Changes: Sledgehammer

Revision as of 23:04, 16 May 2017

The Sledgehammer is an exclusive special melee for Tank. This is tanks first special melee weapon, as well as the first special melee weapon not used on Shadow.

Strategies

This weapon has excellent mobility, but poor range and damage per second makes it unsuited for use as a primary weapon. Using this as a weapon pulled out in close quarters, or as a mobility tool are your best options.
Because of tanks inherently slow mobility even with this weapons high mobility stat, you are not going to be able to catch up to faster classes that are backing off while shooting you. This makes running away is a better option if you aren't pushing them into a corner, or being pushed into a corner yourself.
Running the Raging bull perk allows you to be more aggressive with this weapon, charging in mid range fights because of it's 50% damage reduction.
