{{Weapon versions|disambig={{thisisabout|weapon|doom5}}|doom1=Super shotgun|doom3=Super Double barrel shotgun (Doom 3)|doom4=Super shotgun (Doom 2016)}}The '''super shotgun''' returns as a [[weapon]] in [[Doom Eternal]], with a design mostly the same as its [[Doom (2016)]] predecessor. One detail in which it differs is an underslung grappling hook launcher known as the meat hook (which somewhat resembles a bayonet), the . The [[Doom Slayer]] can fire the meat hook into demons to traverse through the environment more swiftly and to easily move closer to demons to deal maximum damagewith the shotgun itself. In pre-release press footage, the Doom Slayer neurally links to a [[Revenant (Doom Eternal)|revenant drone]] in order to obtain this shotgun, which [[VEGA]] refers to as "a relic of your past" and "your property".
Another strictly cosmetic difference is that this weapon appears to be a cultural artifact of [[Argent D'Nur]] and bears an inscription running down the side of the barrel in a pseudo-{{wp|Semitic languages|Semitic}} script along with several runic motifs which was were previously established as being associated with that civilization in areas such as [[Argent Breach]] and [[Empyrian]]. This may indicate that the [[Doom Slayer]] has a historical connection with this particular shotgun.
This version of the super shotgun is the first time since the [[Alphas|pre-release]] versions of [[Doom]] that a weapon has been equipped with a underslung attachment or modification - the [[Assault rifle (Doom)|assault rifle]] originally intended for the game possessed a bayonet which was later replaced by the Doomguy's [[fist]]s.
