From the time the hype train departed the station, the developers of Doom Eternal made it clear that weapon mods are an essential part of the game because of how limited ammo is, you can’t just rely on a single weapon anymore like you could with the Pistol in Doom 2016. But what if you wanted to keep your guns as basic as possible? Can You Beat Doom Eternal Without Any Weapon Upgrades?

Can You Beat Doom Eternal Without Any Weapon Upgrades? (in text form)
Upon starting Doom Eternal, you’ll be faced with the first and only choice you’ll have to make throughout this entire nightmare, whether to play on baby mode or super baby mode. I, being the weakling I am, chose to play on Ultra Baby mode. The helmet in the picture is close to the one I wear. The brief intro cinematic panned in from ing space, Doom Guy retrieved his little pea shooter that isn’t a Pistol, Doom Eternal, and the game begins. Right out the gate, it’s revealed that our goal is to kill 3 Hell Priests to stop the invasion of Earth.
Fun fact: At this point, I was thinking this would be a Combat Shotgun only playthrough, which was why I restarted the mission after the first Glory Kill. I also noticed that something about the game felt off, like floaty or vague and loose like a good stirring wheel. The chained saw joined the party in style by forcing itself to be used, thus ending the Combat Shotgun only playthrough and birthing the No Weapon Upgrades challenge. Not even 12 minutes in and Todd Howard required me to abuse the robot friend and acquire a weapon mod.
The good news is that from what I know about them, which isn’t much since I never used them, the first mods you’ll get for any weapon give it some unique ability or feature instead of just buffing it. For the purposes of this challenge, it’s beneficial that you can obtain the weapon mods and choose to not use them. Some time later I would learn that you can unequip the mods in the menu to completely remove the possibility that you’ll accidentally use them. Then I squeezed the head off a king, got a glimpse at a wedding, and saw the most absolute of a unit anyone has ever laid their eyes on.
For those of you who are unfamiliar with this year’s Animal Crossing, here’s how it works. You run through an area, clear out an arena full of demons, do some platforming, rinse for 20 seconds, and repeat. And because for once in my life I can actually use multiple weapons in a Doom game, the first level wasn’t terrible. I started noticing rather early that melee-ing the pathetic weaklings didn’t automatically stagger them like it did last year, also that I suck at platforming.
