NEW WORLD RECORDS in Doom Eternal and its add-ons

On the 10th of January 2023 a Ukrainian player Absolutemassive established a NEW WORLD RECORD in Doom Eternal in the category 100%/Restricted/Ultra-Nightmare, which is absolutely incredible, because it's one of the hardest things to do in DE! 🔥 The run was done in 1:43:05.18 LRT.

P. S. Obviously, it wasn't yesterday, but as of 2023.03.01, this is the current world record in this combination of categories.

Thank you, I only got enough at the early game to get through it on Ultra Nightmare once and then abandon it forever, which is to say I was terrible at it. Watching someone absolutely dismantle it is eye-opening. I didn't even think to try this PB-melee-PB-melee thing he does.

Glad it was helpful, I hope it will motivate you to not give up and inspire to try some further improvements!

EDIT: Here is the link for 4 new world records in different categories in The Ancient Gods - Part One:

I will be very thankful if someone from the moderators joins these topics together by inserting that post into this thread.

haw, I doubt I'll ever see the early game again. After I beat the campaign on ultra nm the best feeling was relief that I'll never have to play without meat hook ever again haha. I honestly think Doom:E without meathook is like a 7.5 game instead of like a 9.5/10. Kind of awesome that 30 years later, the SSG is still the most fun weapon in gaming

But it's shocking to see how they make a mockery of fights I had to be careful on, nor does he seem bothered to be sitting at 20 life with alot of fighting to go. I was really unprepared for what such powerhouse gameplay looks like. Almost like some insane auto-turret or something

Also makes me curious what monitor he plays on to be at 250 fps? Most are 240? Or maybe he just picked that number? I can't remember if you can or not. I play on that 280 fps alienware but often miss my old 4k TV and rtx3070 110 fps. Hell knights and barons were much less obtrusive at that fps
