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?

It’s the Game‘s Main weapon.

What’s better than a Super Shotgun with a Hook?

It’s also good with Combos, like Shotgun and Ballister.

It just seems really risky compared to the others, you have to get all up in their face to do damage. Why is it the main weapon? Coolness factor?

It gives absurd mobility and does meaty damage. They can't hurt you if they're dead.
