Gravity Hammer 101
The Gravity Hammer in Halo 3 is similar to the Tartarus in Halo 2. This weapon will undoubtedly be Halo 3’s favorite weapon to use for pounding the enemies. The Gravity Hammer not only delivers a devastating blow when it hits the target. But even if you miss, the shockwave created would still be sufficient enough to cause damage to any enemy around.
Given that the Gravity Hammer is a melee weapon its range is pretty narrow. But despite this the shockwave created by the Gravity Hammer’s Blow is sufficiently powerful and can cause major damage to nearby opponents. The shockwave of the Gravity Hammer affects enemies that are within your reticule range, but those to the right and left, beside you and behind you only endure minor damage. Because of the weapon’s size, it is very easy to spot an enemy wielding the Gravity Hammer, in turn it makes it easy for the enemy to know what your weapon is. Also, it makes a distinct sound when swung that compromises stealth and the element of surprise. Given that it is heavy, the fire rate for the Gravity Hammer is very slow. It takes at least 2 seconds to wield this weapon.
The good thing about the Gravity Hammer is its ability to deliver an enormous blow to your opponent. If you are ambushing an enemy with the use of this weapon, you will invariably succeed in it. Added to its capability is that it can throw a moving vehicle of course just by the force of the shockwaves it generates.
When you are faced with an enemy who is using a rocket launcher, the Gravity Hammer becomes the best weapon in your arsenal since it can deflect the Rocket to the side. Don’t go around hitting things aimlessly with the Gravity Hammer. Keep in mind that there is a point of delay where you are unable to move and your opponents can fire at you and do major damage.
The Hammer is a great weapon, practice and use it well, be an expert at handling it. If you see enemies with it take them down as soon as you can before you come face to face with power of the gravity hammer.
