Recommended Mod Combinations and Play Styles

The amount of content for the GZDoom engine is quite astounding. During Beta Testing our team tried as many combinations, looking for what worked best in VR. At the end we tallied up everyone's favourite mods to produce this list. This is by no means a comprehensive guide, but it's a great starting point if you are unfamiliar with Doom modifications/
All of the mentioned mods are available to download via the QuestZDoom Launcher. You can find notes regarding the best performance settings within the Launcehr.

A big thank you once again to our dedicated beta testers for help compiling this list.

First Time Experience (Maps of Chaos + MeatGrinder)

This is what I show friends to let them know what QuestZDoom is all about. Action, Gore, great map design and a soundtrack that blows your mind. Maps of Chaos in combination with Meatgrinder is just so good. Experience the original iD maps, but turned up to 11.

The True Sequel to Doom II (Doom 64: Retribution)

Widely considered to be the true sequel to Doom II. Doom 64 was originally released for the Nintendo 64. This is a fan recreation. The goal of the project is to be mostly accurate to the original game as well as add very minor improvements for that extra bit of polish. Think of this mod as being an enhanced version of Doom 64.

Pending: VR Weapons / Fixes
Like being scared? Been waiting for a chance to be impregnated by a Xenomorph? Experience Aliens: Eradication. The Single Player Missions are a bit too intensive for the Quest.
