Call of Duty’s DOOM Crossover Splits Weapons and Slayer Cosmetics Across Reward Tracks
Activision's Season 06 overview puts the Roc 20mm on the free track, Doom Slayer on the premium pass and the villain skins in a separate store bundle.
The Roc 20mm and Doom Slayer occupy different reward tracks in Call of Duty’s announced DOOM crossover. Players interested in the weapon had a free progression route, while the Slayer appearances and villain-themed bundle belonged to separate paid offers.
Activision’s season-support overview records the DOOM event alongside its reward structure. Current availability depends on the live event listing rather than the historical season overview.
Activision’s Season 06 announcement describes progression through XP milestones across Endgame, Multiplayer, Zombies, and Warzone. The ordinary seasonal Battle Pass, DOOM Event Pass, and Demonic Essence store bundle are separate offers.
Free rewards, premium rewards and the store bundle
| Route | Notable rewards |
|---|---|
| Free DOOM track | Roc 20mm; Researcher and Scientist operator skins; Mini Slayer charm; Doom 1993 decal. |
| Premium DOOM track | Doom Slayer; Doom Guy appearance; themed blueprints including BFG and Crucible. |
| Demonic Essence bundle | Marauder for Jurado, Icon of Sin for Samuels, and a separate collection of cosmetics. |
In the announcement, the Roc 20mm base unlock comes through the free track’s XP requirement. The premium purchase is the route to the Slayer-themed presentation. That separation lets a player distinguish an addition to a loadout from a character or blueprint collection.
How the pass’s XP progression works
The premium purchase opens a second reward track that progresses alongside the free one. Treat the purchase and the earned milestones as two separate steps: first access to the premium track, then the progression needed for its rewards.
For players splitting their time between modes, the important feature is that the announcement describes XP acquisition across all four supported modes. You can build a session around the mode your group wants to play rather than assuming a DOOM-themed reward must be earned in one particular Zombies activity.
The cosmetic names also deserve a careful read. Doom Guy is an appearance for Doom Slayer, while the villains are skins attached to Jurado and Samuels. Those distinctions matter when deciding which character slot and faction presentation you actually want to use.
Demonic Essence contains the villains
Demonic Essence leans into the opposition: the Marauder’s recognizable silhouette and the Icon of Sin’s imagery. It is a different fantasy from the Slayer track, and its items do not become pass rewards just because the same DOOM branding appears above them.
For a collector choosing between the two, the decision is more specific than which offer contains more icons. Is the attraction playing the Slayer, using an existing operator with a villain appearance, or unlocking the new special weapon? Each answer points to a different route in the table.
The season date and current availability
Season 06 launched September 17 at 9 a.m. Pacific, but Activision labelled the DOOM pass an in-season event. That season-launch date should not be reused as the pass’s confirmed opening date.
The cited overview does not provide a complete current event calendar or checkout prices. The live countdown and offer listing supply those details for returning players. A later store-bundle appearance would also need to be checked separately from the availability of the event pass.
