Part 12

Perform a Hammer-Launch: Aim your impact hammer at the desired destination for your teammate. Click the alt-fire button once (do not hold it down).

Charge the Launch: Immediately after setting the aim with alt-fire, press and hold the primary-fire button. The hammer will begin charging.

Teammate Interaction: A teammate can then walk, jump, or dodge into the charged hammer to be launched.

Launch Distance/Height: The longer the hammer is charged (up to a few seconds), the farther or higher the teammate will be launched.

Aiming is Key: The direction of the alt-fire aim almost completely determines the launch direction.

Myth Busting: A single alt-fire click is sufficient; multiple clicks or holding alt-fire do not affect distance.

Double/Triple Launches: Teammates can arrange themselves to hit multiple hammers sequentially for even greater distances.

Movement Matters: Jumps are generally for height, dodges (especially side-dodges) for distance, and walking is situational.

Hammer-Jumping Integration: A teammate hammer-jumping into charged hammers can achieve even greater distances or heights.

Single Player Note: Hammer-launching is generally ineffective against bots as they cannot be instructed to jump or dodge into the hammer.

Combined Technique: To increase efficiency, you can set a hammer-launch (single alt-fire), then charge it by holding your hammer-jump bind. This allows you to use the charged hammer for launching, hammer-jumping, or attacking an enemy, depending on the situation.
