How do you unlock nightmare in this game?

As the question says

You have to complete the campaign on any difficulty.

Nightmare is unlocked by default, the only locked difficulty is Ultra-Nightmare

[BaHaMuT]

should I go with nightmare or ultraviolence if I play it the first time?

[DoomDash]

Does anyone know the differences besides Ultra Nightmare?

Dunno, it would be good to hear from season players, the differences and what is the most suitable difficulty for getting a better experience (first time players)

No difference in difficulty, just that Ultra-Nightmare is perma death.

I'd go with Ultra-Violent for the first time. You want it hard enough to be tense and make you work for it, it's not a bad choice; all comes down to the person though.

I mean what is the difference between Ultra-Violence to Nightmare? I am playing on Nightmare now 2nd play through and it's much harder, but I wanted a written list of all the differences.

I'd like that list myself; seems like enemies deal more damage and have more hp at least, but I'm not sure about the specifics. I'd love to know the numbers behind the game.

Minimal any Doom player should play UV first. Actually I couldn't even imagine playing any Doom less then UV. On the original Doom anything less then UV was a ghost town for levels.

-Enemies deal more damage
-Enemies have more health
-You do less damage
-Pickups are almost worthles

Played first level through the demonic infestation section on Nightmare after beating the game on Ultra-Violent and can confirm that drops are terrible.
Was getting 1-2 5 HP drops from imps at the most.

I also got hit by an imp blast twice at 100hp and it killed me that quickly.

UV really is the perfect mix between hard and fun.
You don't die easily enough that you can't feel badass, but stop for a second or back into a corner and you are boned.
