| Powerups | |||
| Weapons added to Skulltag (along with the standard ''Doom'' weapons) are: | |||
| * ] — Based on the ''Quake III Arena'' weapon. | |||
| Turbosphere: | |||
| * ] — Somewhat like the Grenade Launcher in the '']'' series. | |||
| Greatly increases the player's running speed. This could really help out in CTF games! | |||
| * ] — Generic "Spray and Pray" weapon, requires time for barrels to speed up/slow down. | |||
| Time Freeze Sphere: | |||
| * ] — Almost identical to the Railgun found in the ''Quake'' series. | |||
| Perhaps the most unique powerup in all of Doom! This powerup actually briefly FREEZES TIME, however allowing YOU to move around, fire, do whatever you want! Wreak havoc on your foes before time resumes as normal! | |||
| Invisibility Sphere: | |||
| Causes the player who possesses it to be almost completely invisible. Can work wonders in CTF games! | |||
| Doomsphere: | |||
| Quadruples the amount of damage done by players who carry this. | |||
| Random Powerup: | |||
| Randomly gives the player either a megasphere, soulsphere, invulnerability, partial invisibility, time freezer, invisibility, doomsphere, or a turbosphere. | |||
| Terminator: | |||
| The terminator gameplay mode revolves around this (appropriately named) powerup! Spawned at a random deathmatch spot at the beginning of a level, this powerup gives the player who carries it PERMANENT quad damage (it doesn't wear off until you die), and 200/200% health and armor, making the player the TERMINATOR! When killed, the player carrying this drops the terminator ball, and the one who killed him is awarded 10 frags. | |||
| Runes | |||
| Strength: | |||
| The powers of this rune harness and ampily the body's damage capability, and transfers those effects to its weapons. Having this rune doubles the amount of damage you do. | |||

| Spread: | |||
| Triple attack! You now fire three times as many shots, with the two additional shots going at a slightly different angle. Brings back memories of Contra, doesn't it? | |||
| Resistance: | |||
| The energy from this rune creates an invisible protection shield around the body. This field cuts the amount of damage done to you in half. | |||
| Regeneration: | |||
| The eternally beating heart of a slain demon, this rune slowly gives you back health until your maximum base health is reached. | |||
| Prosperity: | |||
| Allows you to pick up ALL health items until your maximum health is reached. So with this, medkits, stimpacks, etc. can take you up to 200%! | |||

Skulltag is a multiplayer source port for the computer game Doom that runs on a modified ZDoom.EXE. It is basically its own game, although a WAD (data) file from a purchased version of Doom or Doom II is required to run it, unless the Skulltag "FreeDoom" Edition is used. The basis of Skulltag is like that of Quake III Arena and Unreal Tournament: Deathmatch and Teamplay games, such as Capture the flag, and Team DM, as well as other modes such as instagib, Cooperation, and last-man-standing. It also introduces a new game mode, Skulltag, the Game runs and plays like a standard CTF game, only that the flags are replaced by skulls and the capture points are pillars.
One of the most notable features is Bot support. Up to sixteen computer controlled opponents (or allies) can be spawned in the various deathmatch modes. However they do not attack monsters in the cooperative gametype.
