Impulse Anchor is a Weapon in Code Vein. Impulse Anchor is categorized as Two-Handed Hammers. Weapons can be found from Enemies and/or Bosses, acquired as a reward from completing quests, provided by NPCs, and are sold by Merchants.



A sturdily built mechanical hammer.

It contains a Gift trigger that fires waves of heat from its axhaust port, multiplying its crushing power. Striking the ground like this shakes the earth and generates a shockwave. 

it is the masterwork of a group of half-mad engineers, and some revenants make it their lifelong partner.

 

Where to find Impulse Anchor

 

Impulse Anchor Notes and Tips

  • The Physical Damage of the weapon is the Base Damage plus Scaling Damage. Scaling damage is based on your Character Level.
  • High base damage, but weakest scaling of all Two-Handed Hammers.
  • It's the only hammer capable of dealing Pierce damage.
  • Uses same light attacks as Juggernaut Sledgehammer.
  • Uses same special/combo attack as Queenslayer Hammer.
  • Heavy attack is a charge ending in an uppercut motion.
    • Distance covered of the charge is slightly less than 1 roll on slow mobility.
  • Charged attack costs 2 ichor and slams the hammer, generating an eruption that sends a huge shockwave for additional fire damage.
    • The shockwave damage is considerably low due to the lack of any MND or WIL scaling
    • Has high stagger value.
    • Can hit 3 times in sucession if hit at point blank (hammer strike + eruption + shockwave).

      This weapon strongly reminds me of the Boost Hammer from God Eater. Both in appearance and the way the attacks work, particularly the heavy attacks.

        This is a mighty fine weapon, swapped from my Queenslayer Greatsword to this when I entered my own memory and it really packs a punch, it is almost easy mode at this level since it all but stuns them so you can easily chain light attacks together and decimate even the big enemies with a few hits, the light attack is great for crowd control too. The scaling seems very middling/low though, so I am guessing it will be surpassed by something else... Juggernaut Sledgehammer perhaps?
