To begin the Doom Easter egg you need to find a certain collectible hidden across the map. This collectible is Black Ducks. There are 5 Black Ducks to find in the various territories of the game. The locations of the 5 Black Ducks are as follows:

  1. VNC Tower room.
  2. Lower Dam Ayer Moor.
  3. Mount Lucid Observatory guard tower.
  4. Underwater car in The Wharf.
  5. Northwest of Houndfield territory.

For more specifics on the exact locations of each check out our Black Ducks guide for details. Regardless of how you find them grab all 5 then make your way to the VNC Tower.

Go to the Altar Room

In the VNC Tower call the elevator and use it to go to the Basement. Swim through the water and continue through the door to reach a second elevator that has a bunch of candles around it. Use the elevator here to go to 0. This takes you down to the altar room. Inside this room place the 5 Black Ducks you collected on the 5 tables around the center altar.

You will notice there are electrical stations at each of the tables. To get the Doom weapon you need to attach the electrical cables to make a pentagram. This image above shows you how that looks. The easiest method is to grab the cable and turn directly around. Attach it to the box on the opposite side of the room.

Complete the Hangar Combat Challenge

Once the electricity is connected a boomstick will appear in the center of the room. Approach it to trigger a combat challenge. The combat challenge is a nod to Doom. The game mode tasks you with competing in a pixelated level. In this level you need to collect crystals hidden throughout. There are three possible medals you can unlock:

  1. Gold – 5 Crystals.
  2. Silver – 4 Crystals.
  3. Bronze – 3 Crystals.

You can replay this combat challenges as much as you’d like to get the medals. Each medal earned rewards you with Combat XP. Within the level you can also find the Mistress Machete + Dying Force blueprints. This is just one of many secrets hidden throughout the game.

Important: Do not teleport out of the altar area. You currently cannot go back to this location if you do.

    Omg people. THE PIXELATION IS ON PURPOSE!!! DUH. How did you don’t understand that. The entire purpose of the room is an Ode to DOOM. Hence the developers letter in the
    room SPECIFICALLY to the DOOM creators by name!!! The pixelation is from doom!!! That’s the point!!! Why they call it THE DOOM ROOM. Are y’all really that young you have never seen doom? Or are you just stupid?

    I can not finish the power attachments because the last line has no power to hook it into and there’s nothing on the table to get to make it have power. Can anyone tell me why that is?

      Same here with the pixelated situation. But you can get back in the elevator if you stand there and invite someone like a friend from online. It’ll trigger it to open. But still pixelated and unusable for me. Shame
