Super Sledge (Fallout: New Vegas)

The super sledge is a weapon in Fallout: New Vegas.

Characteristics
It is a heavy two-handed hammer and contains a kinetic energy storage device to increase the knockback effect of the weapon. It is cumbersome and slow, but powerful.

Special attack
It has a special Mauler attack that does 50% damage in V.A.T.S. at the cost of 10 more action points, but has a chance to knock down enemies (requires a Melee skill of 50).

It is possible to execute Mauler outside of V.A.T.S. (without the required Melee skill of 50 to perform the move) by initiating a power attack (hold attack button) while moving forward.

Durability
The super sledge can successfully strike about 495 times from full condition before breaking.
