How to unlock the Guns Are For Wusses achievement in DOOM (1993) - Definitive Guide

I did this on the second Episode "The Shores of Hell" on the second level "Containment Area".

Right at the beginning go forward and make a left. You will find a black health kit called a berserker pack. This gives you full health, makes your screen go temporarily red and greatly increases the damage of your melee attacks for the rest of the level even after the red goes away.

The good part about this level is the enemies are mostly imps and demon dogs so you largely have to avoid the fireballs and it will take 1-2 hits per enemy. I did this without opening any doors and I was on Ultra Violence difficulty but I am sure you can lower it and still get this. The only issue is the lower the difficulty the less enemies you will see.

I did this on the lowest difficulty and got the achievement in 5 minutes, maybe less. Just be smart and try to dodge the fireballs the best you can, but there are plenty of health packs and armor around.

Can confirm this is unobtainable in death match with two controllers. Decided to test it after getting the 200% health and armor on a level achievement.

I did this on "I'm Too Young to Die" difficulty with no issues. Just wanted to let everyone else know.

I did this following demonspawns method above but on the easiest difficulty. There are enough enemies.

I think this achievement is bugged. I've killed plenty of monsters in the same level 25 times and no achievement.

Also appears to be buggy for me.

Just tried GuyPandemonium’s guide but it didn’t work. Also tried it in game and no luck there either.

What happened to me is that I said to myself Im gonna do this achievements and I killed 3 soldiers with the fist and the achievement appeared.

So the kills are accumulating, which means that you can reset any level multiple times, just get 25 kills with your fist in that level.

If that level has only 15 enemies, reset and kill 10 more.

The easiest method I've found to do this is on the level stated in this solution (2-2) but via local cooperative multiplayer (if you have a 2nd controller) as you can select this level directly without having to unlock it and dying won't matter.

When you launch the game, select Local Multiplayer then Cooperative. Set the Options to:

Chapter: Knee-Deep in the Dead
Map: 2
Difficulty: Ultra-Violence (for maximum amount of enemy spawns)

After setting the options, sign into a guest account with a 2nd controller then ready up on both controllers. Don't worry about the 2nd controller, you won't need to touch it again, its okay if player 2 dies.

When the level begins follow the combat recommendations in the solution above. If you die you will just respawn at the beginning but all of the enemies you have killed will remain dead and enemies killed before you die still count towards progress. I just unlocked this myself without even really trying to dodge and after dying 2 or 3 times while killing 25 enemies total.

The achievement should pop right away, you won't need to complete the level to unlock it. Hope that helps!

This is best done on E2M2 on the Hurt Me Plenty difficulty as lower difficulties do not spawn enough enemies. Here is a video guide to unlocking this achievement.

Basically pick any of the later levels in knee deep in the shores of hell on the easiest setting (so the monsters don't overwhelm you), I chose Computer Central I think, switch to fists and punch the living daylights out of anything. angry
