When using the BFG, try to fire one-two shot at a time.

If a target gets near a point of impact, splash damage will take off most of, if not all of his health.

Against one person, the BFG can wipe the target out with ease: it can wipe out an unarmored and healthy target in one blast.

BFG has a slight edge over RL with its higher fire rate allowing possessor to pounce from walls with a follow up shot once mid air. The BFG can be used to Rocket Jump, a bit higher than a Rocket Launcher can carry you.

Along with the other splash damage weapons, BFG can harm its user if he/she is too close to the impact point.

It's not worth constantly getting killed just for one weapon. If there are too many people, just ignore it. If not, try to slip in and take out the possessor behind his back, then finish off anybody that's left with it. If you can, try to take control of the area the BFG is in at the start of the match.

Areas that have the BFG are usually hotly-contested areas.

Make sure to keep on moving so that it'll be harder for them to figure out where you are. It's essentially a fast-firing Rocket Launcher with firepower of a glorified Plasma Gun (so it is very different from the Quake2 variation), which makes it a great room clearer.

The BFG10K is a very versatile weapon that can take out multiple foes quickly.

The BFG gets its name from the incredibly powerful BFG 9000 from the Doom series, a game also developed by id Software. It is rare to deplete all ammunition from the BFG10K before getting fragged (unless you rapidly spend ammo). However, once you've got the BFG10K, you're essentially a higher priority target to other players among many others.

The BFG10K in Quake 3 is sometimes viewed as an overpowered weapon. Some even refer to it as 'Big Fragging Gun'.

Instead of game feedback reading as he/she/it killed oneself with BFG, message comes up as ' (Player/NPC) should have used a smaller gun.'.īFG stands for 'Big Fucking Gun'. The BFG10K is one of the few weapons that the players can blast themselves away with by being utterly careless and getting caught in already small splash radius. These globs can kill an unarmored and healthy target in one hit, and inflict a large splash damage around the point of impact. In Quake 3 Arena, the BFG10K is a weapon that quickly fires deadly globs of plasma of an indescribed irradiated material -like uranium. 180 rpm (3 BFG shot per second in Quake Live).
