Doom Eternal offers players the chance to win patriotic cosmetics for the Doom Slayer and some demons during a holiday event on the 4th of July.
Doom Eternal has received regular updates since its release in 2020, with cosmetics being added frequently. These cosmetics include skins that the player could use during gameplay, such as the incredibly silly “Mullet Slayer” Doom Slayer skin that gives the normally serious Slayer an exposed beer belly. However, for the month of July, the developers have announced that they will host a new patriotic-themed event in Doom Eternal.
First announced through the Slayer Club on the Bethesda website, the event is appropriately titled “O Slay Can You See.” Players can earn XP in any of the Doom Eternal game modes to unlock a number of cosmetics. XP can be collected in single player mode by completing any of the game’s campaign levels, and competing in the game’s BATTLE MODE is also a viable way to level up. New cosmetics range from patriotic profile banners to a Doom Slayer mask that simply screams America.
DOOM’s Twitter account today posted a gif showing Slayer’s look and the podium which is quite patriotic. Said podium can be seen decorated with stars, stripes, and bald eagles, while the Doom Slayer greets the player. One of the most striking things about the new Doom Slayer costume is the commitment to the theme. It is adorned in red, white and blue, with the letters USA on the chest. He is then finished off with his flare-decorated hat and armor, along with Doomblade’s melee weapon that turns into a firework. This makes Doom Slayer’s arsenal of weapons more eye-catching than usual.

This event will certainly bring some laughs, as the sight of the Doom Slayer in a 4th of July themed costume is enough to clash with the game’s dark tone. Certain demonic enemies will also get US-themed skins, like Revenant and Pain Elementals. The event runs until July 29, giving players plenty of time to unlock these skins and try them out.
With Doom Eternal constantly releasing new content since its launch, it has been enjoying the useful life quite a bit. From the completion of the Ancient Gods DLC to the release of the next-gen versions of Eternal on PS5 and Xbox Series X, there is something for fans to enjoy. With the patriotic elements now added to the mix, there is sure to be some laughs every time the Doom Slayer enters a scene and fights a horde of demons with the power of fireworks.
Doom Eternal ya está disponible en PC, PS4, PS5, Stadia, Switch, Xbox One y Xbox Series X.
