- Players can take full advantage of Hammer Fall's long range sightlines by using weapons suited for mid to long range engagements. This includes the Reaper Sniper Rifle, Sovereign Sniper, Veiled Precision SMG, and Enforcer AR.
- However close range weapons can still be useful in certain parts of the map, particularly around A-Site.
- Gates are an important part of Hammer Fall, so learning how to use them properly is vital to succeed on this map.
