Sledgehammer is a melee weapon in Fallout 3.

Characteristics

A sledgehammer is used in heavier working conditions such as industrial works such or for breaking ground.

This is a powerful weapon for low to mid level players, however it has a relatively high weight. It has great reach, but a slow swinging speed. It can be found at some metro stations, and understandably, industrial sites such as The Pitt.

Variants

• The Tenderizer, a more powerful version of the regular sledgehammer.

Locations

• One can be found in Megaton, inside Lucas Simms' house.
• They are typical armaments on melee-outfitted super mutant brutes, and can also be found in use by raiders.
• One can be found on a shelf in Herbert "Daring" Dashwood's suite. Note that taking it counts as stealing.
• Caleb Smith can be carrying or using one.

Notes
