How to unlock the Gunpletionist achievement in DOOM Eternal - Definitive Guide

If you use either the IDKFA cheat code or the "All cheats" codes before getting this achievement, it may glitch. I recommend not using those codes at all until this unlocks.

There are 9 weapons in Doom Eternal. Two of them--the BFG and Unmakyr--do not have masteries. Of the remaining 7 weapons, the Super Shotgun only has 1 mastery and the rest have 2. This means you have to master 13 weapon mods to unlock this achievement.

To master a weapon, first you must buy its upgrades. This costs 9 Weapon Points per weapon, and if you beat every single encounter, including the surprise encounters, you'll have enough Weapon Points to unlock everything after clearing the second fight in the final level.

In order to master a mod, you have to unlock a weapon through progression, unlock the upgrades for the mod, and then complete a mastery challenge. Some of the mastery challenges are simple and will easily be done through play, such as the ones for the chaingun, while others may prove to be situational and not always register, such as the auto-shotgun.

Fortunately, starting in Mission 10, you will find 7 mastery tokens throughout play. These allow you to unlock mastery in a weapon without grinding through the mastery challenge. Since you could use these for any challenge, it's possible you could waste a token to auto-complete an easy challenge and then waste time grinding on a tedious one. To use a mastery token, select the mod, scroll right, and hold down cn_A to purchase.

Based on my playthrough on Medium difficulty, I found these 7 challenges to be easiest. I recommend you unlock any 6 of these you choose these through normal play:

Heavy Cannon: Micro Missiles
Plasma Rifle: Microwave Beam
Rocket Launcher: Lock-On Burst
Super Shotgun: Improvements
Ballista: Destroyer Blade
Chaingun: Mobile Turret & Energy Shield

I recommend you use mastery tokens to auto-complete these and whichever of the previous challenges you haven't finished yet:

Combat Shotgun: Sticky Bombs & Full Auto
Heavy Cannon: Precision Bolt
Plasma Rifle: Heat Blast
Rocket Launcher: Remote Detonate
Ballista: Arbalest

There's 5 zombies towards the beginning of Urdak that could help with the grind towards Micro Missiles, Precision Bolt, Mobile Turret, Destroyer Blade, and maybe Microwave Beam or Heat Blast. It's the spot where you jump down from the vents.

With only one Mastery Challenge left (and I even had tokens too), I was dumb enough to enable Cheats. Can confirm that as of December 2020, this still glitches the achievement. Don't enable cheats before you have this achievement.

I sincerely hope this still gets patched, though.

Sorry to hear it, LionQ. It appears to be designed this way and apparently will not be getting patched. They should warn you before you enable the cheats.

SL1CK CHR1S As you progress through the game, you unlock Mission Select on your ship. Yes, you can go for these on the same save file. You might as well go for these naturally as you play.

God damn. Played this to 100% at launch (barring this bugged achievement) and dropped the game entirely praying they'd patch it eventually. Two years and three DLCs later, seems like all hope is lost. The last thing I want is to play the whole thing again

I had to replay the whole game because I used cheats to go back and get collectables and completed some mastery on the way.

I got Gunpletionist showing 100% completed in the game menus, all guns showing mastered. But no achievement popped. Had to delete my save file and play without cheats.

AtomiicKiwi it's been a couple years since I played the game so I don't remember if Famine is related to IDKFA or "All cheats". If you didn't enter either of those you're probably OK.

Around halway of the campaign I started to grind these out. I started with two in mind and then I did another later when I finished the game.
So I went back to mission select and did one or two more.
And finally I used the Mastery Tokens to get the achievement, but I disabled all cheat before doing so just in case.
I though it will be a grind but not at all!
Good Luck!

If you have a few you are trying to mop up. Once you beat the game use mission select (or really any time once you beat this mission.
Go to cultist base and select any cheats if you so desire, but not necessary. Do the first jumping section until you get to a door that you break through. Very early in the mission.

