What an absolutely ridiculous weapon to put on the map in a KOTH game type. It just guarantees the team holding it a win. Just played on recharge and we were up two zero until they got a grav hammer and just camped in three hills to win. Absolutely ridiculous

People don’t know how to bait them out or recklessly charge hills and get destroyed by the hammer weilder no doubt.
I still say, and will keep saying, the hammers has too much damage radius. It’s tarturus’ gavel 2.0 without the wave effect.
But ya know, desync right? What can ya do?
Are they increased hammer damage radius in S2 by the way?
The thing is people always killing me with hammer from far away, full shield, half shield, above me, below me, it doesn’t matter. That is so annoying.
Just imagine New Breaker map, I’m on that stairs near the crate and the grav lift and another guy walking out of that structure, using his hammer right inside the doorway and l’m dead with a full shield, like what?
You know you can shoot them in the head from a distance right

The hammer could benefit from some tweaking, sure, but it’s hardly broken.
Players who spawn with a Sidekick have a perfect weapon to take out a GravHam wielder. All you have to do is maintain distance, pop the shields and grab a headshot.
Hammer and sword have always been vulnerable to that strategy in Halo games (although Infinite’s sword lunge feels a bit ridiculous at times).
Grenades, grenades, and more grenades!

King of the Hill just magnifies how different a game can play if there isn’t friendly fire. Just spam those grenades into the hill because you don’t have to worry about killing your teammates.

Shhhhhh… the sword lunge is perfect don’t give them any ideas.
There is a repulser on recharge, try using that to push them back, also utilize grenades, keep your distance and coordinate a plan of attack with your team to take them out before getting in the hill and remember the 6 P’s
My favorite item in KOTH games!

Just throw nades on the hill
To be honest many hills are pretty open so I don’t see problem with hammer. I played koh randomly from the start of S2 in ranked and social and it never was a problem to my.
Hammer and sword more annoying in other modes.
