Doom: The Dark Ages Update 3 Overhauls Ripatorium With Round System and Shareable Passcodes

Id Software plans to spotlight community-built encounters to reinforce its post-launch support.

Overview

  • Ripatorium shifts from a timer to a round-based structure, supporting up to five rounds with up to 10 waves per round.
  • Each round now generates a unique passcode to share custom presets, with the sharing feature currently in beta.
  • Players can swap between melee weapons and Shield Runes on the fly without opening menus, streamlining combat.
  • A new Brink of Death setting lets players choose Normal or Hard, with fewer recovery resources available on Hard at low health.
  • Id Software will curate standout community-made Ripatorium presets, and the patch also tunes campaign encounters and some enemy attacks.
