What gun benefited from the nerfs/buffs most? The Hjammerdiem SG. Before the update, it was a niche gun. Not even worth using, since it did poor damage compared to the other heavy weapons. You got better mileage out of the Mossington then it, which was nuts...and sad...all at once. Post update? It's the most godly gun on the game...period. It's Albert Pujols is he were a 3-0 count. Steven Jackson with a pancaked defensive line. D-Wade with a clear lane to the hoop. In other words...it's instant offense. Granted, the range and rate of fire svcks...it IS a shotgun afterall. But the damage more then makes up for it now. There was no reason on Earth why the Carb and the Euston had more damage per round then the Hjammerdiem. Such isn't the case anymore. If you hit your target center of mass within 15 meters...they're going down. A heavy falls with 3-2 shots. A medium goes down with 2-1 shots. And lights? Sorry crackhead...but if you're dumb enough to get in my killbox you deserve to get blow across the room. And that's WITHOUT damage buffs.

With damage buffs, 1-2 shots for all body types. Improved damage? OHK...period. And in the hands of a HVY soldier with Armor Piercing rounds? Let's just you have about as much chance surviving a close range fight with one as you being in a shark tank wearing a meat vest. And then add said damage buffs to that soldier...and you have the baddest mofo in the match. (Mofos if there are more then one). All of the heavy weapons now are vastly improved, but by far the tweaks to the Hjammerdiem make it stand out above the others. Whatever is at the end of the gun...dies. I'm still noticing a lot of human players standing toe to toe with me in close quarters (most using the Carb-9) and the results are vastly different then pre-patch. Before, I'd be a dead man. Unable to properly evade their hail of fire and unrealistic damage. Now? I center my reticle on their chests, hit fire, and watch them crumble to the ground in awkward and funny ways. And that's how it should be.

I completely agree with the OP on this one. It IS Hammer Time!!!

It's literally the #1 reason i've seen a huge increase in Heavy body types now, alone. I haven't tried it out yet myself cause I rarely use the Heavy (only have 1/4 of my characters as a Heavy "now"). And he's a Medic/Tank

It's definately seeing alot of play i'll give ya that...

I completely agree with you. I played with the hammer today and it definitely showed a difference in damage. I was mowing folks down with it.
