Super Sledge

Weapons & Gear · Source: Fallout 3, Fallout: New Vegas, Fallout 4, Fallout 76

Overview

The Super Sledge is a massive sledgehammer with a rocket-assisted head that delivers earth-shattering blows. It is the heavyweight champion of wasteland melee weapons.

History & Development

The Super Sledge's design dates to pre-war construction and military experiments, later adopted as a signature weapon by super mutants. Its rocket-assist mechanism was refined by various factions, including the Brotherhood of Steel and the NCR. The design has remained essentially unchanged for centuries.

Technical Specifications

A small rocket motor ignites on the downswing, adding explosive force to an already heavy head. It is slow, two-handed, and exhausting, but each hit can send enemies flying. Its construction is simple enough to be reproduced by wasteland smiths.

Wasteland Usage & Variants

Super mutants wield Super Sledges as their iconic armament, and power-armored soldiers use them for anti-armor work. Unique variants like Oh, Baby! in the Mojave and upgraded models in the Commonwealth are highly prized. It is the ultimate expression of brute force.

Notable Appearances

The Super Sledge appears in Fallout 3, Fallout: New Vegas, Fallout 4, and Fallout 76, often in the hands of super mutant brutes.
