THUNDER HAMMER DOUBLE TAP

[Gash]

I'm not sure if its a bug but I cannot do the "double ground slam" with the thunder hammer. I've read the forums saying its a light attack and then the double heavy attack but nothing is working. I know i'm not the only one either. Someone help please!

Same problem here cannot get it to work!

I have a max level assault class and noticed the same issue. I had tried over and over to get the double tap to function but it doesn't seem to.
+1

Ensure you have the perk (duh)
Queue the second slam before the first even finishes

[Bob Baratheon]

Ok yeah you need the "Seismic Chain" perk for the Thunder hammer just realised i didnt even have it! (Derp)

[XTS]

It is just tricky to do, keep trying it's not bugged.

Hey, just wanted to make sure there isn't a misunderstanding here, because i sure misunderstood. The ground slam is NOT when you jetpack into the air and then do the melee attack down onto the unsuspecting enemies of the EMPEROR, which slams you into the ground. No. The ground slam for the Thunder Hammer, if you equip it, go into a mission and then press escape (or the button equivalent to go into the pause menu) you can see the moves of the Thunder Hammer on the right side. And there you can see the Ground Slam is just a regular combo. To do it, you just have to do 1x normal melee attack (tap melee button) and then follow it with 1x heavy melee attack (Hold melee button). You can just do that twice now. So you can do 1x normal melee attack (tap melee button) and then follow it with a heavy melee attack (Hold melee button) AND THEN follow it up with ANOTHER Heavy melee attack (Another Ground Slam).

I thought the Ground slam was the one you did after you had gone airborne, which it is not.

works 100%. make sure you have seismic chain under artificer on the thunder hammer, the +1 icon.

then:
light attack > heavy (hold) > heavy (hold)

as long as you begin holding the 2nd heavy at any point during the animation, including recovery, of the first it will slam again. the window is huge.

Unfortunately this does not work for me. I've tried every type of button combination I can think of.

Tap -> Hold (Just kept holding)
Tap -> Hold (until I see the ground slam animation start) -> Release -> Hold
Tap -> Hold (until the hammer slams down) -> Release -> Hold
Tap -> Hold (until the hammer slams down) -> Release -> Tap
Tap -> Hold -> Release (tried several different timings during the slam down animation -> Hold

None of those are working for me. I tried resetting the perks and re-selecting them with no luck.

do NOT press any MOVEMENT KEYS while you do it

pressing FORWARD (or any other direction) will interrupt many combos on many weapons =(

literally why does this not work Seismic Chain. no matter what key stroke I do I cannot get a second ground slam to trigger

Its not a combo move, it's an upgrade of the charged heavy attack (the one where you hold for a second and half).

It's a cute move, but it's very, VERY hard to pull off as no mob will just look at you for 3 to 4 seconds without doing anything in higher difficulty.

Uhh yeah they will, most of them got hit by the first strike and are off their feet. The double hammer strike is amazing on ruthless.

Anything bigger than a minoris wont, and that's what count really.
Also minoris will be killed by the attack anyway so that double tap is literally pointless against them.
