DOOM Eternal: 10 New Features We Can't Wait To Play

It doesn't take much to sell the gaming world on the inclusion of a grappling hook. What game isn't improved with a grappling hook? Yet another tool added to the list of traversal equipment, the grappling hook can be used in both puzzle solving and combat.

What better way cruise through the dystopian hells-cape of Doom Eternal than flying around double jumping, double dashing and grappling your way to victory. Used to open doors and swing to new locations, the grappling hook truly opens doors for what can be done in the way of first person platforming. Not only as a fun mechanic, but as a whole new way to look at level design. All these new ways to traverse the world have created almost limitless possibilities for both level and arena structure and exciting new elements to verticality.

Traversal is only the tip of the iceberg when it comes to this grappling hook, as this will become a very close friend during a firefight. As one of many weapon mods in the game, the grappling hook can be attached to your trusty shotgun allowing you to throw yourself in the face of demons. Launching yourself around a combat arena lends itself to some exciting glory kills or even escape routes if in imminent danger. A very welcome addition to the Doom Slaying family.
