DOOM: The Dark Ages Update 2 has been released, bringing with it some exciting new content, bug fixes, and quality of life improvements.
The Ripatorium, a new endless arena mode, challenges players to battle through customizable waves and race against the clock. With three arenas available within the Ripatorium, players have great control over the types of enemies they’ll face and the overall encounter. Rewards await those who complete all three arenas, including the QuakeCon skin for players who participated in DOOM: The Dark Ages by September 1st, and the Perfection skin for those who conquer all three arenas.
Aside from these additions, the update includes various tweaks and adjustments throughout the game. Some notable changes include a new Max Life Sigils difficulty slider, a slider for parry and melee slow motion, and a new weapon class switch style option. Numerous bug fixes have also been implemented to enhance the overall gameplay experience.
