Overview[]
The Pain Hammer is a Tier 2 shotgun that fires 8 pellets, each dealing 24 damage, for a total of 168 damage. However, the Pain Hammer is slightly less accurate than the shotgun, giving it a slightly smaller effective range.
Because the Pain Hammer often deals chains of 48, 72, and 96 damage, the Pain Hammer pairs well with cannons, which deal high amounts of area based damage, and splatterguns, which deal relatively large amounts of damage.
Note, however, that the Pain Hammer is not without its drawbacks. Due to the low pellet count and high spread, the it features greater range limitations than the shotgun. Also, because it deals damage in multiples of 24, it requires slightly more shots to take out a full health/lightly armored player.
