This mighty sledgehammer will let you push loose items around by hitting them.
Create Space Before Swinging
The Sledgehammer is strongest when a single target is controlled in open ground. Pull enemies away from loot, crops, and narrow interiors before committing to close range.
- Use terrain to avoid fighting several bots at once.
- Stop collecting resources when the surrounding area is not secure.
- Switch to ranged combat when the enemy or environment makes melee unsafe.
