The Gravity Hammer is melee weapon of the Brute Chieftains. At 2.682m it not only serves as an excellent melee weapon, but can alter gravity to move objects and living beings around.
Fist of Rukt
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 "blood" in Sanskrit and Hindi.
In "Starry Night"

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 chieftain'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"

In Halo 3
There is speculation that the gravity hammer will be a usable weapon in halo 3. Due to its large size and apparant power there is a theory that if it does appear in halo 3 it will fall under the support weapon category.
