Patch Notes from DOOM Update 6.66

Update 6.66 brings a ton of fixes for Multiplayer and SnapMap. More importantly, it unlocks all of the multiplayer DLCs (Unto the Evil, Hell Followed, Bloodfall) for all to play. It also resets all of the multiplayer progress. Have no fear, you can opt to keep all of the stuff you’ve unlocked or bought, such as guns, equipment, demons and customization options. Alternatively, you can choose to start afresh with a clean slate. Veteran DOOM players will also receive a special badge to mark them as such.
