Strategy Guide[]

	This section outlines a strategy.
	Feel free to add tips, tricks and general advice about the topic.

• Controlling the recoil of the Hammer Assault Rifle enables far more accurate fire.
• The Hammer Assault Rifle is arguably the best all round weapon in the game, being good at short and long range combat, and excelling at mid range. It should be the player's go to weapon if the player is in a position to swap another weapon out.
• Along longer sight-lines, firing in bursts or tap-firing single shots can improve overall effectiveness, as consistent fire can make the weapon's degree of spread severe, especially when paired with strafing.
• Crouching with this gun resets its first shot accuracy faster, allowing for more accurate shots. Crouching also reduces its hipfire spread and spread in general.
• The Hammer Assault Rifle has a high DPS and excels at breaking enemy structures fast.
• This weapon is mostly effective at medium range (e.g. 1-2 tiles away from the player/entity) due to its accuracy and decent rate of fire. It can also be used at long range, however this is less effective because of spread. A weapon such as a DMR would be better for long-range usage.
• Close range usage is sometimes useful to quickly deal damage to players/entities and catch them off-guard, but fast-firing weapons such as an SMG will be more useful for this.
• It is unwise to challenge players wielding Sniper Rifles, as they can instantly eliminate the player with 1-2 well-placed shots while you need to attempt to whittle away at their health one shot at a time. Instead, close the gap between the enemy by placing some structures to get within the sniper's effective range.

Counters[]

• The Hammer Assault Rifle has a smaller than average magazine, so using a weapon such as an SMG with a larger magazine in close range engagements can be advantageous when against an opponent wielding the Hammer Assault Rifle.
• Using a weapon with a red dot sight of sorts at range can also be beneficial against a player wielding the Hammer Assault Rifle, as while it is accurate, the Hammer Assault Rifle has a bit of horizontal recoil that can be difficult to control at range.
