Which one should you carry?
It's a trade: the Hammer hits harder and the Frying Pan reaches farther. We put both in A tier.
Your hotbar is only four slots shared with water and tools, so carry one weapon, not both. See the weapons page for every card and the best weapon page for our full tier list.
Tips
- Pick the Hammer for damage, or the Frying Pan if you want the longer swing.
- Brace the door first. A weapon is for when the barricade fails.
- Check the item card for Damage and Reach on anything tagged Weapon.
FAQ
Is the Hammer better than the Frying Pan in 30 Floors Up?

Hammer hits harder by 1, and Frying Pan reaches farther by 1.0. The card doesn't show swing speed or durability, so this compares the printed numbers only.
