Sledgehammer

The Sledgehammer is one of an unknown amount of weapons that will be available in Red Faction: Guerrilla when it is released.

Description
The Sledgehammer is the Red Faction: Guerrilla signature melee weapon. It is the one weapon which the main character - Alec Mason will have on him at all times. The Sledgehammer can be used effectively to demolish structures, vehicles and people.

---

The hardened steel sledgehammer is a familiar sight to the thousands of prospectors working the mines of Mars. As such, it is also a useful weapon, since the EDF are unlike to consider it a significant threat. The Sledgehammer is capable of inflicting moderate structural damage, which can be useful in creating entrances, exits, and vantage points. Additionally, the Sledgehammer can be used to eliminate targets silently.

Recommendation: The EDF doesn’t react immediately when you have this weapon out, so it can be used for silent (albeit messy) kills. Need a backdoor for an escape? Make a new one.
