Abilities[ | ]
The Sledgehammer, unlike any other weapon, can break barriers such as wooden walls and hedges even without Wall Walloper. If the player's Melee attribute is at least 4, it can even break windows. With Melee 7 or higher, it can break strong walls, including Border Walls.
Using the Primal Lunge special ability will also increase the strength of the sledgehammer's ability to destroy barriers.
The table shows the required Melee level to break barriers or objects.
- Red means the wall or barrier won't be destroyed by the sledgehammer
- Green means the sledgehammer will destroy the object and costs 20 durability when used
- And Light blue means the sledgehammer will destroy the object and won't lose any durability at all
| Barrier / Object | Melee 1 | Melee 2 | Melee 3 | Melee 4 | Melee 5 | Melee 6 | Melee 7 |

Tips and Strategies[ | ]
- Because of its ability to destroy barriers, characters like the Gorilla, Jock, Wrestler and the Mech Pilot while riding the Mech can make good use of it, especially 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 break strong walls with the Sledgehammer while under the influence of Muscly Pills or Strength Syringes
