Doom secrets, collectibles guide: Where to find all hidden secrets, plus Doom Switch differences explained Where to find all those hidden objects, whether on PC, console or Switch. Guide by Mat Hall Contributor Updated on 8 Dec 2020 2016 offered a very pleasant surprise - after a disappointing multiplayer beta, the Doom campaign is so much better than we originally feared. It's that it's frankly been a long time since we had a straight-up, old-school first-person shooter campaign with this much meat on its bones. It may not be a huge game, but it's got a lot to it, and that includes a plethora of Doom secrets, collectibles, easter eggs, and well-hidden upgrades. Here we introduce you to our pages to help you locate every classic Doom level, Doomguy model collectible, Automap Station, Field Drone, Elite Guard, Rune Trial, Argent Cell, and more besides. Plus, with the release of the new Switch version, a run down of the Doom Switch differences you can expect. Spoilers - it's very similar to the PC and console versions, so all our guides below will work just fine. DF Retro: Doom - Every Console Port Tested and Analysed! Our Doom secrets collectables guides So what are you looking out for? Doomguy collectibles are just cute little extras which will get you an Achievement/Trophy called "Every Nook and Cranny". The classic Doom levels are recreations of some of the great level designs of past Doom games which are a pure hit of nostalgia. But there's more to many of these hidden secrets than pure completism or curiosity; there are gameplay benefits, too. Rune Trials, meanwhile, unlock permanent perks for your character. Field Drones unlock powerful weapon mods. Argent Cells upgrade your health, armour or ammo capacity. Automap Stations unlock the full map for each level, and can help you chase down all the other upgrades and collectibles. Elite Guard corpses reward you with Praetor Points that upgrade your armour. They're all well worth seeking out if you want to stretch your character's capabilities to the fullest.
