By overlaying the two cosmetics you can clearly see that the skin you unlock at mastery 20 shrinks the hammer by a considerable amount. The head of the hammer looks around half the size of the standard appearance.
No, it does not affect gameplay in a significant way but it feels a bit sad that as a reward for levelling up the weapon you just get a punier hammer which no self respecting Ogryn would like.
If possible please make the head of the hammer match the standard version or maybe even make it a tiny bit bigger for extra bonk.
i like that shape personally, still not gonna use the red and gold scheme on an ogryn but it’s proportioned more reasonably like a real sledgehammer and suits the attack speed and patterns he has with it more
when things are too massive + get swung fast anyway it starts giving the impression of swinging foam around, which is an issue i have with the hammer
I was so immensely disappointed when the Cruncher’s mastery skin wasn’t just a copy-paste of the Crusher (enemy)'s concrete and rebar maul, I’m not gonna lie.
