Throwing Hammers: do something to make them more appealing

I never see these being used, and apart from stones and smoke bombs, they are the only blunt throwing weapon. I think they deserve some love, it doesn't have to be more damage or anything, you could add another 1 to the pack or increase their accuracy or something.

ideas?

How else can I make an MC Hammer character built around throwing?

The only reason people don't use em is because of their weight.

Reduce weight to 3 and add 1 more ammo.

I would second the knockdown suggestion, and buff damage.

Leave them slow, heavy and inaccurate.

Make them difficult but potentially very rewarding if you can overcome all the handicaps.

+1 for knockdown and maybe +1 ammo.

I used throwing hammers and was surprised by how effective they are in melee. Easily my favorite throwing weapon, but the weight makes you extremely slow.

with the horrible axes nerf (2 instead of 3) I think the hammer will shine!

as a Mw throwing hammer owner back in the day, I swear they are awesome!!

the only reason why I traded them was because the other guy added like 100k...

hammer for life man!
So the new response to ranged ragers is not "get a shield", it is "learn to chamber ranged nub!"

They have more damage per stack now than heavy throwing axes, so they go that going for them. Ranged knockdown would be so fun, but I think Devs said it wasn't possible.
