DOOM: The Dark Ages | Active Tunables

Explanation:

Like with DOOM Eternal, we will be updating DOOM: The Dark Ages with occasional balance tweaks as needed based on feedback and observation. Sometimes we make these adjustments in a patch and will provide release notes right here on Slayers Club. We also have a system that allows us to push value updates to existing game data without the need for a patch - we call these “Tunables”. We cannot fix more complex systemic, content or code-related bugs with Tunables - those changes require a patch. This article will be updated with only active Tunables. If you notice a previously listed tunable is no longer listed below, it has most likely been rolled into an official patch and will be included in those release notes as a (*PT) “Previous Tunable”