There are 5-10 weak enemies fighting each other. kill them with your weapon and restart checkpoint. I completed 4 masteries in 10mins or so and the rest I was able to upgrade with mastery tokens or through my normal playthrough.

Easy ones to complete with basic enemies in this area:
Ballista
Micro missile
Plasma rifle
Chaingun

I managed to get this no problem (as I see there are comments about it glitching) so what I did was, I played through the entire campaign and completed it without using cheats, (playing as normal. if you complete gun mastery for certain guns before you reach the end don't worry about it ) I used the gun mastery tokens when i got them on whatever I wanted

then once the game was finished I went back and started farming them here is a list of all required gun mastery challenges. (and levels included on where to farm)

Combat Shotgun - Exultia
- Five Spot: Destroy 25 Arachnatron turrets with a Sticky Bomb
Combat Shotgun - Super Gore Nest
- Salvo Extender: Kill 15 Pinkies with the Full Auto mod
Heavy Cannon - Cultist Base
- Bottomless Missiles: Hit three enemies with a single salvo of missiles, 15 times.
Heavy Cannon - Cultist Base
- Headshot Blast: Get 75 Precision Bolt headshot kills
Plasma Rifle - Cultist Base
- Power Surge: Kill two demons with a single Heat Blast, 30 times.
Plasma Rifle - Cultist Base
- Concussive Blast: Kill at least one demon with the Microwave explosion, 15 times.
Rocket Launcher - Cultist Base
- Explosive Array: Kill 60 enemies while the Proximity Flare is active
Rocket Launcher - Super Gore Nest
- Dual Lock: Kill 15 Prowler demons with the Lock-on burst.
Super Shotgun - Cultist Base
- Flaming Hook: Kill 50 enemies with the super shotgun while grappled onto them.
Ballista - MarsCore
- Instant Salvo: Kill 20 Cacodemons with the Arbalest
Ballista - Cultist Base
- Incremental Blade: Kill at least three enemies with the Destroyer Blade, 15 times.
Chaingun - Cultist Base
- Ultimate Cooling: Kill 5 enemies with a single turret without overheating, ten times.
Chaingun - Cultist Base
- Shield Launch: Deal 20,000 damage while Energy Shield is active.

since it seems people are having issues with the plasma rifle one, i left that till last.

hope it help

Thumbs up. This is the best guide of the three on here.

Thank you for providing a list of each individual weapon challenge and the best mission in which to find the enemies to defeat.

As soon as I finished my last challenge, the achievement immediately unlocked. I never touched the cheats, as usually using in-game cheats voids achievements.

Throughout the course of getting all the collectibles there are 7 Mastery Tokens you can get. These allow you to bypass a Mastery challenge and mark it as complete. You can use Mastery Tokens to get this achievement.

Just a few things to know.

1.) You can only use a Mastery Token after you have bought all the upgrades of that Weapon Mod with the required weapon points

2.) You only have 7 Mastery Tokens so only use them on ones you know you find hard to get, Some of the Master Challenges you can easily run out with cheat modes enables which brings me on to point 3

3.) Cheat Mode does not disable getting this achievement. Once you get the Infinite Ammo and Infinite Extra Lives cheat, Put these on when replaying missions as it will make getting master challenges so much easier!

To add to this solution:
Your progress towards the mastery of the weapon mods saves even if you reload your checkpoint.

So when you for example have a group cacodemons in front of you (eg. when you get the BFG for the first time) you could go for a couple charge shot crossbow kills and reload 4 times to fully upgrade that weapon mod.

@jimmyclutchman in response to your query in my situation I used all seven on different weapons, one on each but 2 on ballista, didn't seem to effect them, my guess is that you need to get your masteries in before you go through the point of no return alert?

Okay, if this happens to you after you have beaten the final boss, open the pause menu and reset the mission, this will reset you to when you just returned from the battle, rework your points you spent and yes sadly plug away at what you need to in a different order and hopefully it will work for you like it finally, finally did for me, good luck every one!

