44 The Sydmon Hammer is a one-handed weapon in Crimson Desert. With an Attack Power of 13 and an Attack Speed bonus at Lv. 1, the Sydmon Hammer fills a specific niche among one-handed blunt weapons: it trades the Critical Rate bonus found on hammers like the Dekarr Hammer and Balton Hammer for faster swing speed instead. This makes it feel noticeably smoother in combat compared to other hammers at the same power tier.

66 The Sydmon equipment line spans multiple weapon and armor categories in Pywel. Other members include the Sydmon Sword, Sydmon Dagger, Sydmon Bow, Sydmon Spear, Sydmon Round Shield, and Sydmon Kite Shield. The Sydmon Hammer completes the one-handed blunt weapon slot in this family. Like most Sydmon gear, the hammer is found as randomized world loot rather than through crafting or merchants.

1313 The Sydmon Hammer is obtained as world loot found while exploring Pywel. Like other Sydmon-branded equipment (such as the Sydmon Round Shield and Sydmon Spear), the hammer appears as a randomized pickup in the open world. Most open-world loot in Crimson Desert is RNG-based, meaning the Sydmon Hammer has a chance to appear in different locations across Pywel each time you explore.

1515 The weapon cannot be crafted at a Blacksmith and does not appear in any crafting manual unlock list. It is also not sold by any known equipment shop. Players looking for this specific hammer should keep their eyes open while exploring, checking treasure chests, item pickups on the ground, and loot drops from enemies throughout the Pywel regions.

1919 The Sydmon Hammer starts at Refinement 0 and supports the full refinement upgrade path. Each refinement level increases base Attack Power, turning the hammer from a modest 13-attack weapon into a more competitive option as materials are invested.

2121 The 3 Abyss Core slots are where the Sydmon Hammer truly shines. Since the weapon already has Attack Speed Lv. 1 built in, players can focus their Abyss Core slots on Critical Rate to make up for the hammer's lack of innate crit chance. Running two Critical Rate cores and one utility core (such as Spirit on hit) creates a fast, crit-capable hammer that outperforms many alternatives in sustained combat scenarios.

2525 The Attack Speed Lv. 1 bonus is the Sydmon Hammer's defining trait. Standard hammers are among the slowest one-handed weapons, but the speed bonus on this variant narrows the gap between hammers and swords. The faster swing speed means more hits per combat window, which translates to more stagger buildup on enemies. Blunt weapons already excel at staggering foes, and hitting them more frequently only amplifies that advantage.

2727 When paired with a shield, the Sydmon Hammer enables a reactive playstyle: block an enemy attack, then immediately counter with a quick hammer combo that staggers them before they recover. The speed bonus ensures your counter-attack lands before the enemy's next offensive cycle begins.
2828  
2929 For dual-wielding builds, the Sydmon Hammer works well in either hand. In the off-hand, it provides blunt damage and stagger potential while the main-hand weapon handles primary DPS. In the main hand, it benefits from the speed boost to deliver rapid blunt strikes, with the off-hand weapon providing a secondary damage type.
