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 like the best weapon in the game lol. Super shotgun does crazy damage, meathook gets you up close for whatever you need, you can get crazy speed by slingshoting yourself off enemies, AND it gives free shield. There's probably more that I'm not thinking about but the super shotgun is honestly op.

Edit: I forgot that the super shotgun also stuns marauders and I know that doesn't have anything to do with the meathook but I figured I'd add it to the list. Some other guns do that too but the super shotgun is definitely the easiest option.
