Gar! Gorarr! My dad's a scientist! GWARRRR!!!! – Increased damage and critical hit bonus.

Usage & Description[]

The Hammer Buster boasts very high raw stats with a 50% additive crit bonus and 15% multiplicative crit bonus.

Due to the semi-automatic firing mode and magazine size, the Hammer Buster is best utilized for medium range combat.

Trivia[]

  • The name of the weapon is a reference to the Hammerburst Assault Rifle in the Gears of War series of games and novels.
  • The flavour text is a reference to the webcomic Gears of Awesome by Egoraptor, in which the father of the main character, Marcus Fenix, is a scientist, spoken in the same violent vernacular as the webcomic.
  • While most legendary guns use the manufacturer's unique barrel for that type of weapon, the Hammer Buster uses a Dahl assault rifle barrel.
