Official patch notes for DOOM from Bethesda, published on Steam on July 29, 2026.
A hotfix has been deployed to DOOM: The Dark Ages on all platforms that addresses the following issues:
⚖️Balance Updates
Gameplay
Skullcrusher Ravager
- Updated damage required to trigger ammo and health drops from standard enemies
- Increased damage required to trigger ammo and health drops from Vagary enemies, Xal'Goroth the Imprisoned
- Decreased damage dealt to the Pain Elemental
Tormentor (Chain Spear Meathook Orbit Upgrade)
- Against Heavy demons, Superheavy demons, or the Henchman
- Too many consecutive uses of Tormentor in a short period of time will apply diminishing returns on max time and angle for orbiting the target, eventually leading to the post-orbit lock-on being disabled as well
[*]Against Vagary enemies
- Damage dealt is reduced while Tormentor is active
Dreadmace
- When Riposte upgrade is active (with 2nd Dreadmace swing available), the backhand swing will now play first
🗺️Levels
Osseus
- In the End Game Praetor Fight, updated late-encounter Cyberdemons spawn conditions and defense roles to make them more impactful
🐞Bug Fixes
Chain Spear
- Fixed an issue where attempting to initiate a Glory Strike or synced Execution against a demon while also attempting a second Spear slash would leave the player with no hands
- Fixed an issue where triggering "Haste" from any Spear ability upgrade caused the "Dash Pass" upgrade to become disabled
👹Bosses
Marok
- Fixed an issue where Marok wouldn’t properly target the player while attacking
Xal’Goroth the Imprisoned
- Fixed an issue where the player could fall through the floor when attempting to Glory Strike Xal’Goroth
- Fixed an issue where Holy Swarm Shield Rune daggers would not spawn when parrying projectiles
