FAQs

Why should I expand my bunker?

The larger your bunker, the larger the amount of stuff you can store. As you progress through the game, you will need the extra space to horde everything you have looted. Furthermore, your original bunker size will not be able to accommodate various equipment, such as an Advanced Crafting Station, or house additional generators to generate electricity.

Can a Sledgehammer break during bunker expansion?

Yes. A Sledgehammer, like all weapons in Misery, can break down. You need to take frequent breaks while hitting the wall of your bunker. Once it’s used beyond the limit, it will be destroyed. While other weapons can be repaired, you cannot repair a Sledgehammer to increase its durability.

Should I craft a Sledgehammer or go searching for it?

It’s always better to craft the Sledgehammer. As a breakable tool with no way to repair, you’d need more than one. Moreover, it’s easier to get your hands on the materials required to craft it than to find one in the wild.

How can I find the material required to craft a Sledgehammer?

The material required for crafting a Sledgehammer can be found quite easily.

1. Scrap: Scrap is literally everywhere in the game’s map. You can find it by breaking down wooden boxes, on various shelves in houses or bunkers, and in many stashes.
2. Iron Bar: Iron bars aren’t easily found, but can be created easily. Take some scrap and put it in the Incinerator. Turn the Incinerator on. Once the process is complete, it will give you usable iron bars.
3. Wood: Wood is scattered all across the map. It can be especially found in shacks. You can also buy wood from the Junk Dealer in the Sirzez Underground area.
