The Spy on the Maul's design

The Maul is a promotional melee weapon for the Pyro. It is a steel-grey sledgehammer with an industrialesque design, and is identical to the sledgehammer of the same name from Red Faction: Armageddon.

This weapon functions identically to the Homewrecker.

The Maul was awarded in Genuine quality to players who pre-ordered Red Faction: Armageddon on Steam before June 6, 2011.[1]

  • The word Maul comes from the Latin word malleus meaning heavy hammer. Today the word malleus is the name of a hammer-shaped bone in the ear.
