Sledgehammer

The Sledgehammer is a weapon in Kaiju Paradise. It has the appearance of a hammer with a long wooden handle and a black colored attachment at the end. Its variant, Golden Sledgehammer, sports a soft glow and sparkles.
==Properties==
It deals the highest damage in the game currently in terms of a single hit and ragdolls only on direct hits. Otherwise, on an indirect hit, it deals a modest amount of splash damage and stuns Gootraxians instead. It's slow swing makes it harder to land consistent direct hits, making it more suited for direct hits on stunned or ragdolled players.
Despite having the highest damage, it also currently has the longest weapon cooldown in the game, tied with the Long Pipe, as such the Sledgehammer rewards precise, direct hits with heavy damage. 
Upon breaking, text at the bottom of the screen will say: "The hammer snapped in half."
Golden Sledge Hammer is currently among the best weapons damage wise in the game, capable of two shotting most gootraxians with two well placed hits. Combined with its higher durability, the Golden Sledgehammer is a tangible upgrade to an already strong weapon, bearing no functional downsides from its standard counterpart.
Upon breaking, text at the bottom of the screen will say: "The golden hammer snapped in half."
* The sound that plays when you use the Sledgehammer:
* The Sledgehammer does not posses a special sound for hitting a target, and shares the same breaking sound effect with the Axe, Knife, Machete, Katana and the Crowbar.
As of V3.3, the Sledgehammer currently has 6 skins.
==Obtainment==
The Sledgehammer can be found around the map in various locations respawning every 180 seconds (3 minutes). It cannot be bought from Bandit's Shop. 
The Golden Sledgehammer can be randomly obtained per 30 kill streak.

==Trivia==
*The Sledgehammer is one of the only few melee weapons that do not have hitbox points in Debug Mode.
**It is also able to lose durability without hitting another player.
*The Sledgehammer was able to be purchased in the Shop at one point, but it has since been removed.
*When paired with a Golden Katana, the Golden Katana and Sledgehammer combo deal a whopping 115 damage, although this combo is very hard to hit. This combo is the highest amount of damage you can deal in a public server.
*It is possible to score a critical hit on a moving enemy with the Sledgehammer, however it is difficult to pull off. The difficulty almost always pays off from the massive amounts of damage to an enemy while ragdolling them, allowing teammates to catch up. 
**To land a critical hit on an enemy in motion, you have to swing the Sledgehammer a few studs ahead of the player's visual character to land directly on them. Range may vary depending on target's speed and server connection. 
*It is possible to free yourself from a grab using the Sledgehammer if you correctly time the swing with the grab animation.
*The Sledgehammer has been revealed to be getting a hitbox like the other weapons in the V3.2 combat update, no longer having a shockwave effect, instead being a more solo weapon.
