Torch Hammers are devastating Vex heavy weapons that fire explosive Void bolts and deal significant splash damage. The Torch Hammer fires projectiles composed of strange matter, mauling targets with exotic particle decay and deadly radiation. [1] When active, one can see the weapon's energies swirling around the barrels.

Gameplay

The Torch Hammer fires Void bolts in a volley, with a considerable range and rate of fire. Players should be wary of standing in the open when one of these weapons is on the field. It is the favored equipment of Minotaurs, who use their height to bombard players and even force them out of cover. They are also fond of firing it while charging in for a melee attack. Rarely, it can be found in the hands of Goblins, especially high ranked ones. Though they are shorter and less precise than their larger brethren, limiting their range, they make up for it by fielding the Hammer in large numbers.

The Taken use a version of the Torch Hammer that fires Solar explosives at a faster rate, though with lower splash damage. It can be especially dangeous in the hands of the invisible Taken Minotaurs, who can easily set up ambushes with it.
