The HAMR is a light machine gun from Call of Duty: Black Ops II.

Call of Duty: Black Ops II

Multiplayer

You unlock the HAMR at level 37 and its firing mode is quite similar to the AN-94. First, you fire seven bullets at 937 RPM before dropping into full-auto mode and permanently reaching only 625 RPM. The trigger can be cushioned, allowing you to continuously fire at the gun’s initial velocity. The damage of this light machine gun is medium and you need about three hits from the average distance, and even up to five from further distances if you want to kill someone. The rear and front sights are relatively clear, but the muzzle flash of the weapon can jump extremely into the frame, which can be prevented with a silencer. An optical attachment is recommended if you want to tickle the maximum range out of the HAMR. The grip also assists the player, as the weapon settles back into its original position more quickly after firing, but the effects are rather inconspicuous.

It’s best to give supporting fire with the HAMR. It simply lacks the easier handling of not-quite-heavy weapons, and the long time to go into the sights ensures that it’s better to wait until an enemy runs into your firing path. Although you can use the quick-draw grip to make sure that you can go into the sights faster, the weapon is still more meant to protect long runs and objects from the background.

After the January 26 patch, all light machine guns except the QBB LSW go into the sights faster.

Survival

The HAMR also appears in Survival Combat. It has 125 rounds in the magazine and 375 in reserve. The gun is really useful as it does a lot of damage, has a large magazine and reloads really fast for a light machine gun. When you punch the gun, the new name is “SLDG HAMR” and you can even punch it multiple times to cycle through the different attachments. Among them can be a reflex sight, ACOG sight, and a foregrip. Double fire malt beer is a good choice if you want to increase the damage even more, while speed cola takes care of the long reload time. You can also buy Stamina-Up to stay more mobile.

Info

• There is a barcode on the side of the HAMR.
• The name of the punched version, “SLDG HAMR”, is a reference to the word “sledgehammer”.
• When reloaded, the character uses a new magazine to knock out the old one, just like the FAL from Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 and the FAL OSW and AN-94 from Call of Duty: Black Ops II.
• On the underside of the HAMR is an unusable bipod.
• In terms of appearance, the HAMR is very similar to the SCAR-H and the SCAR-L.
• After patch 1.07, the HAMR got 30% more recoil along with some other weapons because it would have been really unfair otherwise.
• A sling was tied around the barrel, just like the Commando from Call of Duty: Black Ops.
• It’s one of the three weapons where the rate of fire changes the more you shoot, along with the AN-94 and the punched B23R.
• The place where you insert the magazine seems to have been broken open and repaired at one time.
• In multiplayer and survival combat, the first seven rounds are fired at the same rate of fire as the QBB LSW. In the campaign, however, the rate of fire is completely the same as the QBB LSW.
• The side of the gun reads “RAW EL PASO, TEXAS.”

Call of Duty

The Call of Duty series has existed since 2003 and in addition to various spin-offs, including for the handheld systems Nintendo DS and Sony PSP, 14 major titles of the series have now been released. Ever since the first part of the series, great emphasis has been placed on the online multiplayer mode in addition to the single-player campaign, which is also reflected in the development of the shooter series. Since the first Call of Duty, World at War, which was developed exclusively by Treyarch, each part also included cooperative challenges that you could play together with friends. The latest installment, Call of Duty: World War II, also features an extended multiplayer mode that puts you and your friends in the combat zones and famous battles of World War II. Using the divisions, you’ll be able to choose between the deadly sniper and the brute armored division and support your comrades in battle. In addition, World War II also has a zombie mode “Nazi Zombies”, as in its predecessor Call of Duty: Black Ops. Face the monsters of the Third Reich and win glory and honor.
