Description

VEGA is a sentient AI from the modern DOOM games that can assist you in many different ways through voice commands. You can ask him to do almost anything, and can even give you info about moons, creatures and a lot more.

What can I ask VEGA to do?

VEGA is able to perform a very wide variety of actions. From disabling hazards, opening doors, to even giving you an Advanced Scanner that can detect nearby items and entities.

Here's the full list of all the things you can ask him to do:

Moons

You can ask VEGA to give you information about any of the base game's moons with the following voice command:

• VEGA, info about [name of the moon]

Creatures

You can ask VEGA to read out a creature's bestiary entry with the command:

• VEGA, read [creature's name] entry

You can also ask him to give you a summary of the creature by saying:

• VEGA, info about [creature's name]

Some creature mods are compatible with these commands. Check the list of compatible creature mods that is at the end of the page for more details.

Advanced Scanner

VEGA is capable of adding two trackers to your helmet's display that will give you information on how many items and creatures are near you in real time, similarly to the ship's minimap. The item tracker doesn't just give you the number of nearby items however, it also displays how much they are worth in total. Also, items held by you or other players do not get tracked by the Advanced Scanner.

To activate the Advanced Scanner, use the following command:

• VEGA, activate scanner / enable scanner / turn on scanner / activate advanced scanner / enable advanced scanner / scan

To disable it, you can just say:

• VEGA, disable scanner / turn off scanner / disable advanced scanner / turn off advanced scanner / disable scan

Secure doors

VEGA can open and close the closest secure door to you with the following commands:

• VEGA, open secure door / open door / open the door / open the secure door
• VEGA, close secure door / close door / close the door / close the secure door

Alternatively, you can also ask him to open or close all secure doors in the facility with these commands:

• VEGA, open all secure doors / open all doors
• VEGA, close all secure doors / close all doors

Hazards

You can ask VEGA to disable the nearest turret, mine or spike trap with the following commands:

• VEGA, disable turret / disable the turret
• VEGA, disable the mine / disable mine / disable the landmine / disable landmine
• VEGA, disable the trap / disable trap / disable the spike trap / disable spike trap

And, as is the case with Secure Doors, he can also disable all mines, traps and turrets inside the facility with the following commands:

• VEGA, disable all turrets
• VEGA, disable all mines / disable all landmines
• VEGA, disable all traps / disable all spike traps

Teleporter

VEGA is capable of using the ship's teleporter. To have him do so, you just have to say:

• VEGA, tp / teleport / activate tp / activate teleporter

I heavily recommend you always use the Radar Switch command before asking him to use the teleporter if you aren't playing solo, as you could otherwise accidentally teleport someone else back to the ship.

Radar Switch

VEGA can focus the ship's radar / cameras / minimap on you by saying:

• VEGA, focus / focus on me / switch to me / switch radar / switch radar to me

Reports

Crew Status

You can ask VEGA to give you a status report of your crew that tells you how many players are left with the following command:

• VEGA, crew status / team status / crew info / team info / crew report / team report

Here's an example of what it can look like:

Scrap Scan

You can ask VEGA to perform a moon wide scrap scan that tells you how many items are inside and how many items you have in the ship as well as the total value for both with the following command:

• VEGA, scrap left / items left / scan for scrap / scan for items

Here's an example of what it can look like:

Who's in the ship?

You can ask VEGA to give you a report with the names of the people that are in the ship with the following command:

• VEGA, crew in ship / people in ship / get crew in ship / get people in ship / how many people are in the ship? / is anyone in the ship? / is anybody in the ship?

Here's an example of what it can look like:

Radar Boosters

VEGA is capable of interacting with the nearest Radar Booster to you. You can have him use the flash command by saying:

• VEGA, flash

And the ping command with:

• VEGA, ping

Signal Translator

You can ask VEGA to transmit a wide variety of different signals to the signal translator with the command:

• VEGA, transmit / send [message]

This is the defualt set of messages you can send:

• YES
• NO
• OKAY
• HELP
• THANKS
• ITEMS
• MAIN
• FIRE
• GIANT
• GIANTS
• DOG
• DOGS

Miscellaneous

To tell him to stop talking, you can use one of the following commands:

• VEGA, shut up / stop / stop talking
• Shut up, VEGA / Stop, VEGA / Stop talking, VEGA

And to thank him, you can say:

• VEGA, thank you / thanks
