Pro strat is to peak forward a smidge and then pop off the few zombiemen and shotgun guys that are drawn in.

just to be that guy

          Module.onEnemyKilled();Module.onEnemyKilled();Module.onEnemyKilled()

probably should run part of the game on the server if you want to prevent bypassing the captcha easily

This is the secret level (E1M9) that you'd normally encounter after E1M3. By this point in the regular progression you'd have found a shotgun, chaingun, rocket launcher, and probably some armor. Starting this level with just a pistol (and it looks like maybe U-V or Nightmare difficulty) is just begging for a buttwhipping.

Yes, this is set to Nightmare, don't feel that bad.

Clearly from comment comments here some humans can do this, but are we sure that bots can’t?

I tried to do it the intended way, but found it too difficult. I was able to cheese it by staying in the starting area and killing the enemies that spawned to the right.

If you run immediately to right entry and get behind everything providing one of the shotgun guys dies you can get the shotgun and take them out.

>and the self-realization that I now suck at playing video games. Nah... No mouselook really makes this much harder. Took me over 10 attempts to pass, and I'm Diamond at Overwatch.

Didn't realize that was a thing. Was using the keyboard the whole time. Took a few tries to figure out how to strafe... and then just kept the spacebar pressed the whole time, and cleared the CAPTCHA. :)
