why is the gravity hammer so OP?

[PexilHart]

gravity hammers in this game are crazy OP, you dfon't even need to look at whoever you're trying to kill tohill em. you can also literally kill people through walls with it if the enemy is close enough to it. explosives don't even do near as much damage than it either, i have shot a rocket launcher right at someone's feet and they haven't died yet i've gotten a kill with a gravity hammer from half way across a room?? seems unbalanced honestly

I get what you're saying but it's working as intended. They've finally fixed it this season 5.

Previously it was a hit or missed, mostly missed using the hammer. It felt totally useless back then.

It's a power weapon, just like rockets so...

I need to figure out what the range of this weapon is TBH. Well, all three of them actually since there are two special versions too.

I get one shotted by Gravity Hammers that are like, more then a Scorpion Tank distance away from me even when most of my shields are intact.

The fact that people have issues with Swords being "OP" and not this though is rather amusing.

I noticed in Husky Raid the hammer is kinda OP compared to rockets or swords. Rockets only have 4 ammo. Swords required close distance. The freaking hammer feels like it has unlimited ammo, long distance -and a team can literally just spawn camp all day. Not fun for the receiving end, for sure.

SPAM WHAM BAM KAPOW!

One its a power weapon is it wasn't over powered then its not balanced.Two their was some under the hood work that seems to have fixed some consistency issues with it's ability to detect range as before it would sometimes think your closer then you are and enemies are further then they are. It still breaks(like any weapon in any game with any amount of lag), but its been more consistent then inconsistent for season 5

If this is a Husky Raid problem, I would say just try getting your own hammer. It's actually not that hard. If this is a general problem, I would recommend just getting a different weapon and taking them out at range. It's simply a situational issue.

Should the grav hammer not op?

[Arquitens]

its a power weapon

It's hard to say. I thought the Sword was fine but they decided to nerf it a few months ago. People stating that it was "too good" in close combat situations...

Luckily it's still usable, but you'll trade off with others if they melee and your low on shields.

As someone who extensively used the hammer before and after the buff: I feel like it has a range so massive it's not even fair. The kill range is enormous. I recorded a random Fiesta game where I got a 15-killstreak just with hammers, the range is m a s s i v e. A guy ran away from me at full speed and he still got splattered at a range the shotgun would barely hit.

Maybe the shotgun needs a slight buff now, then. Maybe just narrowing the pellet spread a bit to increase its range and potency against the newly-buffed hammers.

yes, a situation i personally encounter in every match i've played that's included a gravity hammer. i've been on both ends of the hammer and i still think it's op. and before you tell me it's cus "it's a power weapon" it's not. It is by far one of the most powerful power weapons, it's high damage, easy to use and has the range the size of a scorpion tank which to my experience is absolutely nothing compared to most other power weapons

[Kitt 🌟 Stargazer]

It feels like a Rocket Launcher honestly, except you can only use it against enemies around you, but can keep on using it for a while before it's out of ammo.

Well, I suppose other close range weapons meant for combating the Gravity Hammer need a slight buff as well, or the Gravity Hammer just needs a debuff back to normal, then.

Melee is god awful with the sync issue. I get punched and Hit with the Sword with 20 Ft lunges. Its terrible. Noting like seeing a man fly towards you when meleeing with a BR.

It is basically a short range rocket launcher. So imagine a rocket launcher, but for corners and small corridors. If you fight a gravity hammer where the gravity hammer has the advantage, ofcourse it is going to seem overpowered. As a power weapon, it is made to have a massive one-time advantage in a certain scenario
