Tips for achieving top 100 on the leaderboard in Horde Mode

[AtomIsTired]

There is a collectible for achieving that, and no matter how hard I try, I never manage to scrap top 100 at the end of the season. Any help would be greatly appreciated :D

You could always use something like Cheat Engine, but that'd ruin the fun for everyone else and your scores would stick out like a sore thumb on account of their sheer impossibility. Plus you're likely to end up on a ban list of some sort if you do that.

So what else do you think I could do to increase my score (in the gameplay sense)?

I haven't actually played Horde mode in Doom Eternal, so I'm afraid I can't help. YouTube strategy guide videos are probably your best bet.

There is?

 

Anyways, I would recommend watching Horde Mode gameplay by players who achieved Slayer rankings and try to learn from their playstyle to see the difference between what you're doing and what they are. Here's a few videos from searching:

Also, I would recommend beating the main campaign, DLCs, and Master Levels on Ultra-Nightmare if you haven't already - Horde Mode is tough and one of the last things they added to the game, so it's recommended you master the gameplay loop before trying to hit top 100. And of course, do a lot of play and practice of Horde Mode itself - you'll eventually improve with time by slowly memorizing what works and what doesn't. For example, knowing when to pick up multipliers and how to score perfectly on the time trial sections.

 

Good luck with it.

Thanks a lot :D I already have beaten everything on UN already, I just don't optimize the points enough I suppose. ITYTD HMP and UV were all a cakewalk, but NM is a lot harder to get top 100, because the leaderboards are filled with pros :P
