R.E.P.O. Tool
Sledge Hammer
The Sledge Hammer is widely considered the best weapon in R.E.P.O., melee or otherwise: 150 damage a swing and a stun that holds on everything up to Heavy.

Effect
Massive damage, slow swing, can break walls
What it does
Ten swings, 150 damage each, with a stun against monsters of Heavy weight or lower — which covers everything except the Clown and the Trudge. It damages valuables and semibots just as happily. When its charge runs out the hammer visibly crumples. Since v0.1.2.55 it no longer hits its own wielder unless two players are holding it.
How to use it
It has an undocumented ranged mode: push it away with the mouse wheel and release while it is moving, and you have effectively thrown a sledgehammer, which usually stuns and sometimes outright kills. That is the safest opener against a monster that has not seen you. It works less well on an alerted Reaper, whose flailing blades can parry the throw and leave you unarmed — attack a Reaper from the side or behind, or not at all while it is swinging.
REPODLE hints
One hundred and fifty damage is unique among tools. Weapon + Melee is a six-item group and the $38,000 tier cuts it to the Sledge Hammer and the Baseball Bat, which then split on damage — 150 against 20. If the price column comes back green at 38,000 with a Melee sub type, it is one of those two and nothing else.
