Im late to the show, got a ps5 and only now i got doom eternal, having loads of fun since i dont know how long. My question is, because i do not want to lower the difficulty ( and i think i picked up third? ultra violence? ) and im getting wrecked at the first optional thingy where if “you solve it” youll get three weapon upgrade points. Forgot the name, purple thing you need to find a key first to open.
EVERYONE IS SO DAMN FAST! On which enemies should i concentrate, which ones should i leave for glory kills and ammo?

My general advice is this:
In Doom Eternal you need to keep running all the time. Enemies will have a harder time hitting you that way. Utilize the entire arena! If you stay in the same spot for too long you will get flanked and put down quickly.
You also need to be mindful of your ammo usage. Don’t waste too much on it on zombies, as killing zombies won’t contribute to the progression of the arena fight, and they’re not that much of a big threat. The main purpose of zombies is to be ammo piñatas.
And lastly, if you’re struggling with the slayer gates (as these purple things are called), you can just skip them and return once you’re more comfortable with the game. I didn’t finish most of them on my first play through (on ultra violence).
