** When playing the map "Delirium" in non-Duel modes, stepping on the sector where the map's Mega Health power-up is located has a .5% chance for [[spoiler: the rear panel to lower, revealing [[VideoGame/SystemShock2 SHODAN]]. The Easter Egg can be seen in action [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FKRbSjzW9lk here]]]].

** BlessedWithSuck: ...and the curse comes from a) the owner is worth 10 frags (making him the biggest sitting duck of the mode), b) both health and armour degenerating quickly (forcing the carrier to always overstack) c) losing 10 frags in case of dying by health degeneration, and d) not being able to use the character's active ability.

The mod can be downloaded from [[https://www.moddb.com/mods/quake-champions-doom-edition ModDB]]. A full rundown of the Champions, their abilities and character-specific tropes can be found in the [[Characters/QuakeChampionsDoomEdition Characters page]].

* ShoutOut: One of the upgrades for the Gauntlet is called [[VideoGame/FinalFantasyVII Omnislash]].

''Quake Champions: Doom Edition'' is a GameMod for ''VideoGame/{{Doom}}'' created by [=DBThanatos=] and [=Michaelis=] and released on February 6, 2018. The mod comes packaged with the dedicated [[http://qzandronum.com/en/ Q-Zandronum]] source port, which offers Quake-styled movement, improved netcode and a variety of other quality-of-life changes. Other compatible source ports include [[http://zandronum.com Zandronum 3.0]], [[http://zdoom.org GZDoom 1.8.6-3.2.5]] and [[http://opentouchgaming.com/delta-touch/ Delta Touch]].

''[=QC:DE=]'' is primarily a [[PlayerVersusPlayer PvP]] mod, offering a variety of Solo and Team game types including Deathmatch, Capture The Flag, Domination, Last Man Standing, Survival and Freeze Tag. However, the game is also [[PlayerVersusEnvironment PvE]] compatible; players can play through almost any compatible Megawad (including the official Doom campaigns) solo or as a party.

''[=QC:DE=]'' comes packaged with several monster sets, which the player can enable/disable at their leisure to replace existing enemies spawned on any given map with those from ''Videogame/DoomII'' (the default set), ''VideoGame/Doom2016'', ''VideoGame/QuakeI'', ''VideoGame/QuakeII'' and ''VideoGame/QuakeIV''. Additional, community-made monster sets are also available for players to download, incorporating enemy rosters from the likes of ''VideoGame/HalfLife'', ''VideoGame/{{Marathon}}'' and VideoGame/{{Heretic}}, to sets that don't even have a representative fighter, such as ''VideoGame/SystemShock'' and ''VideoGame/ChexQuest''.

* AlternateFire: By default, the Heavy Machine Gun and Railgun retain their scope zooms from ''Champions'', though every weapon sans the Gauntlet, Machine Gun and Nailgun can attain one via the PvE weapon upgrade system listed below.

** BlessedWithSuck: ...and the curse comes from a) the owner is worth 10 frags (making him the biggest sitting duck of the mode), b) both health and armour degenerating quickly (forcing the carrier to always overstack) c) losing 10 frags in case of dying by health degeneration, and d) not being able to use the character's own active ability.

*** [[FireBreathingWeapon Dragon's Breath]] (Active): When active, the Super Shotgun fires a wave of fire as opposed to pellets. These flame particles will penetrate through enemies and deal damage for each tick they remain in contact, but quickly dissipate after firing, placing a hard cap on the Super Shotgun's range.

*** Bouncy Shell (Active): When active, fired bolts will bounce off of walls/surfaces and detonate when striking an enemy or automatically after a few seconds, effectively turning the Tri-Bolt into the Grenade Launchers it succeeded. Additionally, Bouncy Shell bolts travel in a steeper arc and deal increased damage compared to standard bolts.

*** Residual Charge (Passive): Upon releasing the primary fire button after 1 second of continuous fire, the weapon leaves a residual electrical charge at the last point of impact. For its short lifespan, this charge fires lightly-damaging bolts of electricity at nearby enemies in a medium radius.