I'm playing on Extra Life Mode and on Mission 7 I cannot earn all 10 hardpoints. The final one simply raises the bar less than it should and I end the mission with 9/10. Anyone else ran into this? This game is awesome, but it's a hell of a mess with so many different bugs.

EDIT***

Alright it seems that this achievement can break for an entire save file if you use the cheat code IDKFA before you get all the masteries complete. Just a heads up if you wanna add this tip into the guide.

I'm playing on the steam release, and I have run into a problem similar to Dark's. It says I have unlocked all the masteries, but the chaingun one is still incomplete in my milestones. In game though it is complete, not sure how to fix this one other than completely redoing a save file and getting them all again.

Can confirm with @B0WM4NX That if you use the IDKFA Cheat and complete mastery challenges with it, it doesn’t register a change because it’s currently all unlocked when that cheat is active. Some of my milestones are sitting as incomplete because of this despite all of them completed without cheats on! Do NOT activate that cheat when competing those challenges! If you’re also going for the “Running Up The High Score” achievement, you can do it during that play through as you need to completely do another save anyway, still very unfortunate That it can bug out so much progress.

Different problem: I'm missing a modbot, so I can't unlock the final mod upgrade. All missions 100% complete and got the two modbots from the Fortress, should be 12 in total but I have none left for the final unlock :-(.

Also I couldn't use any of the mastery tokens. I checked multiple times but found no way to apply them in the mod upgrade menu, no button prompts or which button to press?

For those who have still not unlocked this, I urge you to try this.
https://www.reddit.com/r/Doom/comments/fsyo48/about_gunpleti...
To sum it up, if you go the Doom fortress after you beat the game, go to the menu, and reset mission, there's a chance your weapon challenges will come back.

Each weapon has two Mods you will need to first find and equip, then complete a challenge related to them both to unlock the third Mastery upgrade. You then need to complete this Mastery upgrade to then have the gun and all of it's Mods Mastered. You will have to find the Mods throughout the game to then equip them to your guns. You can also find 'Mastery Tokens' that will allow you to master a Mod without having to complete it's challenge. These are scarce so use them only on challenges you otherwise would find difficult. The video below will show you all of the Mod locations as well as all of the Mastery Token locations.

The guns that have mods and that need to be mastered are:
  • Combat Shotgun
  • Heavy Cannon
  • Plasma Rifle
  • Rocket Launcher
  • Super Shotgun
  • Ballista
  • Chaingun
You do not need to master either the BFG-9000 or the Unmaykr as they have no Mods.

You can see what challenges you need to do to master a Mod by pressing then pressing to tab across to Arsenal. Here are all of your weapons and any/all of the Mods you have, as well as what you need to do to complete any challenges to then master them.

I had the same problem thinking this achievement it's bugged but if you use mastery token you need to complete the challenge mastery for the weapon. In my case I unlocked heavy cannon mastery but in the challenge menu I saw I need the 75 headshots. So I made the headshots and achievement unlock. So like a recommendation don't use tokens for unlock upgrades.

I received a trophy with cheats , I used coins before, nothing bad happened, you can do the same. The best place for farming is the last mission, the place with the boss, absolutely all types of enemies appear there, except for marauders, there are a lot of zombies to complete mass murder tests, from cheats enable endless ammo and endless lives

If there is one test left and you know where the desired mob is, you can safely go out, start the desired mission, kill it and load the checkpoint, the counter works instantly

Video guide for collecting all the collecting modules.
By collecting them you can level up to 100%. And to do this you will need to invest points in upgrading the module and perform a special module test.
The achievement is awarded for completing tests of all modules of all guns.

In total, you need to do 13 master tests, for each weapon module (everyone has two, the hook has one) and there are seven tokens and six you need to complete yourself (choose which is easier for you). I had just enough gunsmith points, despite the fact that I didn’t do additional skirmishes until near the end, so at the first levels additional skirmishes are mandatory.

The levels also contain gunsmith coins, which are enough to open master weapon modifications, 6 for sure. If you play in extra mode. In life, I recommend clearing all levels to get 10 coins per level. Otherwise, it may not be enough to open all modifications.
