Brutal Doom Community Expansion (BDCE) — a unified community expansion for Brutal Doom v21, created in response to the long pause in the original mod's development. The project brings together in one package all key fixes, new mechanics and content, bringing the mod to a more polished and balanced state.

The mod overhauls the bonus system, introducing a new crueltybonus with red health and armor points, improves the HUD for all vehicles, including tanks, helicopter and motorcycle, adds night vision and a functional headlight for the motorcycle. Weapons received significant changes: the rifle was replaced with a G36K with scopes, shotguns support slug ammunition, new ammo types appeared along with "purist" versions of classic weapons.
BDCE expands game modes through arcade and shotgun-start class variants, refines the friendly marine system and completes the demon transformation mechanic with the ability to use their attacks and fatalities. New liquid types were added to the game for compatibility with popular megawads, as well as rare monsters and weapons that can randomly spawn instead of standard ones.
The project is actively supported by the community, regularly receives patches and fixes, improves performance and in many aspects surpasses the original Brutal Doom, offering a more stable and content-rich gaming experience.
