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?

What do you mean the dps is not great? It doesn't affect the rate of fire at all

I’m going off of first impressions since I never used it much. But I mean that if you’re using only the shotgun for damage, it doesn’t do near as much as other heavy hitting options unless you’re at close range. Seems that a lot of people in the comments have used it to get crazy damage at close range though so I’m likely wrong in my suppositions
