How to unlock Butcher skin in Doom the Dark Ages. It seems that some players have problems

by

Following a brief stint in Early Access, Doom: The Dark Ages has now been released to the general public, much to the delight of fans who love tearing through their enemies. While the game’s price tag might seem high, many players have given it a whirl (according to SteamDB) and, based on Steam reviews as well as our own assessment, it’s shaping up to be another strong addition to the Doom series. If you’re not a fan of the Slayer’s traditional greenish appearance, there’s an alternative skin available for free, although obtaining it can sometimes be tricky. This guide will walk you through the steps to unlock the Butcher skin.

How to unlock Butcher skin in Doom The Dark Ages

In the good old days, we used to be able to download files directly and install them or place them in appropriate folders on our drives. However, those days are behind us (unless we’re talking about mods). Nowadays, you need to log into a developer’s website, redeem a code, to obtain the goods. This is what you’ll have to do if you want to get a free, alternative skin for the Slayer in Doom The Dark Ages called Butcher.

To get the new protagonist visuals offered by Bethesda, you have to follow the steps below:

  1. Go to the bundle page (you can do it also using a QR code in the Extras section in-game) and click on “CLAIM NOW” button near the very top of the webpage.

  1. Next, you will be redirected to a page where you will need to log into your Bethesda.net account. Make sure to use the same one that you are using in the game itself!

  1. After successfully logging in (or creating an account and verifying the email address), you should be able to get back to the previous page and instead of “LOG IN / SIGN UP” button, you should see “CLAIM NOW”. If it’s still not appearing, try refreshing the page while making sure that you’re logged in correctly.

  1. With the “CLAIM NOW” button clicked, you should see an information about opt-in to marketing communications and being able to use the skin.

  1. The very last step is going back into the game, selecting “Extras” from main menu and choosing the desired skin for the Slayer.

Don’t forget: The opportunity to grab the bundle expires on June 27, 2025 at 10AM Eastern Time. Hurry up if you want it. Also, remember to visit Nvidia for a chance to acquire Verdant skin (if you qualify), and keep an eye out for Twitch Drops that could net you the Guardian skin.

(This version aims to make the information more conversational, while still maintaining clarity.)

Issues with claiming the Butcher skin in Doom The Dark Ages

1. If the activation of the bundle isn’t always successful and the Butcher skin isn’t granted, try these steps:

2. Restart the game to refresh its settings.
3. Ensure that Doom The Dark Ages is connected to the same Bethesda.net account you used when claiming the bundle on the webpage. Double-check this by signing in with the correct account and verifying the connection.

You don’t need any extra coding or game actions to obtain the skin. Simply click the button found on the page while being logged in. The reward should be claimed automatically. To check if the skin has been added to your account, navigate to the “Transaction History” page after logging into Bethesda.net. Make sure you select your profile, which is located in the top right corner.

Hopefully, with that done you will be able to rip and tear with style. Good luck and have fun!
