Simple question.

Almost all the Stats are same as Infernal Axe except COOLING DAMAGE and HEAT GENERATION. That is about it.

Should have been "MELT DOWN HAMMER" introduce 1st than Infernal Axe. This is so hilarious. I just had to get this off my chest..... There.

I think its a junky prize for people who failed to get the axe and also , it wont
be long for the devs to release ANOTHER physical axe which is even worse
than the meteor

I also agree. The Infernal Axe is taking over the meta with Lava Spray, and it's incredibly annoying. Players can be seen complaining about how the Infernal Axe needs a nerf, and I support them. When paired with a Lava Spray or two, the Infernal Axe absolutely shuts down most other mechs, even those pay-to-play players with 140+ cooling. Since this build is so powerful, creative non-meta builds are marked as an irrelevance as so many players use this extremely broken build. But here's the kicker: Now a new, even more broken heat melee weapon exists: the Meltdown Hammer. Seriously? All they did was copy the Infernal Axe's stats and replace the 12 max heat damage with 6 cooling damage. Same uses, heat generation, and even WEIGHT. Now, players can swap out their Axe for new, possibly more broken weapon and keep their weight the same. Heat mechs were already broken, and required a substantial nerf. Now this? Really Supermechs?
