Overview[1]
The Hammer was a melee weapon from Dead Rails, formerly available to players when they started a match, with a 25% chance spawning with it. It used to be one of the most basic melee weapons available to players as it shared the same damage as the former Shovel. With its low damage per hit, it was outclassed by nearly every other Weapon in the game. However, it could occasionally stun enemies upon impact, made it a useful option during the early game.
