Do Upgrades Carry Over to DLC DOOM Eternal?

DOOM Eternal has been praised for its high-octane gameplay and intense combat. But how do the upgrades work within the game, particularly with regards to the DLC?
Carrying Over Upgrades to DLC DOOM Eternal
The major point of difference here is that both DLCs, Ancient Gods Part One and Part Two, start the player with every upgrade, weapon, and perk unlocked. This means that players don’t have to start from scratch and can simply dive into the DLC campaigns with their existing knowledge and skills.
DOOM Eternal’s Upgrade System: A Brief Overview
In DOOM Eternal, there are two main categories of upgrades: Says and Combat Enhancements. Says, which include armor sets and abilities, are primarily tied to the player’s Health and Resistances, while Combat Enhancements, like weapon and melee upgrades**, focus on increasing damage and effectiveness in combat.
- Says (Armor Sets and Abilities) are earned through progression in the game and are linked to the player’s Health and Resistances.
- Combat Enhancements are earned through combat, killed enemies, and secrets unlocked.
DLC Impact on Upgrades
Within the DLC campaigns, it’s worth noting that certain upgrades, such as Combat Enhancements, will persist across playthroughs within the same DLC campaign, but may not transfer directly to the main game.
- Ancient Gods Part One focuses heavily on upgrading the player’s abilities, making the enemies more formidable and providing fresh challenges.
- Ancient Gods Part Two, on the other hand, introduces new enemies and tactics, as well as incorporating some of the previously established upgrades from Part One, making the gameplay experience quite different.
Will All Upgrades Carry Over?
To answer this, let’s take a look at what does and what doesn’t carry over. Here’s a table showing the compatibility of various upgrade types across playthroughs:
| Upgrade Type | Main Game | DLC Campains | Transfer Across DLCS |
|---|---|---|---|
| Says | No | Carry over within DLC campaigns. | No transfer to the main game. |
| Combat Enhancements | Partial | Partial – some upgrades carry over to the next DLC campaign; others are unique to specific campaigns. | Some limited transfer to the main game. |
| Primary Weapons | Partial – some primary weapons can be carried over; others need to be re-unlocked | Partial – some primary weapons can be carried over from the main game to DLCS. | No carry over from DLCS back to the main game |
Key Takeaways:
- Upgrades like Says, which include armor sets and abilities, don’t carry over to the DLC campaigns, and then they don’t transfer to the main game.
- Some Combat Enhancements will transfer across DLC campaigns, and some limited upgrades can return to the main game; however, these won’t carry over from the main game to DLCS without re-unlocking.
As you venture into DOOM Eternal’s DLC, whether it’s Ancient Gods Part One or Part Two, keep in mind that these fresh challenges come with the rewards of upgrading your arsenal while exploring the dark world. But don’t worry; whatever upgrades you’ve unlocked thus far will still be part of your arsenal.
Conclusion
DOOM Eternal’s DLCs provide players with an immersive and punishing experience that complements the main game’s story, while introducing new mechanics to keep things fresh and thrilling. Upgrades in DLC DOOM Eternal have become a significant part of player strategy and satisfaction, helping to build on the skills and expertise honed throughout the main campaign.
