Doom Eternal: How To Personalize Your Slayer Skins

Doom Eternal allows the player to customize the skin of the Doom Slayer. This guide will help players personalize their Doom Eternal experience by informing them how to change their skins. Doom Eternal is one of the most violent video games to release within the last years. The game requires the player to go around, slicing the heads off of demons, exploding planets, and removing the demon threat during an invasion of Earth by force. The game has an extremely violent tone from the graphical style to even the music. The music blares heavy metal and dubstep all throughout the soundtrack. It is fitting for a game like this and matches the aesthetic perfectly. Although, there are certain unlockables that the player can find throughout the campaign to help customize the experience for themselves. The Doom Slayer’s original skin is a gritty reflection of the world around him, but if the player desires, they can dress him up to look like a pretty unicorn. This is more for the player’s enjoyment than anything, as other easter eggs are hidden all around the game including secret vinyl records of previous entries of the series and toys of the creatures the Doom Slayer is defeating. This guide will help players learn what it takes to customize the Doom Slayers skin in Doom Eternal.

The game has a multitude of ways to unlock a variety of skins for the Doom Slayer. Outside of the just the main campaign in which players can find skins hidden throughout the levels, the player can also unlock skins through the BATTLEMODE, the online multiplayer mode of the game. Here players can take the role of a Doom Slayer or one of the demons he is trying to defeat. The neat addition to these skins is no matter where the player unlocks them, be it a single-player or multiplayer, the player can use the unlocked skins in any of these game modes. Meaning skins unlocked in multiplayer can be used in single-player, and vice versa. Players can also unlock new skins by connecting to special clubs like Bethesda or by using Twitch Prime. Players were also rewarded with special skins for preordering the game early or by picking up its deluxe edition. This guide will help players flex their new cosmetics in Doom Eternal.

Personalizing Skins in Doom Eternal

When booting up the game, the player can scroll down to the Customize tab. Here, the player will have the ability to choose several characters for customizing their skin.

• Slayer
• Archvile
• Mancubus
• Maruader
• Pain Elemental
• Revenant

The player will also have the option to change their player badge as well. The Slayer has the most options in the game, allowing him not only to change his armor skin but also the podium he stands on when queuing up for a multiplayer match, the skin of his weapons, how he stands on his podium, a special intro when the game begins, and a victory pose. In single-player while exploring the Fortress of Doom, outfits will be on display. Interact with them to change the single-player design of the Doom Slayer. Here is the list of the available Doom Slayer skins and how to unlock them.

• Astro: Acquire All The Runes
• Crimson: Clear Mission 8 of the story.
• Midnight: Complete the main campaign
• Classic Doom Marine: Unlock in the Fortress of Doom
• Demonic Slayer: Comes bundled with the deluxe edition
• Praetor: Unlock in the Fortress of Doom
• Sentinel: Unlock in the Fortress of Doom
• Ember: Reach Level 10 of Series 1
• Zombie Slayer: Join The Online Slayers Club
• Doomicorn: Link your Twitch account to your Bethesda account

Here is the list of all available enemy skins.

• Red Rage (Mancubus): Reach Level 4 of Series 1
• Inferno Lord (Marauder): Reach Level 7 of Series 1
• DOOT! (Revenant): Players must have preordered the game

Here is the list of all available weapon skins.

• Rune-Scared: Purchase the deluxe edition
• Caution: Purchase the deluxe edition

Lastly, there are profile icons that can be unlocked only by purchasing special editions. More content will be available as more seasons come and go in the game. Considering the game just released, it may be a while before new additions are added to Doom Eternal. Doom Eternal has a good taste in humor when it comes to its skins. Considering that the player can dress the Doom Slayer, one of the most feared entities in the universe, in a bright white and pink unicorn skin, shows the more silly side of the game. Doom Eternal is the story of the Doom Slayer’s mission to save the Earth from the denizens of Hell and an alien species known as the Maykr. The Maykr are harvesting the souls of humans, breaking their spirits and using them as an energy source for various planets across the universe. The Doom Slayer is on one mission, ignoring and destroying every enemy that comes in his way.

The story is simple but respectable as it carries the game forward instead of just being a mindless shooter where players enter room after room without any real objective. The franchise was brought back from the dead back in 2016 by Bethesda, who released Doom, a completely reimagined take on the historic franchise. Bethesda is the company behind major blockbuster franchises like The Elder Scrolls and Fallout. The Doom series fits nicely amongst their collection of titles and even stands on its own merits. Doom Eternal released with critical and commercial success, regardless of the impending situation happening around the world currently. It also released alongside Animal Crossing New Horizons, Nintendo’s animal life simulator. Due to these games releasing on the same day, fans created memes bringing the Doom Slayer into the world of Animal Crossing and Isabelle, a veteran character of the Animal Crossing franchise, into the demon-slaying realm of Doom. While this metric cannot be measured for sure, due to the collaboration from fans, it most likely piqued the interest of players who were looking into these titles before, potentially channeling it into sales. Doom Eternal is currently one of the best games to release in 2020.

Doom Eternal is available now on PS4, Nintendo Switch, Google Stadia, Xbox One, and PC.
