Developer id Software has dropped a brand-new Doom Eternal update for the first-person shooter's asymmetrical multiplayer experience, Battlemode. We've compiled the full patch notes below.

　　The update only targets PS4 and Xbox One Battlemode players, where id Software saw a disparity between the PC and console experience. According to the studio, the new patch should "bring the challenge for Console-Slayers more within reach and the overall feel of the match will be more consistent now between all platforms." It's available now and doesn't require a download to install.

　　Now Playing: Doom Eternal Video Review

　　Id Software made some adjustments to Battlemode by decreasing the demon respawn timer to 20 seconds, tweaking the way team heal and healing zones work, and balancing some of the demons' abilities. The studio is also aware of an inconsistency between the team heal ability and its description, though it's unclear when id Software will resolve this.

　　In other Doom Eternal news, it's been discovered that the first-person shooter has a secret weapon buried in the game's code. It was originally cut because it didn't fit Doom Eternal's flow, but console commands reveal a way to access the first gun you were originally supposed to start with: the pistol. And if you wanted to know something else that the game may have hidden from you, we've put together a quick guide for removing those helpful but pesky tutorials.
