Why Doesn't Anyone Use the Micro Missiles?

Maybe because:
- PB is in the meta way more, and consumes just 6 ammo per shot.
- PB results in fast quick-switching combos.
- MM consumes way more ammo = less ammo for Chaingun with shield mod, a good panic weapon. Chaingun results in more reliable falters vs. Hell+Dread Knight. plus the Baron.

MM gets to be super good with 30% damage boost on kills. I use them every time vs.
- Possessed demons
- Two Tyrants with other heavies
- Doom Hunter's sled

MM is different from MM with Bottomless Missiles mastery

With TAG 2 and them removing the chainguns shield to destroy stone imps im using MM alot more

As far as efficiency goes, Micro Missiles are pretty much the only mod that can effectively destroy possessed demons in TAG1's final fight, due to them having additional resistance to rockets, plus they're really darn good at killing them in general. They're also your main burst damage source in the base campaign until you get Lock-On Burst, provided you didn't get Full Auto instead (can be accomplished by leaving the modbot and then fast traveling to it at the end).

Because in the meta, quickswapping combos with precision bolt and rockets/ballista/super shotgun end up doing more DPS than micro missiles. Precision is also good for destroying weak points.

That does not mean that micro missiles is bad though; micro missiles allows for a ton of damage without having to quickswap and is unlockable very early in the game. That's the beauty of Doom Eternal - every weapon mod is viable, you don't have to limit yourself to one mod.

Also, don't think too hard on what other people are doing. You'll have more fun that way.

that's ridiculous, it's no way near as useful as meathook, both mods for the rocket, chaingun shield etc.

have you tried doing combos with it? PB + SSG, PB + B, and especially PB + RL which has the highest DPS in the game. this is because the PB has an animation cancel which makes combos extremely fast.

edit: i see you only have 36 hours in the game, in that case it's forgivable if you didn't know about this. just keep playing, and you will see how powerful it is eventually.

i know about quick switching. i just don't think quickswaps are more useful than oxygen like some people do.

Quickswaps are the most powerful thing in the game, and the PB is made for it. if you don't like it that's fine, however objectively quickswaps are the most useful and effective thing in the game. and therefore objectively, the PB is the most powerful weapon mod in the game.

I think micro missles are a good replacement for the chaingun early game but I feel like the scope is much more helpful in the way I play because it disables weakpoints

Except not everyone wants to quick swap between the two... ever think of that? Not everyone wants to play like that.

that doesn't change the fact it does the most DPS in the game. yeah sure you can use the micro-missiles for fun, but overall they are objectively worse.

Yes, but the part where I care about how much damage I do is absent. Dead is dead to me in Doom.

that's fine, play how you want. however Micro-Missiles are far from doing the most DPS in the game.
