Update 6.66 has arrived as the biggest free update Doom Eternal has yet had, with a single-player Horde Mode, new Master Levels, and more. “Compete for the highest score by battling wave after wave of demons across three Missions from Doom Eternal and The Ancient Gods – Parts One and Two in this challenging new single player game mode,” Bethesda explains. “You’ll need to keep your wits about you and your skill sharp.” You start with three extra lives and a Combat Shotgun, unlocking a new random weapon for each time you complete an Arena Round. Each Horde Mode mission has an Arena Round with waves of enemies, a Blitz Round, where you’ll be timed to kill as many demons as possible, and a Traversal Round with a traversal puzzle, where you have to collect as many coins as possible. There are also two optional bonus rounds: the Coin Round, where you again have to collect as many coins as possible within the time limit, and the Bonus Blitz Round, which features Super Heavy demons. The two new Master Levels are Mars Core and The World Spear. Once unlocked, they can be found from the Fortress of Doom. Bethesda also outlines Battlemode 2.0, and says that Hot Streaks in particular are “key to the more competitive Battlemode 2.0 design.” The devs explain that “the new Streak Tracker on the top of the Player Card tracks wins and losses played in Public Matches, activating after the first win as a Slayer or a Demon. When the Streak Tracker is active, additional wins are tracked as checkmarks and losses as X’s.” You can check out the full notes for Battlemode 2.0 over on the Doom Eternal site.Doom Eternal’s Update 6.66 is available now. We’ve picked up the Horde Mode trophies, but the achievements haven’t yet appeared — we’ll be sure to update when they do.
