Doom Eternal is already an intense and fun experience but if you’re looking to make it even zanier, cheat codes might be for you. You can change the id Software-developed game in several ways by using cheats and we’ve got the lot of them for you to try out.

Using cheat codes is always a fun way to expand on a game and make it potentially more fun, especially for a second (or third) playthrough. In this over-the-top shooter, however, cheat codes are items that you can find in-game. You need to find them and unlock them before you can use them.

There are cheats that give you infinite extra lives, unlock all Praetor Suit Perks, and there’s even one that has an invisible audience cheering you and your play. It’s up to you to find them before you use them.

Thankfully, we know where the Doom Eternal cheat code locations are and what they all do. Read on to find out what all of the cheat codes in the game do, how to use them, and where to find them.

How to use cheats in Doom Eternal

To use cheats in Doom Eternal you need to unlock them first (more on that below) and then activate them in Mission Select or on the main menu. To open the cheat code menu, you’ll need to either press Square, X, or R while on the Mission Select screen or find the option on the main menu. If you can’t find the option, it means you haven’t yet unlocked any cheats.

You can only use cheats on missions you have already completed. This means that using cheats will be a great way to replay missions and find missing collectables. They won’t stop you from earning any achievements/trophies, either. Unfortunately, all Slayer Gates will be disabled with just one cheat activated.

All Doom Eternal cheats and where to find them

In total, there are 15 cheat codes to find in Doom Eternal. 12 of them can be found as collectable items within missions or in your central hub, The Fortress of Doom. They will appear as question marks on the map, and three of them will unlock after you have completed different aspects of the game.

Unlocking each cheat code will require knowing where they are and how to get there (more often than not you’ll have to pull off some slick platforming trick or punch through a breakable wall). Fortunately, this fantastic video from MKIceAndFire on YouTube shows you exactly where each Doom Eternal cheat code location is and how to get there. It also shows us gameplay of all the cheat codes activated. Check it out below:
