The Warhammer is a melee weapon introduced in the Royalty DLC that does a significant amount of blunt damage and has a long cooldown. As a blunt weapon, warhammer attacks don't cause bleeding (unless a body part gets destroyed), and generally fares better against armor when compared to sharp weapons.

Acquisition

Warhammers can be crafted at the fueled smithy or electric smithy once the Long Blades research has been completed; with Stuff 150 Stuff (Metallic/Woody, 1500 for SMVs) and 18,000 ticks (5 mins) of work.

They can also be purchased from outlander and orbital combat suppliers, or found from outlander and pirate raiders drops.

Analysis

Warhammers are often the best blunt weapon your colony can craft. See below for details.

In general, blunt weapons have multiple advantages. They have a chance to stun enemies on hit, regardless of organic status on hit. Enemies tend to have much less Blunt armor than they do Sharp armor. If a blunt weapon destroys a body part, it is likely for the damage to spread to its parent part. For example: with a warhammer, destroying a finger will often hurt the arm. With a longsword, the finger is cut off. However, blunt weapons have less raw DPS than sharp weapons. Blunt wounds also won't cause bleeding unless a body part is destroyed. Note that bleeding is very minor in most melee combat situations.

As a blunt weapon, warhammers are best made of uranium rather than plasteel, due to uranium's higher blunt damage multiplier.

Compared to other blunt weapons

Compared to the mace of the same quality / material, the warhammer swings slower, but deals more damage per hit. While the warhammer deals slightly less raw DPS than the mace, high quality warhammers are more likely to destroy body parts like the head and torso. This can result in 1-hit kills against humanoids, where the mace would need multiple strikes. The warhammer has more AP, though the relative difference is so low, especially when considering the low Blunt armor of most enemies, that AP rarely matters.

However, the mace costs 3x less materials to create. A uranium mace will be better than a steel warhammer, and you may only have 50 uranium to spare. And if you desire to capture prisoners, then the mace is the superior option, as it doesn't destroy body parts as often. Maces are also sightly better against larger animals and mechanoids, as the one-shot capability becomes irrelevant.

When cost isn't a concern, a warhammer will obviously be outclassed by a zeushammer or persona zeushammer of the same quality. However, because both zeushammers cannot be crafted, it is very difficult to farm masterwork and legendary versions of them. These quality levels offer large improvements to a weapon, even when comparing legendary to masterwork.

Against targets immune to EMP, a legendary uranium warhammer will beat an excellent persona zeushammer (before persona traits) and masterwork regular zeushammer. With a source of inspired creativity, like tortured artist or Word of Inspiration, it is relatively easy to create legendary weapons. A highly skilled Production specialistContent added by the Ideology DLC with inspiration is nearly guaranteed at creating legendary items.
