Not long after Doom Eternal came out, there were gamers who set a record of breaking the island in 40 minutes

​

In spite of Doom Eternal appeared only 10 days ago but results speedrun The first game of the game is very impressive. The current record speedrun time belongs to Distortion2 with 39 minutes and 50 seconds (excluding screen time). Doom Eternal has a typical playtime of 15 hours.

A few things to note: this is not a glitchless run (the race does not take advantage of the glitch error). The speedrunner in this case always show the level in every arena with the highest difficulty. While they have impressive control skills, weapon switching, and high accuracy in aiming, this is Doom Eternal, where the environment has a lot of cracks in each level. Most of the races above rely on flying through each level and using glitches in weapons to make the most difficult enemies “easy to eat”.

Readers can follow the following timelines to admire some of Distortion2’s impressive feats.
1:36 – a glitch in the weapon wheel that “launched” Distortion2 into the sky, flying through quite a few levels.
13:06 – Distortion2 jumps a few times and completes Cultist Base easily.
18:34 – After using the chainsaw to double the Doomguy, the ballista propels Distortion2 through the forbidden space of the Super Gore Nest, skipping a series of levels with an impressive leap.
23:30 – Distortion2 takes out the Marauder with a weapon glitch that greatly increases the damage of the chain gun’s rockets.
35:30 – Nekravol is quite beautiful when viewed from above.
38:31 – Distortion2 glides past Urdak and directly to the final boss.

The speedrun above is just the beginning of countless races to come. Distortion2 says its record is pretty good, other speedrunners will invent new tricks and shorten the race time. If you don’t like speedruns that take advantage of the glitch, you can watch DraQu’s speedrun. He completed Doom Eternal in Ultra-Nightmare mode in about five and a half hours without taking advantage of the glitch.​
