1.1.7 Special Items

These are the special items found in Quake 2 CTF that have special functions that you should know about. The learning of these can help save your life, or extend it greatly. Others of these are found in single player but have had their effect modified for CTF.

Quad Damage - The most devastating of all power ups in Quake 2. It basically quadruples the damage you do with all weapons (with the exception of the BFG 10K). With the BFG 10K only the final explosion does 4X damage not the beams which shoot out from the main ball. Other than that all the other weapons do 4X damage and with the Power Amplifier Tech they will do 8X damage.
Silencer - This muffles the sound of your weapon firing. It is most effective with non- energy weapons. Energy weapons can be easily traced with the lighting effects, but a Machine Gun or Shotgun is more difficult. It is useful for sneak attacks but once you get into a battle where the other person can see you it is useless.

Bandolier - This increases the carrying capacity you have for all types of ammo, except for rockets and grenades. Check out the Ammo page for the info on how much your carrying capacity is increased.

q2_backpack.jpg (3513 bytes)

Backpack - Just like the Bandolier in that it increases your ammo carrying capacity, except it increases it by a lot more. This increases your carrying capacity for ALL weapons and it also gives you one unit of ammo for each weapon (10 shells, 50 bullets, 5 grenades, 5 rockets, 10 slugs, 50 cells). Check out the Ammo page for the info on just how much your carrying capacity is increased.
