Alteration of Hammer

[creeperskelly 1,281]

Since it seems like Hammer is way OP according to many people who have tried it I have a suggestion.

 

Since Hammer can spray shot on the ground why not weaken it a bit but give it the ability to destroy mines?

 

We really need something in the game to offset mines since only a tank running over them explodes them, or, the death of the player who laid them will cause them to disappear.

 

In order to destroy a mine the Hammer would have to be almost next to it and runs the risk of taking some damage by blowing it up.

hammer being able to remove mines??? you serious? If it will be able to do that than mines will not be usefull any more...

It would have a percentage chance of being successful at the risk of taking damage to the hull to some degree. Remember that it has a long reload time and is defenseless until it reloads.

NICE. Kill those maddening mines

Yeah, good idea. I remember on Lost Temple once, a wasp placed around 100 mines near the flag pedestal entrance and hid in the gap behind the house, There was no way to kill him and there was no way to destroy all the mines...

On the other hand though, it might not be fair to other guns, which can't destroy mines.

Well, as I said, it would only be effective at close proximity to a mine and would have a % chance of taking one or more out with a % risk of damage to the hull of the player attempting to detonate the mines.

 

Usually I end up sacrificing my tank to destroy a few mines intentionally so others can get in, but, on large maps enough time can pass for new mines to be placed.

Maybe in other turret, I dind Hammer is OP enough.
