Doom Eternal doesn’t offer a run-of-the-mill death match for its multiplayer, instead providing an asymmetrical 2v1 spin dubbed Battlemode. If you’re like most players, you’re probably looking to dive into it as soon as possible, which is why we’re here to walk you through how to play the Battlemode multiplayer in Doom Eternal.
How to Play Battle Mode Multiplayer in Doom Eternal
Starting Doom Eternal’s Battlemode is a fairly straight-forward process.
From the main menu, scroll down to the Battlemode option and select it with the X Button on PlayStation 4 or the A Button on the Xbox One. The game will then recommend you play through the campaign to a certain point before proceeding into the mode.
You can choose to either back out and complete the story up to the point it recommends, or – if you’d rather get straight to the multiplayer – proceed forward anyway.
This will take you to the mode’s main menu, where you’ll be walked through a tutorial for how to play as the mode’s Demons. Completing it will take a few minutes, and once you’re done, you can freely dive into Battlemode so long as the game has fully downloaded every available update and you have an active PlayStation Plus or Xbox Live account.
Time needed: 7 minutes
