3 Comments

id Software has released the fourth major update for Doom Eternal. According to the release notes, this new update adds a free new Master Level and Master Level mode.

The New Master Level, Super Gore Nest, is an entirely new combat experience, aiming to challenge the player beyond anything seen in the base campaign.

id Software has added three difficulty modes to this level. These are Classic Mode, Extra-Life and Ultra Nightmare. In Classic Mode, you’ll need to find the rest of the weapons and mods throughout the level in order to fill out your arsenal and have a chance to survive. In Extra-Life, it’s permadeth once you run out of Extra Lives. And in Ultra Nightmate, it’s permadeath without the ability to gain any Extra Lives.

Additionally, this patch comes with a number of fixes that were introduced via the previous update. It also adds an End of Level Event Preview functionality which allows players to learn more about the items on their current live event progression track.
