Impact Hammer
A hydraulic sledgehammer with a secondary blow on weakened targets.
Overview
The Impact Hammer is a heavy melee weapon designed to punish enemies that are already weakened. Its defining trait is that it deals double damage to enemies at 50% health or lower, making it especially effective as a finisher rather than a weapon for opening a fight.
In practice, the Impact Hammer rewards timing and target selection. It is most valuable when used to clean up damaged enemies after they have been softened by other attacks, allowing you to end fights faster and conserve other resources. Because its bonus only applies once a target has dropped to half health, it is best treated as a weapon that converts an enemy’s low health into a quick kill.
- Use it to finish off enemies that have already taken substantial damage.
- Pair it with another weapon or damage source to bring targets down to the 50% threshold first.
- Save it for moments when you need to secure a kill quickly rather than for steady damage throughout a fight.
- Its attack set includes a normal swing and a power attack.
