The Paegaas Workshop War Hammer is one of the many gravity hammers variants manufactured by the Covenant; the aesthetic and operational design of the Paegaas Workshop gravity hammer is tailored for eponymous clan.{{Ref/Reuse|evg}}{{Ref/Reuse|waypoint}} As with other variants of the gravity hammer, the Paegaas Workshop gravity hammer integrates the traditional Jilrahanae-bladed war hammer with repurposed Covenant gravity impellers.{{Ref/Reuse|enc22}} In addition to the tungsten-alloy blade attached to the reverse side of the hammer, the hammerhead contains a short-range gravity drive,{{Ref/Reuse|evg}} allowing the wielder displace gravity at a targeted location—though conventional manipulation of the weapon typically eliminates the need for such extraordinary use.{{Ref/Reuse|waypoint}}

===Usage===
The gravity hammer served dual purposes as a weapon as well as a defining ceremonial vestige of clan leadership, and is thus typically wielded by a chieftain or other high-ranking members.{{Ref/Reuse|waypoint}} Atriox, being a Bloodstar in the Covenant and no implication that he was a Chieftain, is seen using a gravity hammer implying that Jiralhanae Bloodstars in the Covenant were allowed Gravity Hammers.{{Ref/Level|HW2|A New Enemy}} The Paegaas Workshop variant was used by the Jiralhanae forces deployed to the continent of [[Eposz]] on [[Reach]] during the Covenant's [[Fall of Reach|assault]] on the planet in [[2552]].{{Ref/Reuse|hr}} Within the [[Banished]], the Paegaas Workshop variant was employed by [[Jiralhanae Warlord]]s and [[Jiralhanae Jumper]]s.{{Ref/Reuse|hw2}}

{{Main|Gravity hammer}}
The Paegaas Workshop gravity hammer is featured in ''[[Halo: Reach]]'' and ''[[Halo 4]]''. The gravity hammer is a powerful melee weapon that can kill multiple foes in one swing, and can even be effectively used against vehicles. They are [[power weapon]]s which appear on some multiplayer maps. 
The Paegaas Workshop gravity hammer is featured in ''[[Halo: Reach]]''.  
 
==Trivia==
* Despite the lack of Brutes in the game, the gravity hammer appears in ''Halo 4'', likely due to its unique gameplay niche, its fan-favoritism, and its important role in [[Grifball]]. It is consequently the only Brute weapon to appear in ''Halo 4''. In the entirety of ''Halo 4''{{'}}s campaign, only one gravity hammer can be found, located in an armory during [[Midnight|the last level]].
** However, it can actually be spawned in the mission ''[[Shutdown]]'' via a [[Legendary]]-only [[Gravity Hammers on Shutdown|easter egg]], in which case four gravity hammers can be spawned.
** Another Legendary-only easter egg allows players to [[Secret Gravity Hammer on Midnight|spawn a second gravity hammer in the last level]].
