For the similar looking weapon in Dead Island 2, see Claw Hammer.

The Nail Hammer is a variant of the Hammer featured in Dead Island and Dead Island: Riptide. It can be received as a Quest reward, sold by various Merchants or found on killed Zombies or in Metal chests. It has a maximum level cap of player level 24, after which it no longer spawns, and any given out as a quest reward or sold by Merchants will be capped at level 24.

Overview[]

Like the hammer, the Nail Hammer is an alright low level weapon for new players who need something a little longer lasting than a Metal Pipe or Paddle. The weapon has medium damage and force, with decent durability and a low stamina use, making it a good all round weapon for most scenarios. It can take on single or pairs of Walkers or the lone Infected, but due to having a short weapon range, it struggles to take on multiple enemies or larger, tougher enemies like Thugs. However, it does accept some mods, albeit a small selection, which does help its longevity somewhat. Regardless, the hammer stops spawning past player level 24, leaving the Heavy Hammer the sole surviving 1 handed hammer variant into the late game.
