The super sledge is a weapon in Fallout: New Vegas.
Characteristics
A two-handed blunt melee weapon resembling a massive metallic hammer with a padded handle that contains a kinetic energy storage device to increase the knockback effect of the weapon. It deals the second-highest amount of damage per strike of all blunt melee weapons (only below its unique variant Oh, Baby!) as well as having the second-highest AP cost along with the sledgehammer and the highest weight along with Oh, Baby!
Special attack
The super sledge has a special Mauler attack that does 50% damage in V.A.T.S. at the cost of 10 more action points, but has a chance to knock down enemies (requires a Melee skill of 50).

It is possible to execute Mauler outside of V.A.T.S. (without the required Melee skill of 50 to perform the move) by initiating a power attack (hold attack button) while moving forward.
Durability
The super sledge can successfully strike about 495 times from full condition before breaking.
Variants
- Oh, Baby! - a unique variant found next to a dead nightkin in Charleston Cave near Jacobstown, which is visited during Guess Who I Saw Today.
- Mean super sledge - a unique non-playable weapon used by Mean Sonofabitch in Westside.
