Bethesda is preparing to release the first update for their release of Doom. Within the update, gamers can expect to see a number of bug fixes and patches, but there is also some new features that will be tossed in as well. For one, gamers who remember playing the classic Doom title can select the original weapon placement view, giving gamers a more centered look when roaming around the corridors fighting off demons.
Originally, Doom featured the weapon the weapon placement in the center of the screen and while it didn’t make too much sense aesthetically compared to other first-person shooters, gamers can once again enjoy the centered view in the upcoming update. Known as the classic Doom weapon placement option, gamers can easily toggle it on and off within the settings.
Likewise, there is a new Photo Mode toggle that will be placed within the game settings that can be activated through the pause menu. Besides the two new features, the upcoming update will fix a number of various bugs and patches for the game.
You can take a look at what all is set to come with the update when it releases on June 30, 2016, by checking out the patch notes down below.
