== Description ==
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 unlikely 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.

Part of what makes the sledgehammer so powerful is not just [[Alec Mason]]'s strength, but the mass-multiplier servo motor that delivers 1000 pounds of kinetic force.
The Sledgehammer is the player's default weapon and main tool of destruction within the game.
 
==Trivia==
*Despite the fact that [[EDF]] won't react to it during gameplay, in the game's opening cutscene, the [[EDF]] officer refers to it as a weapon, and is fearful of it.
*The cheat code '''hardhitter''' may be entered in the game's Extras menu to replace the sledgehammer with the [[Goldbreaker]]. (Note that this cheat cannot be undone and the Goldbreaker will remain permanent)
