Sledge Hammer
Sledge Hammer is a gadget in BattleBit Remastered.
Summary
Contrary to the Pickaxe, which is very useful for selecting specific bricks to knock away, the sledgehammer makes short work of entire walls. Use it to advance quickly through urban environments and building compounds.
Strategy
As a Melee Weapon
The Sledgehammer will deal a flat 50 damage upon hitting an infantryman. This means that most of the time, it will only take 2 hits with this gadget to secure a kill. One may assume that the enemy has plenty of time to react after the first hit, but in most cases, there's little-to-no time due to lag compensation and/or very subtle indication upon getting hit.
Your enemy will not hesitate to exploit your obvious lack of range. When they see a big, angry, speedy block-man in army fatigues sprinting towards them with a Sledgehammer, they don't see danger; they see a free kill. Rather, your best bet is to quickly approach an enemy while they're unaware of your most holy presence. While the other classes capable of using the Sledgehammer may have similar success, the Assault class (by default) has just enough armor that you can land your first hit, survive a few panic shots, and quickly kill the enemy with the next hit. If movement speed is your thing, opt out the default heavy vest for a light/ranger vest and equip a PDW.
