How to unlock the Throw Hammer or Run achievement in Hunt: Showdown - Definitive Guide

UPDATE:As of 2/20/20, this achievement is now obtainable.
At Bloodline Rank 45, you have access to a trait called 'Tomahawk' which allows you to throw hammers and axes picked up in match. It costs 2 upgrade points. You can also recruit a hunter that might randomly have this trait even if you don't have it unlocked yet. Like other thrown items, pull left trigger to aim and right trigger to throw.
SKILL-BASED METHOD (aka LUCK-BASED METHOD)
According to the description, it has to specifically be a sledgehammer, so pick up one of the numerous sledgehammers in and around buildings and when you find another player, throw the hammer at them. Depending on the other players health, this may not be an instakill, so prepare yourself for disappointment if you manage to pull this off legitimately in a match and the other player takes the sledgehammer to the back of the head like a champ and proceeds to turn around and blow you away with a shotgun.
BOOSTING METHOD (aka THE METHOD FOR MOST OF US)
This can easily be boosted by searching for a match at the same time as your boosting partner and coordinating a location to meet on the map, preferably at the edge of the map away from potential PvP hotspots. The server population seems to be low enough and the matches long enough that finding each other hasn't been an issue. Once you load in, just confirm both of you have the same map, the same targets, and the same time of day and you're probably in the same match. In our experience, it takes two thrown hammers to get a kill when the target player has full health and no special traits equipped that might mitigate some of the damage.

Boost it with mates, you can get into the same servers with two teams of duos.
Key point - buy a legendary hunter to try to roll the Tomahawk trait or bring a hunter you’ve upgraded previously with the purchased trait.
Make sure you select the same geographical server region(s) - do this by clicking on the globe...
e.g. US West and each party leader counts down to when to start the server search.
You can confirm over voice party if you are in the same server, based on map, number of contracts, which contracts, time of day and finally how many and where the extraction points are on the map.
Next thing is to meet up on the map, best idea is probably at an extraction as it’s less likely to have other enemies hanging out there at the start of the game(!) and make sure you come up with a way to identify each other, maybe all choose the same legendary hunter skin? Or do a funny dance move upon greeting each other!
On the way to meeting your ‘tomahawk’ squad, search for a Sledgehammer, search buildings and clue sites.
Then, decide who is going first and line up and throw sledge! If you all need to get the achievement, then you can revive your team mate and swap over, so team A gets hit first, revives and team B gets bit second and so forth, until all four members have the achievement and presto!
Seriously, I’ve tried this the legit way, it’s nigh on impossible or super lucky, as a hunter with full health is very unlikely to get hit once by the sledge and die, so you either have to trap up a door way and watch it, primed with the sledge and have a lot of patience or come up with some inventive method to trick your enemy hunters, who by now probably are not that green to stare at you long enough for a hammer to take their cowboy hat off...

If you don't have any luck with the other guide (great methods, but the more the better), try this one:
THE CAMPING METHOD (aka the cheese method):
Play normally, preferably with a squad. Once you've killed a player, stand next to him with your sledgehammer at the ready. If someone pushes you can either hit them or drop the hammer. If the player gets necro'ed you can just yeet the hammer at them.
Also, with the new solo updates: if it's a solo player: he can just get himself up with necro, so all the reward without other risks.

Quite a tedious trophy. First, you need a hunt with the “Tomahawk” perk, then find a sledgehammer on the map, throwing something else does not give you a trophy. The sledgehammer doesn't always one-shot; if you hit, the enemy's HP remains.
You can try it with a friend. Early in the morning we go into the game, select the Oceania region (it seems there are fewer people there, but the ping makes itself felt), remove yourself from friends just in case, check the box against triplets (more chances to fly into one lobby, and fewer enemies will spawn around) and at the same time let's go into the game. We check the map, time, bosses, escapes. We're looking for a hammer and it's time to go

Start alone against the teams, there will be more rustling, there will be more fuss, it’s easier to go unnoticed, take damaging tripwires (just in case). Move to the center to the hint, arrange yourself, take a position (naturally, earlier on the way here you found a sledgehammer and have a perk). Wait.. .., no one came, wait until they discover the boss, as soon as we immediately run there, take a position so that the hunters see you after raising the reward, 3 versus 1, they will rush and here you have an advantage, you know where it will appear the first one, I got a one-shot.

The perk is called INSTITUTOR . We launch with a friend at the same time as the NECROMAN T perk, or with two friends who will be on the same team against us. The point is to be able to lift someone who needs to be hit with a sledgehammer. This is necessary in order not to calculate how much HP is left there in order to accurately kill with a sledgehammer from a throw. We kill right away. The player is revived by a perk or teammate and immediately ready to throw a sledgehammer for the second knock. Trophy in your pocket. I actually did one with the second console. The bot only needed one shot in the leg with a pistol and one blow with a sledgehammer. Then he threw and killed. (We are launching in Oceania, of course)
