Story
The plot follows the Assault on Armaros Station campaign, which was created specifically for this event. A party of five demons (a pain elemental, arch-vile, revenant, mancubus, and marauder) invade the ARC Armaros Station at the command of the Hell priest Deag Grav with instructions to destroy an experimental weapon at the facility and assassinate the ARC leader Samuel Hayden.

The demons are initially successful in the campaign and reach Hayden's command room, but Hayden activates an experimental ARC energy weapon known as the Argent Hammer. Given limited time to destroy the machinery before it activates, the demons only succeed in partially disabling it. It ultimately discharges, weakening the demon players such that all their subsequent rolls have disadvantage.

The Doom Slayer suddenly arrives to defend Hayden, crashing into the facility in a ship. The demons panic and initially flee. However, the demons manage to inflict critical damage on Samuel Hayden before he can teleport away, leaving him in a condition similar to that in which he is found in-game. The entire facility collapses, killing the demon players and temporarily trapping the Doom Slayer in its rubble. Darin De Paul, Hayden's voice actor, remarked that this outcome could be considered semi-canonical.
