DOOM Eternal is an FPS that embraces old school mechanics such as picking up health, power-ups, and having Extra Lives. One of the most entertaining additions is Cheat Codes, which can alter the game in fun, unique ways. These have the added benefit of not disabling trophies/achievements, which makes completing activities such as Slayer Gates much easier. However, Cheat Codes can’t be used right away, as you need to actually discover them in each mission. Players must beat a level first before they can use Cheat Codes on it.

Cheat Codes are classified as Secrets, which are marked as white question marks on your map. These are typically hidden throughout a mission in hard to reach locations or behind the semi-elaborate puzzles you’ll need to solve. We suggest picking up the Item Classifier suit upgrade as soon as possible. This allows you to see the location of every Secret on your map, making it far easier to locate all the Cheat Codes.
You’ll know when you’ve found one because it will be on a Floppy Disc with the name of the code on it. Since there’s no other way to obtain Cheat Codes, it’s worth taking the extra few minutes to thoroughly explore each room.
Here are the Cheat Codes in DOOM Eternal:
- Activate All Cheat Codes – All cheat codes are activated

Now that you have all these cheat codes how do you activate them? To turn on a cheat code, head to the Fortress of Doom and go to the Mission Select. From here you can add or remove cheat codes. You can also turn on cheat does via the Main Menu’s Mission Select screen by hitting Square (PS4)/X (Xbox One). Remember, these will only be active after you beat a level, so don’t count on them during your first playthrough.
