📋 About This Mod

With this mod - Flaming Meathook and Flame Belch are disabled. You cannot set the demons on fire. To get armor, simply kill the demon as you normally do. A kill with weapons/chainsaw will drop 6 or 10 armor. A glory kill/crucible kill will drop 20 or 30 armor.

Choose the 6 armor with weapon kills and 20 with glory kills version if you are playing on lower difficulties or you want a challenge. Choose the 10 and 30 version for playing on Nightmare or for generally easier gameplay (not everyone can be a sweatlord, after all).

Combine with my other mod Practically Infinite Ammo for even greater simplified gameplay as you don't have to worry about chainsawing for ammo. With both combined, you can completely focus on just killing the demons and not have to bother with remembering to chainsaw every minute (or two) or remembering to use flame belch/flaming meathook every few seconds.

Does this alter the gameplay loop? Yes. But I do believe that Eternal has a little too many mechanics and allowing ammo and armor management to be simpler makes for more desirable gameplay for some people (including me).

🤖 AI-enhanced — based on mod data

Simpler Armor Management tweaks Doom Eternal's armor economy: every demon kill grants 6 armor with weapons and 20 on glory kills, while disabling Flame Belch and Flaming Meathook. This reduces the need for constant armor management, focusing on straightforward combat. For players who find the flame mechanics clunky or want a more direct approach.

✨ Key Features

Every demon kill with a weapon grants 6 armor.
Glory kills grant 20 armor.
Disables Flame Belch and Flaming Meathook.

📊 Pros & Cons

✅ Pros

  • Simplifies armor economy—no more juggling flame belch cooldowns.
  • Glory kills become a meaningful armor source (20 armor per kill).
  • Lightweight tweak that doesn't overhaul combat.

⚠️ Cons

  • Only 22 endorsements—small user base, so limited community feedback.
  • Last updated in 2021—may not be compatible with the latest Doom Eternal patches.
  • Disabling Flame Belch removes a tactical option; may feel restrictive for some playstyles.
🎯 Is This For You?
For Doom Eternal players who find armor management tedious and prefer a straightforward kill-to-armor system. Skip if you enjoy the tactical depth of Flame Belch combos.
