DOOM Update 3 brings new Ripatorium sharing

Bethesda Softworks and id Software’s DOOM: The Dark Ages is getting even better, with Update 3 bringing a significant number of improvements for the game’s Horde-style “Ripatorium” mode that was added back in August.

With this latest update, the Ripatorium now supports up to five rounds for one encounter, with up to 10 respawn waves per round. Most importantly, each round also has a unique Passcode, allowing players to share presets with friends by simply having someone load the Passcode in question.

The announcement does note that this feature is officially in beta testing, so it’s not impossible that players could encounter some issues when using it.

The Ripatorium Jukebox also now has five new tracks from the game’s soundtrack, adding some additional music variety for when players carve through demons. Here are the tracks in question:

• “Theomachy” 
• “Bloodspill” 
• “Divine Retribution” 
• “From the Ashes” 
• “Wither and Writhe”  

This update also brings four new heavily-requested rebindable inputs in the game’s settings:

• Next Melee Weapon 
• Previous Melee Weapon 
• Next Shield Rune 
• Previous Shield Rune
