No not use any DLC equipment. While the combat in the game is far from perfect, using the viper gear (I think that’s what it’s called) ruins it further.

DOOM Eternal is pretty damn close to perfection. The only thing that keeps it from 10/10 for me is the length of the missions, especially on harder difficulties. I feel absolutely exhausted after just one level.

Then again, maybe I’m just old.

Yeah, it does look promising but knowing Valve time it’ll release sometime in the 2030s.
