*The Hammer may be known as a great CQB weapon, but it is slower to compete against the [[Shotgun]]. Also, even though the energy sword lunges slightly slower, it has a farther lunge and can parry your attacks, but you cannot parry the sword carrier's attacks. If you find your self up against one of these weapons, create space between you and your opponent (you can knock them back with the shockwave if he's too close)and change to a long range weapon to take down the enemy. Although, it is important to remember that the [[Mauler]] is considered an easy target for the Gravity Hammer.
