"AKA Sledge"

Advantages

• Knockback weapon perk is the ability that a weapon may have to knock your target down while at the same time pushing it over the ground.

Uses

The sledgehammer can be used as a basic melee weapon, but it is mostly used for mining the following resources in mines to make materials for crafting:

• Iron Ore
• High Quality Iron Ore
• Minerals
• High Quality Minerals

It can also be upgraded to a Super Sledge.

Only Super Sledge can be used to mine following resources

• Uranium Ore only available in Broken Hills
• Gold only available in Redding

Warning: Even though the sledgehammer is mostly used as a mining tool, it still counts as a weapon. In some parts of guarded towns, such as in the inner-city of NCR or Junktown, it is not allowed to wield weapons in the active hand slot. Pay attention, or you might be killed by the guards.
