Sledge is one of the attacking operators. He has medium armor and medium movement speed. His attribute is a powerful hammer called the "Caber", which can be used to break through the majority of walls and barricades (except for the armored ones) without causing too much noise. Thanks to his hammer, Sledge is able to quickly create an entrance for his team and initiate an attack. Due to the uncomplicated gadget, Sledge is recommended for beginners.
The hammer and its limitations
Sledge's biggest advantage is his ability to break through walls and barricades. Sadly, Sledge has a limited number of uses of his hammer. Because of that, you won't be able to destroy anything on your path. You have 25 "charges", of which:
- Breaking through a wall takes 2 charges.
- Breaking through window and door barricades takes 1 charge.
- An attempt at breaking through a fortified wall depletes 1 charge.
Proper use of the hammer
Sledge requires a short while to take out and hide the hammer. This short time makes him completely exposed to attacks. Watch out that you aren't shot while using the gadget. What's more, in order to destroy both sides of a wall, Sledge must be very close to the surface that he wants to destroy. Otherwise, he will only destroy one part and he will be forced to waste more "charges" of his hammer to finish his work.
Knowledge of the maps works as an advantage for Sledge
With such powerful tool like "Caber" hammer, you must know which surface can be destroyed and which can't. Spend some time on learning the maps so that you know their limitations. This will bear fruits later, once you play in multiplayer mode.
Surprising the enemies
Sledge can surprise the enemies securing a room by an attack from above. Climb on the roof or to the room above the strategic point and use the hammer to destroy the floor or the piece of the roof. Before the enemies understand the situation, you will have some time to eliminate them.
