Doom Eternal's Horde mode is now available thanks to a free update that's arrived for the Xbox, PlayStation, PC, and Stadia versions of the game. It pits you--this is a single-player-only mode, unfortunately--against waves of enemies, as is customary for a Horde mode, but with some wrinkles that give it a little spin on what you might expect (namely, rounds that don't involve shooting enemies). It's a good opportunity to return to one of the best shooters in recent years, particularly if you missed out on the PS5/Xbox Series X updates.
But Horde mode operates under the assumption that you've been playing Doom Eternal recently, meaning you can expect to get your ass kicked if you boot it up after taking a break from the game. If you fall into that camp, just remember that Eternal has a very distinct style of action compared to many other shooters; you need to use a wide range of weapons, target enemy weakpoints, make frequent use of your flamethrower to keep the armor flowing, and always stay on the move. There is some nuance to how you should approach Horde mode, but ultimately your success will ride on how effectively you can lay waste to demon scum.
With all of that in mind, we've assembled some Horde mode tips based on our early experience with the mode so far to help ensure you rack up some high scores. Also be sure to check out our rundown on Horde mode's milestones and rewards.
