Gravity Hammer

Learn how to wield the devastating Gravity Hammer in Halo Infinite. Discover its strengths, weaknesses, and strategies to crush your enemies with its massive AoE damage.

Alright, let's talk about the Gravity Hammer in Halo Infinite. This thing is an absolute beast, a true game-changer when you get your hands on it. It's a melee weapon, but don't let that fool you – it packs a punch that can clear out multiple enemies at once or instantly vaporize a single target. Think of it as your panic button for when things get hairy, or your secret weapon for dominating close-quarters combat.

Here's a quick rundown of its stats:

You start with a full battery, 100%, and each swing chews through 10% of it. In Ranked Arena, once that battery is dead, that's it for the match unless you find a new hammer. But here's the kicker: even when the battery's gone, you can still use its alternative attacks. These are mostly for single targets, so you'll need to be a bit more precise, but they still pack a wallop.

Strengths of the Gravity Hammer

The biggest draw here is obvious: insane damage and that sweet, sweet Area of Effect (AoE) blast. Nail a direct hit on pretty much anyone, and they're toast. Even a shielded enemy can go down in just two swings. For those caught in the blast radius but not directly hit, it usually takes two hits to finish them off, depending on how close they were to the impact. What's really cool is that even if the AoE doesn't kill them, it'll almost always strip their shields, leaving them wide open for a quick headshot from your other weapons. It's fantastic solo if you can sneak up on enemies, but it's also brilliant for supporting your team by weakening groups so they can be mopped up easily.

Weaknesses of the Gravity Hammer

Now, the downside. This hammer makes you a massive target, especially from a distance. If your opponent is good at dodging and aiming, they'll likely pick you off before you can even get close. Your best bet to counter this is to use cover, sprint towards them while firing your primary weapon, and then switch to the hammer when you're in their face. Another awesome trick is using the Grappleshot. You can latch onto surfaces or even enemies to quickly pull yourself in for a surprise hammer strike before they can react. Just be aware that there's a slight delay between swinging the hammer and the actual impact. It takes a little practice to get the timing down, but once you do, you'll be landing those crucial hits like a pro.

You can even use the hammer to catch enemies peeking around corners if you time your swing just right!
