It may contain shards from the mysterious crystal found in the book [[Halo: First Strike]], as the crystal could alter gravity. It may also not be a unique weapon, as other Brutes have been seen with similar hammers.

[[Tartarus]]'s battle hammer is named the ''Fist of Rukt''. It is unknown what "Rukt" actually is or was.  Presumably it is named after some entity, possibly the first to possess the hammer.  It also translates to "jerks" or "tears" (as in the verbs) in Dutch, and "blood" in Sanskrit and Hindi.

Tartarus's battle hammer is named the Fist of Rukt. It is unknown what "Rukt" actually is or was. Presumably it is named after some entity, possibly the first to possess the hammer. It also translates to "jerks" or "tears" (as in the verbs) in Dutch, and "blood" in Sanskrit and Hindi.

In the "Starry Night" TV spot released on December 4, 2006, one of the Brutes that the Master Chief attacks is carrying a hammer. However, this is probably not the Fist of Rukt, and it remains to be seen whether or not it is even a gravity hammer; it is most likely a captain's or chieftan's hammer, a very honorable thing to carry in Brute culture--though the Fist of Rukt is most definitely a higher status symbol.

In "Et Tu Brute"

Main article: Halo 3 ViDoc: Et Tu, Brute?In the ViDoc "Et Tu Brute" released December 20, 2006, there were a few animations of Brutes using Hammers, and Brutes in gameplay that were wielding Hammers. It is still unknown whether it is a gravity hammer that they are using, but the Hammers do make similar blue explosions, much like Plasma Grenade explosions, that the Fist of Rukt made during the battle with Tartarus.
