no situation where remote det would be more efficient to use then lock-on. What I believe the best way of using this mod is to falter a cyber mancubus to then bloodpunch him and finsh with ssg, but there is a problem: you don't need remote det fo falter! you can just shoot a rocket directly at him, meathook, ssg (falter), bloodpunch and he is dead, simple as that. You are still using the same ammount of ammo and it is usually faster for me. I find lock on more easy to use on a large groups of fodder that I have just set on fire but consiering that I am not using remote det so oftren and I am most likely gonna have lock-on equiped, I wont change the mod befor shooting them (there is also a sticky bomb for that matter). But I completely agree with you when it comes to like actually having fun in this game trying to deliberetly use strange comboes and tactics. It is where there is no place for lock on. So yeah, the sattement I made in the first sentence has been prooven false by myself lol. In Hunt:showdown we call in "meming" or "memeing" idk, its the most fun way to play, like oyu can take a rifle and a pistol which is obviouly the most efficient way of playing but the most fun is hiding is strange weapons such as machete ar a bow.

1:55 Music scare me. I thought the Revenant was gonna fortnite default dance.

Honestly, with the upped damage of rockets in Eternal, the rocket launcher with remote det has become my crowd-clearing mod of choice, when I barely used the rocket launcher in DOOM... 😁

Let’s gooo mayoooo

"Here's one of the big late game fights" Nah man, you accidently showed the DOOM ETERNAL tutorial

After seing draqu play with the lock mod it's hard to go to remote detonation

the only scenario i found remote detnation good is in battlemode when im keeping my distance from marauders and archviles that chases me around for close up dmg, i found that they going to have a hard time reacting and avoiding the proximity dmg while they're focued chasing me. which proved good for me on decimating their health bars incase i cant lower thiers easily with the mobile turret.

In battlemode, the entire concussive blast damages player demons, and does some good damage as well, combine that with an unmodified ballista shot, and you might as well call me Phil Swift cause that's a lot of damage. Especially with Pain elementals.

you can also use it against the marauder

I always used remote detonation. I played a lot of Soldier in TF2 so rocket launcher aiming is already something I got good at. In Doom 2016 I learned you could use it VERY well if you managed to both hit the enemy with the shrapnel & warhead.

It gets pinkies and sissies (marauders) behind their protection so...

How about doing a side by side comparison of a doom 2016 combat arena and an eternal combat arena? You could compare level design and ai too. It might make an interesting and informative video.

Loving your content so far. Stick to mainly doom please! Lol

Now do the microwave beam mod for the plasma rifle. Have yet to find a use for that

Can someone tell me why can't I activate this mod? I have the first one but it seems that I can't activate this one. I really want to try it and is sad that I am not able. And please don't tell me that because I have activate lock-on mod I can't activate the remote one.

Do you have any tips for Players with controllers?

Remote detonation is 👌👌👌 Very overlooked

At the beginning I was using it too, but I found that lock on is better because of Shoot, Lock on 3 rockets and shoot again, total of 5 rockets in Doom 2016, it was really quick DPS to one enemy and some damage to nearest enemies. It is nerfed in Doom Eternal, now there is delay beeten each shot so I think now it is balanced beetwen Lock on and Remote Detonation.

remote detonation is pretty good for Marauders too

My favorite weapon mod :3

Dude are you me? Your opinions are gold

I never unlocked it in Doom Eternal because I thought it would be useless. Guess I'll have to start using it now.

Hey Mayo, is it okay if I link your RD videos in my upcoming video?

It was stupid strong indeed in 2016, still not as broken as the Double Trouble SSG though which the GOAT of all mod in the whole Doom franchise :^)

Please make a video on the full auto mode of doom eternal