* HyperspaceArsenal: The usual for a game based on having multiple weapons at the same time, but Doom Slayer, Duke Nukem, B.J. Blazkowicz, Painkiller, Caleb, Postal Dude & Sam take it up to eleven, by virtue of their personal additions to the game's arsenal.
* LootBoxes: ''[=QC:DE=]'' semi-jokingly implements lootboxes into PvE, rewarded for killing all enemies and finding all secrets within a map. However, instead of rewarding players with champion cosmetics and weapon skins, ''[=QC:DE=]'''s lootboxes instead reward players with resources, powerups, upgrades and other exclusive buffs with short- & long-term benefits. Lootbox rewards are distributed under the same Backpack/Chest/Reliquary rarity system used in vanilla Quake Champions. %%The current rewards pool includes as follows:

* MassiveMultiplayerCrossover[=/=]UltimateShowdownOfUltimateDestiny: The game tries to give an answer to the ''"Who would win a fight between...?"'' question by pitting characters from the ''VideoGame/{{Doom}}'', ''VideoGame/{{Quake}}'', ''VideoGame/{{Wolfenstein}}'', ''VideoGame/{{Blood}}'', ''VideoGame/ShadowWarrior1997'', ''VideoGame/DukeNukem'', ''VideoGame/{{Marathon}}'', ''VideoGame/HalfLife'', ''VideoGame/{{Bulletstorm}}'', ''VideoGame/SeriousSam'' & ''VideoGame/{{Postal}}'' universes, among many others. And considering that the mod is being updated constantly, expect more characters and more universes to be added.

** ''VideoGame/QuakeLive'''s "Battleforged", renamed "Dukiforged", uses ''VideoGame/DukeNukem3D'' assets, changing the map's setting to urban sprawl.
** ''VideoGame/QuakeChampions''' "Awoken", renamed "Lh'owoken", is recreated with ''VideoGame/{{Marathon}} 2: Durandal'' assets, changing the map's setting to Lh'owon. %% *** "Deep Embrace", renamed "Mine Embrace", is recreated with ''VideoGame/{{Minecraft}}'' assets, setting the map in a mossy dungeon complex in a gorge.

* AprilFoolsDay: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6hJ21NezqNA Rick and Morty]] as playable characters. It was just a joke trailer. Postal Dude was also "revealed" in an April's Fools trailer, but was later confirmed that he was indeed being added.

** ''Quake Live'': "Cure", "Sinister", "Elder", "Blood Run", "Aerowalk", "Toxicity", "Delirium", "Silence", "Dukiforged"[[note]]"Battleforged" themed as a [[VideoGame/DukeNukem Duke Nukem 3D]] map[[/note]]. %%, "

It aims to emulate the gameplay and features of ''VideoGame/QuakeChampions'', not only porting its arsenal, but also the Champions system: the ability to play as a character with a weight class, an active ability and one or two passive abilities. However, ''[=QC:DE=]'' brings a new roster of 31 Champions to the fray, as well as the [[{{BFG}} BFG10K]], a weapon that isn't present in the game it's inspired from.

* CoolVersusAwesome: You have [[VideoGame/{{Doom}} space]] [[VideoGame/{{Quake}} marines]] vs. [[VideoGame/{{Wolfenstein}} WWII soldiers]] vs. [[VideoGame/DukeNukem macho]][[VideoGame/SeriousSam -type]] [[VideoGame/{{Bulletstorm}} badasses]] vs. [[VideoGame/HalfLife scientists]] vs. [[VideoGame/{{Blood}} cowboys]] vs. [[VideoGame/ShadowWarrior kung-fu fighters]] vs. [[VideoGame/QuakeChampions robots]]...

*** Fission Intensifies (Passive): Mimicking the Classic Doom [=BFG=], upon the [=BFG=] projectile making impact, invisible hitscan tracers are fired from the player position into any enemy within their field of view. Enemies struck by these tracers produce green electrical sparks. the BFG now the same applies additional sparks on enemies within the user's field of view for additional damage.

%% Additional Ammo

And considering that the mod is being updated constantly, expect more characters and more universes to be added.

* NostalgiaLevel: Plenty of maps from the ''Quake'' series got remade for this game. There are also remakes of other game's maps. Full rundown:

** ''Quake 2'''s "The Edge" is recreated with ''VideoGame/{{Blood}}'' assets, setting the map to in the more urban environments of ''Episode 3: A Farewell to Arms''.
** ''Quake Live'''s "Battleforged", renamed "Dukiforged", uses ''VideoGame/DukeNukem3D'' assets, changing the map's setting to urban sprawl.

*** Demanufacture (Passive): Doubles the Super Shotguns' rate of fire, matching that of the standard Shotgun.
