Unlock Helpful Mods, Runes, & Perks
While some of the mods, runes, and perks in Doom Eternal might not seem particularly useful from their descriptions, some of them are must unlocks.
The runes that focus on Glory Killing, increasing how long enemies stay staggered for and how far away you can start the animation from, are vital to unlock early on as it makes getting health pickups a lot easier.
Also, focus on unlocking the mastery on your favorite Weapon Mods. Our favorite were the Heat Blast on the Plasma Rifle and the Sticky Bombs on the Heavy Cannon, both of which become extremely powerful when fully upgraded.
The Heat Blast can get you out of trouble, and when Mastered, boosts the damage of the Plasma Rifle standard rounds for a few seconds after use. It’s incredibly useful against the tough enemies in the missions towards the end of the game.
Also, when you’ve unlocked everything that you think might aid your combat skills, don’t forget about them. When the speed of the action is at its max, they can be easy to ignore, but don’t, they can really make the difference.
