“A large hammer with big handle. Very popular with the muscular crowd.”— In-game description, Fallout

Sledgehammers are melee weapons in Fallout and Fallout 2.

Characteristics

The sledgehammer was used in the pre-War times for demolition or industrial works. A player character with high Strength can find the sledgehammer as an effective weapon for a limited time, as many other melee weapons outclass it.
