The Rushdown Hammer is an upgraded variant of the Halbashi Workshop gravity hammer.[1]
Overview[edit]
Design details[edit]
- Main article: Gravity hammer (fiction)
The Rushdown Hammer is an upgraded variant of the Halbashi Workshop gravity hammer, notably painted in white coloration. It contains an upgraded gravitic core that increases its effective range, and it is made of composite materials that allow users to be more mobile,[6] though not in their running speed.[8]
Usage[edit]
The Rushdown Hammer was used by En'Geddon, a Jiralhanae Chieftain in the Banished, during the Battle for Zeta Halo. During the Zeta Halo campaign, he used the weapon in a combat encounter with John-117, though was defeated by the Spartan.[9] Prior to his death, he also used his Rushdown Hammer to fight other Banished soldiers in fighting arenas as punishment for those he deemed to have ambitions above their station. He noted that none were a match for the enhancements made to the hammer's gravitic core.[10]
In-game information[edit]
Halo Infinite[edit]
- Main article: Gravity hammer
In campaign, the Rushdown Hammer is a legendary weapon awarded to the player after defeating the High Value Target, En'Geddon. The weapon can be acquired at any Forward Operating Base, and grants the player increased movement speed and jump height,[5] much like the Duelist Energy Sword.
