Will Black Hammer dethrone Icebreaker?
[url=http://db.planetdestiny.com/items/view/560601823]Black Hammer[/url]
Its impact is notably higher then Icebreakers (32 while Icebreaker's is 25) and it has the new perk "White Nail" with the effect "Rapidly landing three precison shots will refill the magazine."
This means that even though you only have 3 shots in the mag, it is functionally infinite once you are landing only precision shots. The dps this will have on bosses is crazy.
I think people are going to be praying for this drop and it will be a "must have". Especially since it frees up your exotic spot. THe only thing Icebreaker has on it is that it's much more forgiving and you don't need to land precisions.

Situational. BH: Bosses with easy crits die extremely fast. ( Walker, Sepkis, Nexus, Archon Priest, Goliath Tank, Templar, Atheon.) IB: Better if you aren't able to get 3 crits on a boss. Overall, IB is an all around weapon. Black Hammer is a boss killer.

4 通の返信it will never dethrone icebreaker while you scope in on enemies from 688864336 miles away and they somehow know to move... making it impossible for three headshots. of course after the first shot they can, but not while just scoping. its dumb.

This post is old, but how I see the BH and IB discussion is that Black Hammer is more for bosses (e.g. Sepiks Prime, The Nexus, Archon, Phogoth) and Ice Breaker is more for everything else, since even if you miss you'll get the ammo back.
