Sledgehammer

The Sledgehammer is a melee weapon in Streets of Rogue and as of Version 94 it is the most powerful melee weapon in game. And with a high melee level, it can destroy wooden walls and weak barriers. It can be found in Chests and Safes or given as Reward Item from Missions.

The Robot also starts with this weapon but can also be found wielded by Slavemasters and in later stages, Bouncers.

Damage Table
This table lists the damage dealt by each Melee Attribute level that increases the sledgehammer's damage.

Destroying Barriers
The Sledgehammer is unique being able to completely destroy windows and wooden walls and hedges even without Wall Walloper, if the player has 4 melee attribute level and by increasing to that level with a Strength status effect by using a Muscly Pill or by wearing a Bracelet of Strength.

With a melee attribute of 7 or higher will let you destroy Glass Walls and Brick Walls, including Border Walls.

Using the Primal Lunge special ability will also increase the strength of the sledgehammer's ability in destroying barriers, such as glass walls and normal walls.

Destroying walls will cost 20 durability, but will not loose any durability from destroying windows or bars.

Tips and Strategies

 * Because of it's ability to destroy barriers, characters like the Gorilla, Jock, Wrestler and the Mech Pilot while riding the Mech can make use of it, if they get their hands on Strength increasing items.
 * The Gorilla's ability will make short work of Brick and Glass Walls thanks to Primal Lunge
 * Riding the Mech suit grants the player a melee attribute stat of 5, making it easy for the Mech Pilot to use only one item to increase its strength by taking Muscly Pills or with Strength Syringes.


 * If you want to use the sledgehammer to just destroy windows and wooden walls instead, then a character with 3 melee attribute can also make use of it as well, as long they either wear a Bracelet of Strength or by taking Muscly Pills.
