You Can Pimp Out DOOM Slayer Like a Pink Unicorn, as Long as You Have Twitch Prime
A while back it was revealed that DOOM Eternal will not be featuring any microtransactions or loot boxes, it will only feature cosmetic items to make your Slayer “look cool”, unlockable in-game, and now we’ve got our first taste of what these in-game cosmetics will look like.
As revealed in a recent trailer by Bethesda, we can style and profile our Doom Slayer to our demon heart’s content from a retro skin, worn and battered armour, burning flames to a pink winged unicorn! Even though I don’t know how much of Doom Slayer we’ll see during the campaign, other than his arms and legs in first-person, as well as full bodied during a cut-scene, I’m looking forward to the kind of skins that we’ll be able to unlock, at the badass Doom Slayers expense. The skins can be used in both the singleplayer campaign and the multiplayer modes too.
However, while Bethesda has stated that DOOM Eternal will feature any microtransactions or loot boxes, as skins and other items will be unlockable simply by playing the game, that hasn’t ruled out being able to unlock certain content via out-sourced powers that be, and one such example is Twitch Prime.
The Twitch Prime deal includes DOOMicorn Slayer Master Collection, which is sadly the only way to access the quite lovely DOOMicorn Slayer Skin by linking your Bethesda.net account to your Twitch Prime account. However, the DOOMicorn Slayer Master Collection also includes a whole host of other content, as detail below:
- ‘DOOMicorn’ Slayer Skin
- ‘Purple Pony’ Skin Variant
- ‘Night-mare’ Skin Variant
- ‘Magic Meadow’ Base Podium
- ‘For Those Who Dare to Dream!’ Maxed-Out Podium
- ‘Clip Clop’ Stance Animation
- ‘Haymaker’ Intro Animation
- ‘Horsing Around’ Victory Animation
- ‘Love Conquers All’ Player Icon
- ‘Super Sparkle Slayer’ Nameplate & Title
Thankfully, even if you might not have a Twitch Prime account to link to, DOOM Eternal will still offering plenty of unlockables to acquire in-game. But should you have a family or friend that has a an Amazon Prime account, that will never play DOOM Eternal, it might be worth asking them for their login details, so that you can get your grubby mitts on the DOOMicorn Slayer Master Collection.
Are you looking forward to playing DOOM Eternal as much as we are? Let us know across our social media channels. DOOM Eternal will release for PC, PlayStation 4 and Xbox One on March 20th, then later in the year for the Nintendo Switch.
