‘BorderDoom’ Mod Mashes up ‘Borderlands’ With ‘Doom’ For Loot Dropping Fun
Ever wanted to have Borderlands mashed up with DOOM (minus the humour, of course)? Thanks to a modder named Sunbeam, you can. They’ve recently released the first version of BorderDoom, which combines the loot shooter of Borderlands with the hellish goodness that is DOOM.
The mod features a new XP and loop drop system, along with a variety of new weapons and items, each with variable attributes. So in other words, that shotgun you just picked up won’t have the same damage output, fire rate or clip size as the next one you pick up. Luckily, you can check out a weapon or item’s attributes by pointing your reticle at it. Likewise, you can do the same thing with an enemy to see its level and current health. If the enemy level is in red text, you probably want to tackle it at anther time.
The mod also introduces an inventory system and a restriction of three weapons being carried at a time, so choose wisely. You can check out the new gameplay features in the video below. To get this puppy running, you’ll need a copy of DOOM (obviously), as well as ZDoom. And, of course, you can download the mod via the link Sunbeam posted on Twitter below.

Bloober Team appears to have something in the works related to Cronos: The New Dawn. At least, that would appear to be the case, thanks to an accidental reveal ahead of this weekend’s IGN Live event as part of Summer Game Fest.
In the list of title reveals during the event, something referred to as “Cronos: Lazarus” appeared in the list, but was quickly scrubbed. However, not before the internet picked up on it. Adding more fuel to the reveal were two screenshots posted to X by insider Intercelluar, which appear to show the official art. It’s not clear yet, but this is more than likely a new DLC for Cronos: The New Dawn, given that Bloober Team is already busy with multiple other titles, including the Silent Hill remake, and the recently-announced Layers of Fear 3.
If you haven’t checked out Cronos: The New Dawn (and you never read Aaron’s review of the game), the game is set in the haunting ruins of New Dawn, a world inspired by Nowa Huta, a real historical district in Kraków, Poland. Cronos: The New Dawn unfolds across two timelines: a post-apocalyptic future decaying in despair, and the gritty, industrial 1980s reality. This powerful duality blends retro realism, dystopian sci-fi, and a retro-futuristic atmosphere to create a deeply immersive world filled with tension, mystery, and terror.
Players step into the hunting suit of The Traveler — an enigmatic agent of the Collective, sent into zones scarred by the Change, a cataclysmic event that shattered time, memory, and flesh. What remains is a world suspended between past and future — haunted, hostile, and unravelling. Survival is anything but certain.
