Doom Eternal weapons: how to master all the gun typesAll weapon mod challenges
All weapon mod challenges
Early on in Doom Eternal, you’ll pick up your first weapon mod. These are secondary fire effects and there are a maximum of two per weapon. You can swap them on the fly if you’ve unlocked both of them, so they can make a standard shotgun either throw sticky bombs or turn into a fully automatic shotgun. But there is a way to make them even better.

From the second mission onwards, you’ll begin to earn weapon points. They are obtained through standard combat encounters, but can also be earned via boss fights, secret encounters, and special hard arenas called “Slayer Room challenges”. ThisDoom Eternal weaponsguide will give you all the information you need such as which weapon mod perks are available, and how to get weapon mod mastery skills.

Weapon mod perks
Weapon points can be spent on upgrading your weapon mods to add a few more effects. Almost all weapons have two weapon mods available to it, though the Super Shotgun only has the Meat Hook. There is one other gun in the game, but it doesn’t have any weapon mods available (Not that it needs it).
If I have any recommendations for which perks to unlock as soon as possible, both of theHeat Blastperks for the Plasma Rifle are solid upgrades. When you get the Super Shotgun, try to nab both of the available perks for it as it gives you another way to burn enemies without having to wait for the recharge time on the flamethrower.
The following table has all of the weapon mod perks available, their effects, and their costs.I highly recommend using the search function for this table, using the weapon mod name as the search term.
Mastery skills and tasks
Once you have spent enough weapon points to earn all of a mod’s available perks, you’ll have a chance to unlock that mod’s “Mastery” skill. These are incredibly powerful effects that can, just as an example, turn a gun from a rather average machine gun into a mini-rocket launcher.
The catch is that there is a challenge you must complete before you unlock that mastery skill. Luckily, the Fortress Of Doom hub area, which incidentally you can find some hidden secrets in ourFinal Sin and Fortress Of Doomguide, has a basement prison where the Doomguy likes to keep some demons prisoner. The point is that progress to also carries over even if you die in combat or reload the checkpoint, so if you want to be really cheeky, you can blow up an Arachnotron’s turret before reloading to do it over and over.
You’re shown it after the second mission and you can come down to slay some demons as much as you wish. Here are all of the mastery skills and the challenges you need to complete to unlock them all:
