Skills & Progression | |
Progression is based on unlocking and mastering the game's 75+ unique operators. Each operator has a signature gadget and a specific loadout of weapons. There are no skill trees; progression is about expanding your tactical options by unlocking more operators with in-game currency ('Renown') and improving your personal skill and map knowledge. |

public World & Exploration | |
World & Level Design | |
The game features a large pool of compact, intricate maps designed for close-quarters tactical combat. With the Siege X update, five classic maps (Bank, Clubhouse, Border, Chalet, Kafe) have received a full visual and fidelity overhaul, with more planned for future seasons. A new, much larger map called 'District' was introduced exclusively for the 'Dual Front' game mode. |

Multiplayer Details | |
The primary mode is the 5v5 single-elimination 'Bomb' mode. Other classic modes like Hostage and Secure Area are available. The major new addition is 'Dual Front,' a permanent 6v6 mode with respawns and simultaneous attack/defense objectives on the game's largest map. |
1. BATTLEMODE (2v1 PvP): An asymmetrical mode where two player-controlled demons team up against one fully-loaded Doom Slayer. Each demon has unique abilities and summons. 2. Invasion Mode (Canceled): A planned mode where players could invade another's campaign as a demon, which was ultimately canceled. Horde Mode was added as a single-player wave-based survival mode. |
extension Editions & DLC | |
Available Editions | |
The core game is free-to-play with access to most modes and a rotating roster of 26 operators. The Elite Edition ($19.99) unlocks Ranked mode and 16 additional operators. The Ultimate Edition ($39.99) provides instant access to all 52 additional operators and exclusive cosmetic items. All progress from previous versions of Siege carries over. |
Available in Standard Edition and Deluxe Edition. Deluxe Edition included the Year One Pass (The Ancient Gods - Part One & Part Two DLCs), Demonic Slayer Skin, and Classic Weapon Sound Pack. A Collector's Edition included a wearable Doom Slayer Helmet replica, SteelBook, lore book, lithograph, and all Deluxe Edition digital content. |
Post-Launch Content / DLC | |
Siege X follows a seasonal live-service model. Every season introduces a new Battle Pass with branching paths, new operators, map reworks, and major balance changes. The first season, 'Operation Daybreak,' included a rework for the operator Clash. |
The main post-launch content was the two-part story expansion 'The Ancient Gods - Part One' and 'The Ancient Gods - Part Two,' which continue the Doom Slayer's story after the main campaign. Numerous free updates added Master Levels (remixed, harder campaign levels), new BATTLEMODE arenas and demons, cosmetic skins, and quality-of-life improvements like Horde Mode. |
