Let's Discuss Hammer!

[TTK_229 1,080]

I think that the best rival to hammer might be Rico. Hammer can destroy up to a viking in one clip, while Rico can destroy up to a titan.

Rival, Equivalent, or Alternative.

 

Makes sense though. I've used both extensively and now that my focus is on Rico again, I never use Hammer. When I am looking for something different, I turn to Twins and Smoky. Really different- Isida :P

Rico is stupidly easy to avoid by just moving your hull a little more, as most rico tankers do not even turn turret, even gens. 

 

I have M4 hammer, it's definetly one of the best weapons to be first in POLY DM for example. Always loved it for small maps. Can do serious damage, only bad thing, is that people kind of switched their thunder protections to hammer protection nowadays. I always have at least 8/16 who have at least 30+ for hammer in DM.

Sooner or later you are going to meet a tanker in battle who knows what they are doing with Ricochet....

 

...I'm looking forward to it.

And untile the slumbering king awakens, I'll continue to see Ricochet as a turret for inaccurate DD spammers.

Twins and Ricochet get a bad rep because pretty much 99% of people who don't turn their turrets use one of these two - and they usually score poorly. However, once you meet someone who knows what they're doing with them.. ooh :P

So you mean bouncing balls? ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

I've played both extensively. I still don't quite get buzz, but I guess people have their preferences.

I'd go into detail, but that's not the point of the topic: That would be hammer.

Feel free to PM me for further discussion. :3

Hammer (Jackhammer) was just a bridge between M2 and M3 Rico.

 

But it is good for sneezing light hulls right off the map. :P

[TheUltimateTroller 18]

Is anvil kit worth it? It seems pretty expensive for m1 kit. I heard dictator is not very good at m1. If not, is tsunami kit worth it? And finally- since hammer and firebird are OP and have many protections- are they effective weapons in general further on??

[deafkid 1]

I was thinking that we can make the hammer like the M3 XT but thats what the I was going to paint it like an XT and its a hard work...

[putri_Superman 9]

Hammer and Railgun  i like most  :wub: 

[Prince.Of.Life 85]

Hammer 38/50  :wub:

[NewbieCake 3,067]

Every time I use Hammer and shoot it I can't help but think of slapping someone in the face. Hammer is literally the equivalent to that.

More like shouting in your face.

[The-Operator219 1,929]

I always saw it as a very violent sneeze.

[Strikechard123 241]

I bought hammer m1 in my alt account. With viking, is really OP! It can 1 shot a lot of things with DD :D

depends

M3 hammer 

Light hulls 1 shot 

Medium hulls 2 shots

Heavy Hulls 2 or 3 shots 

[Dliver 436]

If you think stock Hammer is bad, try it with the alteration that narrows the shot pattern. This alteration turns the Hammer into a truly deadly medium / short range fighter, not just short range. I absolutely love it. It kills everything in sight. I know people think the slower turret rotation seriously negates the upside of the more compact shot, but I'm also a Vulcan driver and I'm used to using hull turns to compensate for slow turret movement, and in death matches and tight maps it rocks. In fact I'm having success with it on every map. It's also awesome on the long shots taking out fleeing light hulls that think they are safe. Single shot kills on light hulls at maximum distance are not unusual. I'm having great fun with it. The key to getting the most out of it though, is learning to use hull turns along with rotating the turret to quickly come around to shoot quickly. If you do that then your Hammer will truly hammer everything on the map.

yep, hammer alteration is deadly.

especially the impact, knocking out the enemies aim

I like hammer for trolling and that's pretty much all that I use it for. THUG LIFE

I'm just starting to use hammar and i really like it, but i still need work.(my k/d is terrible)

 

should i use hornet or viking with it?

Both are very good with hammer.  I rarely have used hammer so I can't pretend to give you amazing advice here, but what I do know is that both combinations are very good and pretty versatile. Hornet is probably better on the larger (and more open) maps like Skylark and Viking would be better in maps like Noise and Polygon. In addition both hulls are faster at m3 and hammer's range is much better at m3, so while at m0 the range paired with the slower speed of viking might feel inadequate, it's not bad at m3.  Hornet and Hammer might get you a bit more kills at your rank, though.

 

With hornet make sure you utilize hammer's range to it's fullest; go up in ranged gun's faces and back away from melee guns.  With Viking you have less mobility., but more durability. I would just try them both out and see which one you like better! :) 

 

P.S. (Keep in mind the fact that Viking's speed is greater at m3 and so is hammer's range.
