The '''Warhammer''' is a type of slow and heavy one-handed melee weapon that employs the [[crush]] style of attack. They are a punishingly accurate crushing weapon, with no alternative attack. On the right targets, the crushing attack delivers a real punch - [[scorpion]]s seem to go down quickly with a warhammer, as would anything in plate armour.

One of the drawbacks of warhammers is their low [[attack speed]]. Because of this, most players choose to use [[Battleaxe]]s since they hit harder and have more combat choices.
Statius's warhammer has a faster attack speed than regular warhammers, making it more desirable.

Warhammers (particularly rune) are sometimes used by players with high attack level on the F2P version of the [[Clan Wars]] activity, for the fact that Crush attacks hit easily through rune armour.

Warhammers are one of just two standard melee weapons to still not have a [[Dragon (metal)|Dragon]] version, the other being the Shortsword—both of which are fairly unpopular, even in F2P. Jagex however has announced that the [[dragon warhammer]] will be released, but it has not been said when.

Players can buy a variety of warhammers from [[Vigr's Warhammers]] in [[Keldagrim]] West.

Warhammers are a very uncommon sight among most players, even in [[F2p]] worlds, as they are seen as inferior weapons by most players, who choose either faster weapons such as the scimitar, or more powerful weapons such as the battleaxe or [[Two handed sword]].

Warhammers that can be used in [[Daemonheim]] dungeons have slightly faster attack speed.

It is recommended to only use the warhammer if your opponent is wielding a 2h with platebody or ranging with a platebody. Other than that, the one-handed wielders will usually be wielding a kiteshield and rangers wielding chainmail, which mostly blocks the crush attack of the warhammer.
