- "A blunt tool designed to knock nails into things. Not much can be said about such rudimentary tools, other than the fact it can be used as a bludgeoning weapon if needed."

Summary
Originally, the Hammer could only barricade structures by picking up planks spread throughout the map.
Later on, this was changed and it can now both construct buildings and barricade doors without having to pick up planks.
This can also be used as a melee weapon, if you so wish.
Background Story
Nobody knows how smashing a Hammer and paying some money allows you to spawn fences, sandbags and planks out of thin air, but don't worry about it. They're useful.
Controls
Smash: Basic melee attack doing 35 damage.
Consumes 6 energy.
Barricade: Used to barricade doors and windows.
Consumes one plank.
Rotate: Used to rotate buildable items.
Tips
- When using the Hammer, make sure to have enough money to build whatever you need, otherwise, it will be a waste.
- The main page for this information can be found here.
- You can use this as a melee weapon and it deals 35 damage per hit.
- However, most melee weapons are much stronger than this. It isn't recommended to use this as a melee if you have a better melee.
- This also doesn't trip zombies so in some cases Punching and Kicking is better.
- The hammer has the Head shot effect (see.Status Effects, Loss of Head)
- Do not Hammer abusing as it can get you banned if you caught doing that in situations like pushing the fueltank in Campfire Chaos II and getting to the Helicopter.
- Hammer Abusing is always a bannable sentence so it's recommended to not do that to avoid getting Banned.
- This can be a great tool for President in The President to prevent zombies from harming the President easily.

- This was once abused in King Crab and in Lord Pumpkin Jr. (2016 only). People could spawn some buildings on top of destructible parts. When those parts were destroyed, they would be left floating in the air, practically invincible.
- These have since been banned in all Quests, all PvP modes (including Undead Battleground) and all Bosses after Chronos XI for a similar reason.
- To counter this, all Hammers equipped prior to the round will automatically turn into the Vitamins.
- For unknown reasons, the Hammer is also banned in M.S Antares.
- This is probably because buildings would float in midair when the ship sinks during Campaign.
- The Hammer is banned in Buried Alive to prevent the Priest from being unreachable to zombies and players locking themselves in mineshafts or the church.
- These have since been banned in all Quests, all PvP modes (including Undead Battleground) and all Bosses after Chronos XI for a similar reason.
- This is technically the second melee to be added to R2DA.
- Prior to v0.6.6, you could build on water.
- Some areas of maps will have terrain/physical features that will prevent you from building.
- The following maps that have such restrictions are Bouri Rig 71, Casius Outpost, 1930's Kingstreet and Terminal Decay.
- Tablet players cannot rotate structures when using the Hammer, meaning that you can only rotate structures on Computer and Gamepad.
- During R2DA's discontinuation, some people consider building structures using Hammer on areas that zombies cannot reach them, making them with this item impossible to kill and end the round without Vote Kicking them and forcing them to reset.
- This is BANNABLE, because it counts towards glitching.
- The example of this is some people with Hammer could build on materials in hills that could trip players in 1930's Kingstreet.
