Lateral thrusters

The lateral thrusters is an item in the Doom which is available only in multiplayer. It is a passive item that will propel the user into the air at a sharp angle, and can be activated while on the ground or in mid-air.

Tactical analysis
In multiplayer, the lateral thrusters can be used in many ways, chiefly for reaching areas that can't be cleared with a double jump or to correct a mistimed jump and grab a ledge. Players using the thrusters can also confuse their opponents with a sudden flight and follow up with a killing blow from above or escaping the fight entirely to restock and replenish health.
