You start with just a fully perfected Combat Shotgun, and as you finish each Arena Round, a new weapon is unlocked at random. As you advance, you’ll unlock additional Milestones and a slew of new personalization options.
Players that possess any DOOM Eternal product configuration, including standalone editions of The Ancient Gods – Parts One, Part Two, and/or the Year One Pass, have access to all Horde Mode content.

At the conclusion of each run, your score is submitted to the Leaderboard.
Your grade is dependent on your performance.
Slayer Medals are presented to Slayers who achieve 400,000 points.

When it comes to rewards,
We understand that you just want to see the prizes that are now accessible in BATTLEMODE 2.0, so without further ado…
*Because certain current prizes were introduced earlier on other platforms, challenge goals for Nintendo Switch will be changed to make these things more accessible.
NEW BATTLEMODE 2.0 CONTENT AVAILABLE TO PLAY
Update 6.66 introduces the brand-new playable Demon, the Dread Knight, as well as two new BATTLEMODE arenas: Corrosion and Stronghold!
DREAD KNIGHT is a character in the game DREAD KNIGHT
The Dread Knight is ideal for Demon players that want an all-or-nothing approach to gameplay. The Dread Knight is an agile demon with a variety of attacks and formidable offensive powers, but the attacks have cooldowns that may leave you vulnerable in between uses.
ENERGY WAVE is the primary attack.
The Energy Wave is a Destroyer Blade-style energy projectile with a moderate rate of fire and moderate damage.
BERSERK
Berserk replaces Energy Wave with a high-damage melee strike with significant lurch when activated.
Berserk boosts movement speed and lowers damage absorbed by up to 60% while in use.
Every Berserk usage requires a lengthy cool down period.
SLAM ON THE GROUND
Ground Slam is an AOE attack that enables the Dread Knight to jump to a specific spot within the allowed range and cause explosive damage to the area when they collide.
A cool down time is required after each activation of Ground Slam.
QUANTUM ORB QUANTUM ORB QUANTUM ORB
Quantum Orb is a projectile strike that does moderate damage and may be redirected in flight by using the Dread Knight’s teleport ability.
The Quantum Orb has a cooldown after each use, which is reduced if the teleport ability is not used.
Upgrades in the Second Round
FEROCITY
Your Vitality Every time the Wave projectile strikes the Slayer, it decreases Berserk’s cooldown.
ENSHROUD
Instead of doing damage, Ground Slam generates a smoke cloud that offers temporary invisibility.
NEW ARENAS FOR BATTLEMODE 2.0
Corrosion is a long-forgotten stronghold devastated by a horrible swamp. Players will participate in furious firefights as they traverse the outer Battlements and ambush deep into the Catacombs. The Courtyard serves as the arena’s focal point, providing protection and movement choices. In this new arena Stronghold lies in the heart of Hell, expect a high-octane fight between the Demon Players and DOOM Slayer. The setting lends itself to players who can continuously moving between the many strata of the arena, acting as both a defensive position and a processing facility that helps feed the Dark Lord’s warmachine. Demons and Slayers will compete over the important cover provided by the Fuel Overflow area. In our most competitive BATTLEMODE map to date, players that master navigating between the bottom and top levels will excel.
CHANGES TO THE SLAYER CAMPAIGN AND BATTLEMODE 2.0

BATTLEMODE 2.0 KNOWN ISSUES
The “Smoke Bomb” interface element will only be half filled when a Mancubus Player spawns at the start of a game. The Smoke Bomb fires properly, thus this is a display problem.
When the Slayer’s Shotgun & Zombie models are in the “Rumble Pack” stance, they may vanish from the podium when a text chat message is opened.
Horde Mode is a game mode that allows you to play
The “Reinvent the Weapon Wheel” Horde Mode Milestone does not properly grant the icon element of the prize.
