• Doomblade: Melee (Integrated Arm Blade)
  The Slayer's retractable arm blade, primarily used for Glory Kills and Blood Punch attacks.
• Chainsaw: Utility/Melee (Ammo Generation)
  Instantly kills most demons (except Super Heavy) and causes them to drop a large amount of ammunition. Requires fuel, which recharges over time or via pickups.
• Equipment Launcher (Frag Grenade, Ice Bomb): Shoulder-Mounted Utility
  Allows the Slayer to fire Frag Grenades for area damage or Ice Bombs to freeze enemies, making them vulnerable or easier to manage. Upgradable.
• Flame Belch: Shoulder-Mounted Utility (Armor Generation)
  Sets enemies on fire. Damaging ignited enemies causes them to drop armor shards. Upgradable.

  A powerful warhammer that creates a shockwave, stunning demons and causing them to drop health/ammo when combined with Flame Belch or Ice Bomb.

• Energy Shields: The classic Borderlands shield type. Absorbs burst damage and begins a fast recharge after a short delay of not taking damage.
• Armor Shields: A new shield type designed for brawlers. Armor regenerates segments constantly, even while in combat, but is more vulnerable to corrosive damage.
• Firmware System: A new gear set system. Equipping multiple non-weapon gear pieces with the same Firmware provides powerful set bonuses. Firmware can be transferred between items.

• Praetor Suit: The Doom Slayer's advanced combat armor. Provides base protection (Armor points) and can be upgraded with Praetor Suit Points to enhance various systems: Fundamentals (health, armor, ammo capacity), Environment (resistance to hazards), Frag Grenade, Ice Bomb, and Flame Belch (capacity, cooldowns, effects). Armor is a resource that absorbs damage before health and can be replenished by Flame Belching enemies or finding armor pickups.
• Runes: Up to three Runes can be equipped at a time, providing powerful passive abilities and buffs. Examples include 'Savagery' (faster Glory Kills), 'Seek and Destroy' (longer Glory Kill range), 'Air Control' (better mid-air maneuverability), 'Dazed and Confused' (longer enemy stagger time), 'Saving Throw' (survive one fatal blow).
• Sentinel Crystals: Collectible items that allow the Slayer to choose between upgrading maximum Health, Armor, or Ammunition capacity. Unlocking both upgrades on a crystal grants an additional passive perk.

• Cosmetic Customization: A deep customization system is expected, allowing players to unlock and equip a wide variety of heads, body skins, color schemes, and emotes for their Vault Hunters to personalize their appearance.

• Doom Slayer Armor Skins: Players can unlock a wide variety of cosmetic skins for the Doom Slayer's Praetor Suit. These are earned through game progression, completing challenges, finding secrets, linking accounts (e.g., Slayers Club), participating in in-game events, or via DLC/Deluxe Edition. Skins range from classic Doomguy looks to unique demonic or Sentinel-themed designs but offer no gameplay advantages.
• Weapon Skins: Similarly, many weapons have unlockable cosmetic skins that change their appearance without altering their stats or functionality. Earned through similar methods as armor skins.
• Player Profile Customization (Podiums, Animations, Icons, Titles - BATTLEMODE): In BATTLEMODE, players can customize their Slayer and Demon podiums, intro/victory animations, profile icons, and titles to personalize their online presence.

Character progression is deeper than ever. Each of the four new Vault Hunters has three massive skill trees with over 50 levels of progression. A new endgame system called 'Specializations' replaces Badass Ranks, offering meaningful gameplay perks instead of small stat increases. SDU upgrades for inventory and ammo are also available.

The game features a single, massive, seamless open-world planet called Kairos. This is a significant evolution from the zone-based maps of previous titles, eliminating loading screens between regions and allowing for greater freedom of exploration with a completely overhauled movement system.

• None (Player Controlled for Traversal)
  The Doom Slayer primarily traverses environments on foot, utilizing his advanced mobility (double jump, dash, climbing, meathook). There are no player-controlled vehicles like cars or bikes for general traversal.
• Fortress of Doom (Hub): Celestial Space Station / Hub World
  The Doom Slayer's mobile headquarters. While not a 'vehicle' in the traditional sense, it travels between dimensions and serves as a central hub where the player can access collectibles, upgrade weapons and suit, practice in a training room (Ripatorium), and select missions. It is not directly piloted by the player during gameplay missions.
• Contextual/Environmental Vehicles (e.g., Demonic Machinery, Lifts): Interactive Environment Elements

• Q: Is DOOM Eternal a direct sequel to DOOM (2016)?
  A: Yes, DOOM Eternal directly continues the story of the Doom Slayer from where DOOM (2016) left off, expanding significantly on the lore and universe.
• Q: What is the 'Doom Dance' or 'Funky Fetus' combat loop?
  A: This refers to the core gameplay loop of DOOM Eternal: aggressively engaging demons, using Glory Kills on staggered enemies to regain health, using the Chainsaw on weaker demons for ammunition, and using the Flame Belch to set enemies on fire and make them drop armor shards when damaged. This constant resource management through offensive actions is key to survival.
• Q: What are Master Levels?
  A: Master Levels are remixed versions of campaign levels with significantly increased difficulty, different enemy placements, and new challenges. They are designed for experienced players seeking a greater test of skill.
• Q: How does the Meathook on the Super Shotgun work?

This is used for aggressive closing of distances, setting up close-range shotgun blasts, aerial maneuvering, and can be upgraded to set hooked enemies on fire (generating armor with Flame Belch).
• Q: What is BATTLEMODE?
  A: BATTLEMODE is DOOM Eternal's 2v1 asymmetrical multiplayer mode where two player-controlled demons (choosing from types like Mancubus, Marauder, Revenant, etc., each with unique abilities) fight against one fully kitted Doom Slayer. It's a best-of-five rounds mode focused on tactical team play for demons and aggressive skill for the Slayer.
• Q: Does DOOM Eternal have ray tracing?
  A: Yes, ray-traced reflections were added to DOOM Eternal in a post-launch update for PC (NVIDIA RTX and AMD RX 6000 series and newer) and current-gen consoles (PS5, Xbox Series X). This feature enhances visual quality but is demanding on hardware.

Iconic heavy metal soundtrack composed by Mick Gordon (main game) and Andrew Hulshult & David Levy (DLCs). The music is dynamic, intensifying with combat and perfectly complementing the aggressive gameplay. Sound design is visceral, with powerful weapon effects, distinct demonic roars, and satisfying feedback for Glory Kills and resource pickups.

Fast-paced and clear HUD displaying health, armor, ammo, Rad Suit/Oxygen levels, Equipment Launcher charges, Blood Punch/Flame Belch cooldowns, and available Chainsaw pips. Weapon wheel for selection. Codex entries provide extensive lore. Brightly colored pickups (health, ammo, armor) are easily identifiable in combat.

Includes a range of accessibility options: customizable controls (full remapping on PC), subtitle customization (size, background, speaker names), colorblind modes (Protanopia, Deuteranopia, Tritanopia), options to reduce camera shake and motion blur, adjustable UI opacity, and options for hit marker visuals and sound cues.
