Tiny Tina's Wonderlands allows players to mix and match classes to create unique combinations, and one of the Clawbringer's pairings, the Hammerzerker, combines their abilities with the Brr-Zerker. Here's a build that will make the most of this melee-centered class combination.
What is the Best Hammerzerker Build in Tiny Tina's Wonderlands?
This Hammerzerker build effectively uses melee power to overwhelm opponents, especially at lower Chaos Levels, and is an excellent way to power through the early-game content.
Skills
When playing as the Hammerzerker, it's best to prioritize melee boosting and elemental augments, especially, Oath of Fire, Oath of Thunder, Savagery, Awe, Indomitable, and Storm Smite.
There are four action skills as described by Gearbox for players to choose from when using the Hammerzerker, which you can see below:
- Cleansing Flames: Clawbringers summon their Hammer and slam it down to the ground, inflicting Melee Damage on all nearby enemies. This attack creates a Fire Nova that deals Fire Ability Damage to all nearby enemies.
- Storm Dragon's Judgement: Clawbringers summon a smaller version of their Hammer, hurling it at enemies. This attack deals Lightning Ability Damage to all enemies it touches and sticks wherever it lands. The Hammer deals continuous Lightning Melee Damage every second to all nearby enemies. Players can recall the Clawbringer's Hammer early to refund a portion of the cooldown.
- Dreadwind: The Brr-Zerker spins, slashing anything nearby with their melee weapon. Brr-Zerkers gain increased Movement Speed and Slow Immunity for a limited duration.
- Feral Surge: The Brr-Zerker leaps toward targets, dealing Frost Damage to all nearby enemies. Any Non-Boss enemies below a certain health percentage are instantly killed, and getting a kill with Feral Surge resets the cooldown.
We recommend using the Storm Dragon's Judgement, as this ability offers the most versatility and gives players a powerful ranged melee option.

Gear & Enchantments
First and foremost is your armor. You'll want a legendary vestment that improves Brr-Zerker and Clawbringer's abilities. We went with the Commander's Corrupted Platemail of Chaotic Respite, which we acquired during a run in the Chaos Chamber.
One piece of gear we found reliable with this build was the Slapping Trick Mirror which has a 75% chance to reflect bullets and arrows towards attacks when the Ward is up and increased reload speed when the Ward is depleted.
Apply enchantments that improve Overall Damage, Melee Damage, or Elemental Damage after Action Skill Start to increase your power significantly and encourage regular use of your Hammer.

Weapons
While guns aren't as crucial for this build, you'll want to make sure you have some reliable short to medium range gear, as the Hammerzerker excels at close-range combat. Out personal favorite is the Snowballing Reign of Arrows of the Riveter, which rains arrows down on enemies nearby.
An excellent Submachine gun for those aiming to shred foes with flesh is the Fissive Blazing Volley of the Void, boasting a hefty magazine size and steady burst fire.
While not as effective as it was at launch, the Slapping Liquid Cooling of Impatience is still a solid option for those interested in keeping the fire going as long as possible. This weapon cools down with critical hits, making it a gun that can fire almost endlessly if you aim in the right spot.
The Iridescent Lil K's Bread Slicer of the Haunted Castle fires saws and baguettes with alternating fire modes and offers substantial firepower. This weapon does eat ammo, though, as each shot takes three bullets to fire.
We recommend using the Triggering Snake Stick of the Crusher as your melee weapon, as its melee attacks apply the following buffs:
- Snake Stick: Melee Attacks spawn a nearby Hydra Companion that deals Melee Damage for six seconds.
- Warrior: Melee Attacks increase your Damage Reduction, and Melee Damage dealt by 8.0% for 10 seconds. This stacks five times.
Make sure to add an Enchantment that further increases each weapon's effectiveness in combat.
