Super sledge (Fallout: New Vegas)

The super sledge is a weapon in Fallout: New Vegas.

Characteristics
It is a heavy two-handed hammer, and contains a kinetic energy storage device to increase the knockback effect of the weapon. It is rather cumbersome and slow, but very powerful. The super sledge is a top-tier melee weapon, so it requires a 100 in Melee Weapons and an 8 in Strength to use at maximum efficiency.

It's special V.A.T.S. attack is "Mauler", which does 50% damage at the cost of 48 action points and has a chance to knock enemies down (requires a Melee skill of 50). Outside of V.A.T.S. it can be activated by running and holding down the attack button.
