Alongside the Ancient Gods DLS, id Software released a brand new update for Doom Eternal. Update 3 brings numerous tweaks, improvements and changes to Battlemode.

Going into more details, this update optimizes loot drops (ammo/health) for better network?performance. It also packs performance optimizations to improve network latency.

Patch 3 also comes with some PC-only fixes for Battlemode. For example, it fixes an issue where the Slayer’s speed in BATTLEMODE increased based on framerate. It also fixes aim assist for Marauders and Revenant dash to not be affected by framerate.

As always, Steam will download the Doom Eternal Update 3 the next time you launch its client. Below you can also find its complete changelog.
