Gray Hammer

Gray Hammer is one of the original five maps of Combat Arms. It was the first map to be exposed to the now patched box glitching, and is also one of the largest.

Gray Hammer features several buildings and fences, and large paths leading to each of them. This map's bomb site can be found by going left from the Bravo Site, and by going right from the Bravo Site into the warehouse.

Gray Hammer has become more and more uncommon, almost being as uncommon as Pump Jack.

Overview
Gray Hammer is one of the larger maps of Combat Arms, but it is very easy to learn.

The Struggle In-Between
Right outside the building at Alpha Site is a large area with lots of defenses to hide behind. It is an ideal field for battle due to the protection that can be used for reloading.

Alpha Site
Alpha Site has its signature staircase to the right inside the fenced-in area, and the doorway out under it. To the left is an open area held in by fences leading to another doorway. This doorway takes you to a building with two paths. Taking the path to the right takes you into a hallway that turns around towards the other direction, leading to a dead end, and the left takes you to a small counter that you can go behind and hide. There is also a door leading to the middle of the stage. The fenced off area shows the lowered area, often called the sewers, of the map and allows you to shoot them from above easier.

There is also a wooden fence with a small crack in the side right beside the door to go in the building. This is used for sniping as hitting you is a massive struggle for anyone on the opposing team. You can also get on top of the fence from the awning and cross to the doorway and stand on top. This is a good spot in a Melee Only game due to the fact that you can get behind someone and stab them.

Bravo Site
Bravo Site features a wooden awning above your head when you spawn. There is a balcony above it and several boxes surrounding the building. There is another small building which can be ascended by crossing some boxes, the roof, and a fence. There is a bomb site in a field of boxes and trains to the left of your spawn, and a warehouse, which is also a bomb site, to the right. There is a barrel beside a footlift under the awning, and to the right of it there is a crate allowing you to jump onto a box and snipe the ones below, or you can jump onto the balcony from here.

Below the balcony there are two garage doors which you can manage to barely slip a frag grenade under. There are steel archway structures up above the base (and one is accessible from the smaller building). The box area has several hiding spots, and a large hole in the wall can be found above a stack of boxes which you can ascend.
