[@TheXclusiveAce]

Looks like the lack of sleep with my baby caught up to me and I totally missed the stats with the Quick Attack (Left Trigger) so here they are: Damage: 150 Pre-Hit Delay: 250ms 2 Hit Speed: 517ms Range: 2.2m Max Hit Angle: 35 Degrees (All of these stats are identical to the Gutter Knife and Karambit)

[@imwiththescienceteam7192]

thanks ace appreciate the follow up

[@bendube5497]

Awesome! The numbers are all we really need for comparison. Thank you so much for all your hard work on these weapon breakdowns.

[@Alpha_2-6]

No worries, you are all good Ace. Praying that you can get a little more sleep soon hopefully XD

[@Matty-kelly]

As a father of 3 the long sleepless nights are worth it

[@yaya142g.5]

I was about to say what about the poke?🥺

[@mrmeme4203]

The Sledgehammer has a secondary fire like the Soulrender, and I belive that it is faster than the main attack

[@Askelli]

Yeah! I was surprised he missed that in this video, I think he should include that in the video since it does make for a different experience

[@brziperiod]

​@@Askellihe did admit it was effectively the fatherhood debuff that made him forget

[@JGROVES716.]

The soulrender was fire. That’s what I used to unlock the riot shield. 3 melee kills without dying 10 times n I did it in Warzone not small map mw3 lol 😂 took a little while but I got it

[@SmoovyNovaFan]

the drawback of the 650ms time to hit after pressing the button is genius balancing, could have been the drawback for commando pro knifing back in MW2 2009

[@bryanwilliams7817]

I honestly don’t see how people think it’s unbalanced the heavy attack takes forever it’s best used if your waiting for someone to come around a corner the lock on and lunge is to funny but trying to run and gun with the sledge hammer using the quick attack makes it just as affective as the soul render quick attack so it seem balanced to me

[@michaelwolff9793]

You can use the left trigger to hit quicker then the normal right trigger just like the soulrender

[@Shuganuttz]

All you have to do is read his pinned comment. He already mentioned it

[@michaelwolff9793]

@@Shuganuttz I posted it right when he posted the video. Way before the pinned comment. But thank you for your concern

[@foxmulder2941]

Good to know because I only use it if it is part of a daily challenge.

[@Just_a_commenter]

Goodness, that melee range is nuts. Didn't expect to see a Commando-eqsue lunge with a sledgehammer lol

[@epicgaming7558]

Another thing to note is that the left trigger/ads button preforms a faster attack. I haven’t tried it for myself but Im guessing the quicker attack has way less range

[@karatsukiawildfemboy2326]

it has NO lunge AND it deals like 2.5x the damage of the lunge melee in zombies

[@reesemoore8542]

Sledgehammer same speed as a small knife... hell yeah

[@Steelwolf579]

With this hammer you can channel your inner tagilla and smash up some PMC's

[@JoshuaFearn]

I live that the enemies hit with the hammer just go flying after getting smacked lmao

[@onepunchjohnuk4360]

Ace why didn't you mention the secondary quick hit the hammer can do with the ads trigger?

[@karatsukiawildfemboy2326]

TKO didn't realize that the "heavy" melee has a huge lunge and kept trying to get close to enemies before hitting them too but at least he noticed both melee attacks

Thanks for the great video and your quick addition of the quick attack stats! Good luck with your new baby!

[@PranjalDhungana]

did ace not realize that the left trigger has a faster melee with shorter range?? lol

[@Elite04232]

It’s in the pin comment!🤨

[@PranjalDhungana]

@@Elite04232 it wasn't there when I commented.

[@quentinsjblackbird]

Great job man! 😀

[@Alpha_2-6]

I haven't gotten to use it yet, but the sledgehammer definitely does sound very unique. I wish we got more melee weapons like this, it kinda sucks when they have filler weapon content and then don't make it unique at all

[@marioguerrero1305]

We all know the left trigger is faster but, does it counter the riot shield like the soulrender?

[@iamGLOP]

First off the hammer is absolute broken in the 8bit mode. I didn't see Ace talk about it directly but with the alt swipe its not just a click and you have a delay before swinging, you can hold that down and prepare for an enemy or jump at them holding it (jump at them inside 5.3 meters and its gg if you had it held its broken). Try it out in that game mode tho, jump off favela onto someone holding that button you will lock on its funny af to see. Pair it with compression plate and you can literally jump spam the whole game locking on to people multiple in a row cause of the healing

[@BenjaminTrapp]

Does the sledgehammer's alternate fire/attack mode have the same speed and damage as the primary attack mode? Or is it different like the Soulrender sword that has a primary attack mode with longer mini-finishing move animation vs. the faster secondary attack mode.

[@captainkill21]

Sledgehammer is fun AF. The charged up melee gives crazy range but it comes at the cost of a slower charge up where enemy can just shoot you

[@lucidsilversky7034]

My favorite part of this vid is just watching the rag dolls. Also I love that you don't go melee only with a riot shield on. Respect++

[@ikepigott]

How does the sledge perform against the riot shield? Is there a counter?

[@starlight8425]

Hello, would you consider making a remake of the video about the weapons that can kill killstreaks the fastest? I believe the incendiary rounds were nerfed and no longer deal as much damage as before. It would be helpful to know if there are any new methods to counter killstreaks.

[@runescp0wn123]

Does it kill through riot shields like the sword?

[@alexmaurice4274]

Did they buff care packages ?

[@CUMMNurWAY2]

Did the 5 camo grind for this thing earlier today. I'll never use it again. Thank God I'm not too concerned with K/D ratio. It takes commitment running around only using this thing camo grinding, UGH!

[@MavicAVF]

So that’s why I got melee’d by people from a mile away in small map playlists.. I thought I was going crazy, why are people going so heavy with a melee yk?

