The Super Sledge is a melee weapon in Fallout and Fallout 2.

A Super Sledgehammer, manufactured by the Brotherhood of Steel, using the finest weapon technology available. Includes a kinetic energy storage device to increase knockback.— In-game description, Fallout

Characteristics

The Super Sledgehammer is the best melee weapon in terms of damage and knock-back effects. However, the greatest drawback of using it is that it knocks opponents very far away, leaving you with fewer opportunities to strike in a single round.

Locations

The Super Sledgehammer can be obtained at least two ways. You can go to the Old Town in the Hub and buy it from Jake or you can Rescue the initiate (also in Old Town) and get it as reward from Talus. Moonshiners drop it when you meet them with a caravan. There might be further alternatives to obtain it also.

In Fallout 2 the Super Sledgehammer can be found in Navarro. It is located on the ground floor of the facility in the maintenance building east of the hangar. It is in the right-most of the two workbenches behind Quincy. He will not take kindly to you going through his stuff so it may require a sneak skill to obtain without alerting him and/or the base.

As well as in Navarro, a super sledge may be found in the armory of the enclave oil rig in Fallout 2.

Note

Because of the knockback effect of the super sledge, it is recommended to pick up the Bonus Move perk in order to follow your target. You can also cut the lenghtly knockback of slain enemies by picking up the Bloody Mess trait. If you do this, enemies will be dismembered instead if sliding on the ground (which becomes highly frustrating over time).
