While I've already mentioned how you don't unlock perks or killstreaks as you level up like you would in other online games, Doom still boasts a hefty selection of additional power-ups and add-ons for you to wield in every match.

The difference however, is that most of these are acquired in-game and only last for the duration of the round. While not having the ability to change out your specializations in preparation for a fight might seem limiting, it actually makes those in-game power-ups all the more important.
