How To Get The Free Doom: The Dark Ages Butcher Skin

Butcher Skin is a cosmetic armor set for the Doom Slayer in Doom: The Dark Ages. It replaces the standard-issue military-green armor with a steel-gray, battered-looking suit covered in plenty of blood splattered all over.

This skin brings out the gory, medieval feel of the game and turns your Slayer into an actual battle-hardened soldier.

How to Get the Butcher Skin for Free

Unlocking the Butcher Skin is simple and does not require you to achieve anything in the game or purchase it. Here’s how to get it:

1. Create or Log In to Your Bethesda.net Account

Ensure that you have a Bethesda.net account. If you don’t have one, create one on Bethesda.net.

2. Link Your Gaming Platform

After logging in, proceed to the “Linked Accounts” section of your Bethesda.net profile options. There, link the account on which you play Doom: The Dark Ages (e.g., Steam, Xbox, PlayStation).

3. Launch Doom: The Dark Ages

With your accounts linked, launch the game. The Butcher Skin will be available as one of your cosmetics automatically.

4. Equip the Butcher Skin

Go to the “Extras” option on the game’s main menu and choose “Slayer Skins.” There, you can enable the Butcher Skin.

If you’ve already linked your accounts before playing the game, the skin will be enabled the moment you launch it. If not, linking your accounts as above will enable access to the skin.

Why You Should Wear the Butcher Skin

The Butcher Skin is more than just a cosmetic modification; it exposes you to a deeper gaming experience by pulling you in further into Doom: The Dark Ages’ gothic, medieval setting. The bloodied armor represents the incessant combat your Slayer endures, giving you a sense of realism to your game.

Also, it’s a free bonus for just linking your Bethesda.net account, so it’s an easy way to personalize your character without needing to do anything additional. That is: it just looks fantastic!

Other Slayer Skins and Customizations

While the Butcher Skin is a fantastic free feature, Doom: The Dark Ages has some other skins and customization concepts. There are more, but these are a few:

• Void Doom Slayer Skin: Included with pre-order purchases in any edition.
• Divinity Skin Pack: Bundled with Premium and Collector’s Editions, featuring special skins for the Slayer, his dragon, and Atlan mech.
• Verdant Skin: You need to log in/create an NVIDIA account, sign up for the GeForce rewards program, download, install, start, and log into the NVIDIA App on a PC/laptop through a GeForce GTX 10 Series (latest GPU). Navigate to the Redeem section of the app, select the DOOM: The Dark Ages skin reward, and enter the code on bethesda.net. Note, this one is limited and comes out in waves, so wait patiently, or ask someone else to provide you a code!
• Nightmare Skin: You get it once you’ve beaten the game on ANY difficulty level, even on Aspiring Slayer.
• Reverent Skin: Once you’ve beaten the game on Pandemonium difficulty.
• Conqueror Skin: You’ll have to beat the game on Ultra-Nightmare difficulty. Good luck!

These additional skins provide you with more options to personalize your Slayer according to your desire, or just if you plain want them.
