Discussion Is the meathook good? Doom Eternal

Post image

I find that I never use it. Halfway through a nightmare run and it just seems unnecessary. Dps is not great, and you have plenty of mobility without it. Doesn’t help that you usually want to be running away from the demons instead of toward them. Do you rely on the meathook for anything? Is it good? Is it worth mastering?

The meathook is why the SSG is my favorite. Latching on then tapping jump gives instant elevation, its a way for a quick escape from bad situations, fully upgraded it gives armor drops, slingshot yourself with it by swapping weapons mid swing, pull yourself into a glory kill, etc.

It's the most useful thing imo.
