Most of the Source SDK applications including Hammer are found in the game's bin folders, following the SteamPipe update for Source engine games.

  • Go to Steam’s Library tab (1), right click your game (2), hover over Manage to expand more options (3), and click Browse Local Files (4).
  • From there, double click your game's /bin folder to view it (5).
  • Find hammer.exe in this folder and double click it (6). This will launch Hammer, the level editor for Source.

Icon-Bug.pngBug:You may find that Hammer’s viewports are all totally black. This is because Hammer is running with a different branch of Source from the game you are working on.
