Onslaught



Onslaught is a powerup which occurs in Doom Eternal, taking the form of a flaming purple sphere with a skull inside. Just like the quad damage item from Doom (2016), this powerup multiplies all damage the player inflicts by four; when fired, weapons will also play a sound effect derived from Quake's quad damage item.

The powerup lasts for ten seconds once collected, and while active the player's weapons glow purple and a purple haze appears at the corners of the HUD.

Tactical analysis
Onslaught allows even the strongest opponents, such as tyrants, to be killed with far less ammunition. Because it only lasts for ten seconds, it should be saved until it is really needed and the player knows which demons to prioritize.

Cheat code
The Onslaught cheat code can be found in the Mars Core level; when activated it grants a permanent Onslaught effect for the entire level. Powerups cannot be picked up while this cheat is active.
