Sledge's hammer is too slow

[inscantu]

I know it's not meant for kills, but you'd at least hope the sledgehammer would be half as fast as a knife when killing enemies.

I literally am at a point where the animation will show the sledgehammer go through the person. It's not a miss, it's just that there is a short delay between the animation ending and the person dying.

It’s a sledgehammer, not a kitchen knife

if it were as fast as a melee then it would kinda be op think about it this way he opens walls up and doors he is a 2 speed (i think ) and he could open up a wall faster than ash and micheal myres would not even be a fair minigame and he already has the best secondary he dosen't need a fast hammer and besides it wieghs like 40 pounds not 3

"then it would kinda be op" it's a melee weapon. Not asking for a much faster swing, it's that I literally see it go just through my enemies, then I die. And on the killcam, I had basically finished my swing, but since the animation wasn't over, they didn't die. Maybe 10% faster, so I can actually meme on some people.

If you want to kill someone point blank without shooting, the knifing option is there. Sledge's hammer, while it can potentially kill someone at melee range, (albeit a very terrible option due to how slow it is and lack of range) the hammer is intended to be used as a BREACHING TOOL. Honestly, it would be fun to be able to hit a player with the hammer while the enemy is moving about, but there's already (as I have stated) the option to knife. If you really want to hammer someone down, just put them in a DBNO state and sledge them afterwards.

if it goes through them then you missed, it has a the same kill animation as when you hit a wall

[dog]

it doesnt have extra range either, its the same as a knife

[primobrainlet]

Imagine just smashing through walls at knife speed, and if he was 3 speed just rushing in with ash and iq while smashing everyone

[inscantu]

No, as in during the hitting animation (I know the difference between a hit and miss, that's how long I've been trying to get a legit hammer kill) I always die because it takes forever for the animation to go through. And you're telling me that as Sledge, you'd rather knife somebody than try to hit them with the hammer? Haven't you ever heard that memes are dreams?

I know it's a breaching tool m8, I have over 400 hours, just let me live my dreams of smashing people with a big ol' sledgehammer.

Edit: Basically the animation is so slow it takes a seriously retarded person to not kill me

[inscantu]

I updated the name to have proper grammar

[OutlawKilo]

Sure i guess. It wouldn't be that powerful of a buff and honestly a buff wouldn't hurt.

Thank you! Bless your soul, for agreeing with the opinion of some random guy online.
