DOOM ETERNAL is all about managing resource. The massive amount of enemies you as the player fights may seem unfair and unreasonably difficult at first, but with closer consideration of how the mechanics are designed, this is all according to plan.

Past its brutish and violent gameplay, there is actually quite a bit of nuance to mastering this video game. Due to the constant pressure the player faces during gameaplay, health, armor, and ammo are obviously challenged and constantly deplete, forcing the player to get used to pulling their punches for GLORY KILLS, using their FLAME BELCH at the right opportunities, and their CHAINSAW to stay stocked up.

Very gruesome death and destruction upon demons that this website does not allow.

With the most fundamental resources already depleting and requiring attention, immediately a challenge is evident for the player to overcome; should they get used to this challenge, tougher enemies become present and constitute their managing of even more resources to effectively take them down.

WEAPON MODS are often intracately associated with their long wind-ups, timers, or monstrous consumption of ammunition.

The REMOTE DETONATION for the rocket launcher is excellent for briefly faltering targets like the CYBER MANCUBUS for an effective melee attack, but the player must keep in mind which targets have been faltered already, due to their resistance toward it after the first. The MEATHOOK for the super shotgun is an excellent method to quickly swing out of danger, but runs on a timer that restricts the player from constantly using it. The PRECISION SHOT for the heavy cannon is a gateway to powerful weapon switching that surpasses the long reloads of stronger weapons.

Where do the guns come from?

SUIT LAUNCHERS, while limited to two types, are still extremely effective at creating opening for the player to do excellent damage.

Why freeze them to death when you could cover them in ice, to shoot them yourself?

The FRAG GRENADE's upgrades contain a vital improvement which guarantees a falter on any targets who are caught within its blast radius, prompting a riskless attack by the player. The ICE BOMB expands upon opportune striking moments, completely freezing enemies for longer, rendering them unable to retaliate and even take bonus damage after later upgrades.
