Controls
Primary Fire : Swings the hammer, on-hit creates a small explosion. Secondary Fire : Activates Forge Masters Guard, any damage blocked will transfer to Forge Charge. If stamina is below 10, uses forge charge to block instead. Reload : Swings the hammer over-head, activates Strike The Iron on hit if Forge Charge is above 10, increasing the power of the explosion and the melee hit depending on Forge Charge, any kills from Strike The Iron generate more Temporary Armour depending on Forge Charge. Weapon Ability : Brings the hammer up over Kit's head and then slams it down upon landing or after a period of time being on the ground, erupting huge explosions that travel forward along with dealing 200 AOE Damage around the impact point.

Lore
This section is for the In-game Lore Files from the HUB. They can be considered spoilers if you have yet to unlock them for yourself. Hell-Steel Ignition "Forged in the fires of Hell itself, rumoured that the legendary smith who did it was given a shitty deal with the demons who let him use the fires. His soul lives on in the hammer he created and has gone insane as a result, spreading explosions, fire and chaos wherever it is wielded." "Hitting anything with the hammer causes it to recoil violently with an explosion that doesn't hurt me, but will make practically everything that is caught in the powerful blast to fall over or get stunned for a brief moment. Killing stuff seems to fuel the forge masters soul inside the hammer which I can unleash with a heavy overhead swing for an even bigger explosion or an overhead slam for a wide area of effect." "It's not all destruction however, holding the hammer close to me radiates some sort of calming warmth that negates a lot more stamina loss than usual when I block stuff and it fuels the forge masters soul in return too."
