How Challenges Work in DOOM: The Dark Ages

Challenges typically activate at the start of each stage (from Chapter 4 onward). However, some are weapon- or rune-specific, only appearing once you’ve unlocked the required gear.

Rewards include:

• Gold – used to unlock upgrades.
• Rubies – rare currency for powerful enhancements.
• Reverent Skins – unique cosmetic weapon skins for your arsenal.

Final Tips

• Replay chapters if you miss a challenge, you’ll keep progress and earn rewards.
• Prioritize weapon variety to ensure challenge completion.
• Exploration is key: some secrets and objectives are hidden in off-path areas.

Whether you're a completionist or just after cool cosmetics, DOOM: The Dark Ages’ challenge system makes every level feel fresh and rewarding.
