How to easily get the Hellhammer in Diablo 4

The Hellhammer in Diablo 4 is one of the most powerful Two-Handed weapons for the Barbarians in the game. If you are playing as one, you should aim to acquire this weapon whenever possible, as its benefits can be really helpful during the end game.

However, to acquire this weapon, you have to play in either the World Tier 3 Nightmare or the World Tier 4 Torment difficulties, as it only appears as a rare drop during combat. Since it is a Unique item, this item won't drop in World Tier 1 or 2.

To unlock the World Tier 3 Nightmare difficulty, you have to complete the campaign story in World Tier 2 Veteran mode and beat the Cathedral of Light Capstone Dungeon in the Fractured Peaks. After you have done so, you can unlock World Tier 3 Nightmare rewards and loot.

If you want some even better loot and a higher chance of acquiring the Hellhammer, you can unlock the World Tier 4 Torment difficulty by completing the Fallen Temple Capstone Dungeon in the Dry Steppes in Diablo 4.

Once you have unlocked the aforementioned World Tier difficulties, you can change them through the World Tier statue in Kyovashad. As mentioned earlier, the Hellhammer is a pretty rare Unique item, and it will likely take a fair amount of grinding before you come across this weapon.
