When equipped, hold down the aim button in mid-air and everything will slow down, letting you line up sniper shots and target weak points with ease. One Rune in particular, Chrono Strike, adds some slow-mo to the action.

Runes are back and arguably better than ever. It serves as an excellent movement tool but keep in mind that the Meat Hook can only grapple onto enemies, not the environment. This grappling hook lets you latch onto enemies and blast them up close.

One of the coolest new additions to the Super Shotgun this time is the Meat Hook. Of course, it could also be something as simple as using the Heavy Cannon’s Precision Bolt to shoot the cannons off of a Mancubus or Revenant. This can be seen when using the Shotgun’s Sticky Bomb mod to destroy an Arachnotron’s tail or firing a frag grenade into a Cacodemon’s mouth to stagger it. With how enemy weaknesses work, you’re encouraged to use certain mods and weapons against foes to gain an advantage. Stack up so Glory Kills – which you’ll be doing anyway – and your punching needs should be sorted. That being said, it does require recharging. It can decimate an enemy’s armor in quick fashion and is just great for battering medium-sized foes. The Blood Punch is a very, very useful new melee attack. Regardless, for the most part, it’s a good idea to cull lesser foes whenever the weapon is available. You still gather Fuel to add more charges but this is meant more for killing larger demons. It now passively recharges up to at least one use. That’s because on top of max ammo in weapons being lower, thus necessitating the need to constantly rip open enemies for more, the Chainsaw works differently. You’ve probably noticed more Chainsaw usage than with DOOM (2016). Here are a few tips to keep in mind that should make life as the Slayer somewhat easier. There is a lot to uncover, whether it’s exploring the new Fortress of Doom for goodies or finding new and creative ways to kill.

Id Software’s DOOM Eternal is nearly upon us and comes with a wide array of tools for slaughtering the hapless legions of Hell.