[@INFAmadeOFF]

how are able to pull pre hit delay and damage per hit data?

[@Gamebit257]

They added the Sledgehammer. When they'll add the Treyarch?

[@PLANDerLinde99]

That one dude in his game dressed like he works at fucking McDonalds XD

[@alext.7517]

Can this hit thru riot shields like the sword?

[@TheXclusiveAce]

Nope

[@kamranhussain4419]

I did not know that the RT attack has such a range, I thought it was just a troll attack that made players go flying, was using the LT attack pretty much exclusively to get the camos

[@13001313s]

does it counter riot shields?

[@captainkill21]

No

[@Sam-Fisher]

Nice content

[@RJrockstars]

Ace you completely forgot that you have a secondary swing option using the ADS button/L2/LT. This is much faster but has far less lunge, and still a OHKO.

[@No_Time_To_Explain.]

What's the stats for the fast attack

[@RotaryPoweredRX]

i garuntee the run speed will be nerfed shortly just like they do with any new weapon

[@antscardenas534]

Is anyone having a bug were your audio is glitching

[@Olinke]

Is there a reason to use the slower melee one or is it just like the Solerender?

[@karatsukiawildfemboy2326]

quick melee has no lunge

[@bobdavis4835]

Also the slower attack has a knock back effect which can be pretty hilarious

[@DayOfTheDumpster]

Would have liked the Sledgehammer to also have been a counter to riot shields. Need more than just one mele weapon that does that.

[@IncredibleFlyinSquid]

Lunge range is actually 5.7m, but you need to be at 5.3 to hit your target if they're not moving.

[@djxero9461]

Hey guys i need a bit of help. Since lauch of s4 reloaded, my game has been stuttering non stop. Both mp and zombies is unplayable. Ive checked home internet amd checked console (xbox one) and there no issues. No high ping or anything. I havent been able to complete any challenges this week so far. Im at my wits end and the end of my patience.

How do you miss that the Sledgehammer has two different attack modes in a breakdown video like this?

[@howdoichangemyusername9802]

If you press the left trigger, the melee speed is faster.

[@NoahHawkins-zk2pi]

The sledge has a faster move that is only a bit worse because it does a little bit less damage

This is like the commando perk in OG MW2. Haha

[@alexisramirez3338]

Can this beat shields like the sword?

[@alexandermcbrien264]

No

[@IncredibleFlyinSquid]

People who think that a sledgehammer is heavy and hard to run with have never held a sledgehammer before in their entire life. All of the weight is in the head, so as long as you're holding underneath the head like the hilt of a sword, you should be able to run pretty fast with a sledgehammer

[@little_saturn]

holy fuck that is that hit radius on melee weapons lmao

[@Scuzz1204]

So wait they nerfed the lunge range of all melee weapons prior including the one that’s supposed to have the best lunge range (the pickaxe) for balance then add in a melee weapon that completely throws near all the other melee stats out the water entirely ffs man

[@bigsmoker21]

Finally a fun usable melee weapon, love to see it 🙏🏻

[@Marcial.Oliveira]

Its fine... just let tomahank in letal and every time you need a fast melee, use it, and other cases... use de sledgehammer.

[@Si-ur7pi]

This game is unplayable, saw a you tuber saying to alter a setting and uninstall bits of the game you don’t use, but it’s made no difference. For me this game is unplayable at the moment, so annoying.

[@yourgrandpabillyjohnson1888]

does it go thru riot shields??

[@karatsukiawildfemboy2326]

not according to my testing

[@masterdoge7219]

The animation on this is so bad that I have trouble taking anything else about this weapon into consideration. I get the motion they were going for, but they really botched it. Could be the most OP weapon ever and I wouldn't be touching it.

[@DRAMADY]

how is it humanly possible u can run faster with a sledgehammer than a knife

[@MetalZeroFour]

Man that is one janky ass animation. Hopefully they’ll smooth that out to make the Sledgehammer more satisfying to use

[@Sam-Fisher]

Hello

[@dr.evil2some847]

Not going to watch again, but did anyone see Ace use the quick attack at all in the video..? I legitimately think Ace didnt even know it existed when he made the video... Lol if thats the case, welcome to fatherhood my friend! No hate, i just think its hilarious, bcuz i can relate...

[@pivorsc]

Reincarnation of Commando Perk

[@dr.evil2some847]

With the hit delay, it cant b considered the best melee... I could see it Excel in poor lobbies where being a bit at range qont matter as much, but any mid to high level lobby i assume u have to b better off with just about any other melee... I do think its the coolest one tho... Hands down... Yeeting cats with a sledgehammer... Nothing more American than that...

[@Stalin99]

When did they nerf it to a two shot. Literally useless to use the slow attack

[@Lordmadara.]

Nothing special with fighting riot shields like Soulender?

[@URBONED]

It’s commando all over again

[@mikemasaki8193]

LMAO no it's not. Commando was a lot faster and you couldn't defend yourself. This weapon as ace said, you can kill it's user once or even two times over in the time it takes them to actually hit you. if anything that justifies it's otherwise absurd range. not like commando as a perk wasn't even more fucking absurd, remember tac knife pistols allowing people to stab you from fucking 10 - 15 meters away, over just 5?

I can smell it already this video will be taken down as soon as he realises there is secondary melee here, also you can prime the "heavy" melee by holding the button and then just thunk the enemy as soon as you see them around the corner In Zombies at the FASTER melee hit does way more damage than the huge lunge melee like over 2.5x also its mindblowing how both Ace AND TKO who SPECIALIZES in melee STILL haven't learned to experiment. Literally the first thing I do when new melee pops up is test both mouse buttons and the default melee promt on MnK (V) and see what they do, ALWAYS
