General information

Individual difficulty levels
In Doom Eternal, you can choose from six available difficulty levels.
I want to live
This is the lowest difficulty level. By selecting this option, you will make your playthrough easier. Opponents will attack you less often, causing less damage. In addition, you will get more health and ammunition.
Hurt me plenty
This level of difficulty offers more frequent fights with opponents. Your biggest problem will be a small amount of health. However, over time, you will learn to use any mechanics available in the game, and this will no longer cause you problems.
Ultra-Violence
This is a level for players who have experience in similar games. At this level, your enemies will deal you powerful damage. You need to find out where they have weaknesses, how to kill them and collect all possible improvements.
Nightmare
This level requires your full attention and experience. You must carefully explore all the stages and tactically approach any opponents who attack you. This level of difficulty will not forgive you any mistakes.
Ultranightmare
This is a level that differs from the nightmare only in one characteristic. If you die, you lose everything. You can only save the game after completing the mission.
Extra life mode
Death after the loss of all lives means the end of the game.
For this mode, you can choose a level of difficulty-from "I don't want to die" to "nightmare".
