DOOM Eternal

Introduction to DOOM Eternal

DOOM Eternal is id Software’s blisteringly fast first-person shooter where you become the Slayer and carve through demon hordes across Earth, Hell and dimensions beyond. Since its 2020 launch, the game has evolved through multiple major updates and next-gen enhancements. In 2025, it received its most community-centric refresh yet on PC: a free update that brings official support for community creations, a streamlined launcher, and access to the idStudio beta editor and asset packs. In practice, that means you can browse, install, sort and play player-made campaigns, encounters and tweaks right from a first-party launcher, with the base game always a click away.

Get an overview of DOOM Eternal: the core campaign and DLC, standout gameplay systems and mechanics, the new “community creation” ecosystem on PC, along with performance considerations and the game’s place in id’s broader news cycle at the moment.

Key Features of DOOM Eternal

1. Signature combat loop

Eternal doubles down on aggressive, push-forward gameplay. Glory kills, chainsaw fuel routes, flame belch armor shards and resource triage force you to stay mobile and make micro-decisions every second. Enemies are designed as moving puzzles: weak points and counters keep encounters readable but demanding.

2. Campaign and expansions

Beyond the base story, The Ancient Gods Parts One and Two extend the campaign with arena-dense levels and hard-edged boss fights. If you’re returning after a few years, you’re stepping into a matured package fine-tuned by years of balance passes since Update 6.66 and its follow-ups.

3. PC “community creations” update

The headline for returning PC players is official support for user-made content. Launching DOOM Eternal on PC now opens a first-party launcher where you can:

• Browse hundreds of curated community creations with tags, stats and screenshots.
• Download, activate and reorder add-ons via a built-in load manager.
• Switch between the untouched retail game and a customized session at any time.
• Create and publish your own work through a My Creations hub, with downloadable asset packs.
• Use idStudio (beta), the same editor id uses, to build levels and encounters. The rollout is live on Steam and coming to the Microsoft Store, expanding reach to more PC players.

4. Why it matters

This formalizes years of community ingenuity into an accessible, supported pipeline. Instead of manually wrangling files, you can discover, install and play new combat scenarios in minutes. For creators, official tools and asset packs (including campaign and PvP packs, plus content from both DLCs, minus restricted map sources) open the door to sophisticated projects with clearer distribution.

5. Performance and platforms

Eternal remains exceptionally optimized, scaling from mid-range rigs to high-refresh monsters, with HDR, ultrawide support and robust settings. On Steam Deck, it’s rated “Playable,” and PC performance continues to benefit from ongoing tech-stack updates and driver support.

6. Where Eternal sits in id’s 2025 ecosystem

QuakeCon 2025 brought a wave of id news: a definitive re-release of Heretic and Hexen with modern features and cross-platform play, big updates for DOOM: The Dark Ages, and crucially for Eternal players, official PC support for community creations with a browser listing hundreds of pieces ready to try. It is a statement of long-term support and a bridge between id’s classic roots and its current slate.

Tips for Playing DOOM Eternal

Below are practical, battle-tested tips to sharpen your play. Use these in tandem with your gear and situational awareness:

• Never Stop Moving: Staying still in DOOM Eternal is often fatal. Enemies spawn behind you, and projectiles fill the arena. Circling, strafing, and jumping keep you safe and responsive. For example: if a Baron is charging a slam, sidestep and double-dash rather than standing your ground.
• Use Flame Belch Before Kills and Chainsaw: Whenever an enemy is wounded (on the verge of a Glory Kill) or prior to using the chainsaw, trigger Flame Belch first. Enemies set aflame drop extra armor, helping buffer incoming damage. In intense fights, you might do: Flame Belch → Glory Kill → instant health pickup.
• Don’t Hoard Your Resources: In tough encounters, use heavy weapons and grenades liberally instead of conserving them. The faster you eliminate threats, the fewer chances they have to retaliate. For instance: do not wait to use a rocket on a Revenant, fire it before it can unleash missiles.
• Chain Weapon Swaps for Damage Efficiency: Switching weapons mid-combat keeps your DPS up. A useful method is to fire the Super Shotgun, then instantly swap to Ballista or Rocket Launcher to finish off tougher enemies. For example: hit a target with Super Shotgun to stagger, then finish with Ballista’s precise shot.
• Master Meathook Use: The Meathook (on the Super Shotgun) is more than a mobility tool. Use it to close gaps quickly or launch yourself toward flying enemies to maintain aggression. When mid-air or separated from the main fight, hook to an enemy and follow up with a shotgun burst.
• Prioritize Falters in Crowded Fights: Faltered demons cannot attack, giving you windows to reposition or deal bursts safely. You can use grenades or weapon mods that exploit falter triggers. For example: if a Baron or Marauder is charging, toss a grenade to falter them, then close with a glory kill or ranged burst.
• Know Enemy Weak Points and Behavior: Each demon has a “soft spot” and a behavioral pattern. Example: for Mancubus, use the Meathook plus Super Shotgun followed by Blood Punch. Against a Marauder, clear other heavies first before tackling it since its counters can punish you.
• Search for Secrets During Lulls: Between combat waves or in quieter segments, pause briefly and scan your surroundings. Hidden rooms often contain weapon upgrades, extra life pickups, or lore tokens. Do not rush past ledges or suspicious walls without checking for secrets.

Conclusion

Five years on, DOOM Eternal is still the gold standard for kinetic, learnable, high-skill shooters. The 2025 PC update transforms it from a closed package into a living platform: discover fresh arenas, tune your load order and jump straight into new combat loops without leaving the official launcher. Couple that with idStudio beta access and you have a rare combination: AAA polish with a sanctioned pathway for player creativity. If you’ve been waiting for “one more run,” there are now hundreds of fresh reasons to rip and tear.
