Balloon Hammer is a melee variant of CF Vietnam's default melee weapon, Wood Hammer.
Overview[]
Balloon Hammer shares the same mallet design with Wood Hammer but it has a red handle with a baby blue mallet with the CF logo painted on it. Comparing to the original variant, this one has vastly improved stats, both faster attack and draw speed, but still retains weak power. It can perform a 1-hit kill with a secondary attack but players must aim for the head to deliver maximum damage.
Due to material differences, the Balloon hammer utilizes different sound effects, which produces more of a "toyish" feeling rather than using a real weapon. Balloon Hammer is best used to "troll" your opponents because there's nothing more embarrassing than to be killed by a toy device.

Trivia[]
- Unlike the Wooden Hammer, Balloon Hammer (and all later-released Wooden Hammer variants) has its own third person animation (with the primary attack animation is reused from Keris). The Wooden Hammer shares its third person animation with BC-Axe instead.
- Strangely enough, the Balloon Hammer has no unique killmark but instead shared with Wooden Hammer. This is likely because Wooden Hammer was not available outside CF Vietnam, so the Balloon Hammer is the only weapon to take this shape, hence there's no need to make its killmark and people can still tell the weapon used against them with this killmark.
- However, in CF Vietnam, since both Balloon Hammer and Wooden Hammer are available in this version and sharing the same killmark, other players can't tell if that player is using Wooden Hammer or Balloon Hammer upon seeing the killmark unless they facing the said player.
- The mentioned problem also presents in CF China which has updated the Wood Hammer, and most likely other versions as well once they updated the said weapon.
- In CF Vietnam, Balloon Hammer's stats were changed, allowing it to score a 1-hit kill with the secondary attack. Before this weapon's release, numerous people suspected that VTC is doing false advertising by showing Balloon Hammer's stat as 100% power, but by the time it was released, the stat was changed to accommodate to it.
- This makes Balloon Hammer the first weapon to receive a stat buff rather than nerfing in CF Vietnam. Later, it is followed by Hunting Knife.
- It's very likely that this buff was done to prevent Balloon Hammer from mostly outclassed by other melee weapons since it's placed in GP Black Market and players wouldn't likely spin for it if it shares the same stats with Wood Hammer (besides from its attack speed). Although nowadays it's mostly outclassed by Thunderbolt Hammer-Noble Silver which available in the Mileage Shop.
