The latest update to Rise of the Triad brings a load of new content including the mighty pumping Doomstick. This video shows it off perfectly.
In this update to the classic shooter remake players can get their hands on the new Doomstock shotgun which is a semi-automatic beast from Hell. That’s not all though, there’s also six new maps and all this is for free. The new maps are as follows:
- Danger Canyon (DM)
- Spry (DM)
- Tepidus (DM/TDM)
- Templus (DM/TDM/CTF)
- Virgus (DM/TDM)
- The RoTTest Yard (DM)
The weapon effects have also been given a makeover with optimised particle effects and there’s even “new and optimised blood effects” for those of you wanting more splatter.
Some of the previous achievements have been removed as apparently they weren’t “good ones” but new achievements have been added to make up for the loss. These include:
- Knife Party
- This is My Doomstick!
- Shop Smart, Shop S Mart
For those of you who like to cheat then why not try BOOMSHAKALAKA (Spawns the doomstick) and ImGangsta (Toggles gangsta mode).
