DOOM Eternal Guide

🎮 Combat Loop (Most Important)

DOOM Eternal is about aggression — standing still = death:

• Low ammo?: Chainsaw enemies — they explode into ammo
• Low health?: Glory kill enemies — they drop health
• Low armor?: Flame belch enemies — they drop armor
• Always move: Dash, jump, double-jump — never stop

🔫 Weapon Guide

• Combat Shotgun: Starter weapon — sticky bombs mod is great
• Heavy Cannon: Precision bolt = sniper, very useful
• Plasma Rifle: Good against shielded enemies
• Rocket Launcher: Lock-on mod for mobile targets
• Super Shotgun: Meat hook — pulls you to enemies, essential
• Ballista: High damage, good for weak points
• Chaingun: Energy shield mod for defense
• BFG: Limited ammo — save for big fights

👹 Boss Tips

• Learn weak points: Most bosses have destructible parts — shoot them first
• Use the environment: Jump pads and monkey bars keep you mobile
• Save BFG ammo: Use for boss phases with lots of adds

🔥 The Three Sustain Tools

• Chainsaw refills ammo, flame belch refills armour, glory kill refills health - one of each on the field at all times
• Kill small demons for glory kills, never heavies; you need the health, not the style

🔫 Quickswap Combos

• Super shotgun into Ballista: the two heaviest hits in one second, then repeat
• Rocket into Precision Bolt: staggers a heavy, then headshot it while it is stunned
• Bind weapons to number keys and practise swapping midair; standing on the ground is how you die
• Meat hook pulls you to demons - use it to close distance, not to escape

👹 Boss Rules

• Marauder: he is immune until he flashes green - shoot then, never before
• Khan Maykr: clear the drones first; the boss refills from them
• Gladiator: shoot the shield until it opens, then the head
• Icon of Sin: destroy the armour pieces in order, and stay off the ground when the meteors start
