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

Background[]

The following section is transcluded from Super sledge. To modify, please edit the source page.

The original incarnation of the super sledgehammer, produced by the United States military, is a bizarre looking weapon compared to its predecessor. The head of the hammer contains the kinetic storage device and a pair of faces that transfer the stored energy to the target. It is mounted on a shock damper held in place by springs, designed to reduce the recoil produced by the impact to manageable, non-lethal levels. Additional padding helps make it more comfortable to use, while a fixture at the terminal end of the shaft ensures it won't slip out of the user's hands.[1] It is by far the most widespread model in the United States, commonly seen in the hands of high-tech factions and where the Brotherhood's own variant is not available.[2]

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.
