Sledgehammer (Fallout: New Vegas)

The sledgehammer is a weapon .
==Characteristics==
A two-handed blunt melee weapon that consists of a long wooden shaft and a metal hammer head. Once a tool used in construction work, like most things in the post-War wasteland, it's been repurposed as a weapon. It deals decent damage per strike, but has the second-highest AP cost (same as the super sledge and below the rebar club) and the third-highest weight of all blunt melee weapons (below the X-2 antenna , the super sledge, and its unique variant Oh, Baby!).
===Special attack===
The sledgehammer has a special Mauler attack that does 50% damage in V.A.T.S. at the cost of 10 more Action Points, but also 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 sledgehammer can successfully strike about 745 times from full condition before breaking.

* Often used by White Legs (level-dependent).
* Often used by lobotomites (level-dependent).
* Often used by marked men (level-dependent).
==Notes==
