The Silver Hammer is a special relic that can be obtained in Apartment 51.
Description[]
To obtain the Silver Hammer, the player must head into the first room in Apartment 51 and move towards the left side of the screen. There will be a small portrait with a hammer up on the wall. Take a picture of this and the Silver Hammer is yours.
Use: The Silver Hammer allows a character to collect destructible objects from the world as items and place them in the player's apartment as "props." Simply equip the hammer and then smash items such as a barrel, a couch, or an arcade machine in certain circumstances to turn them into items, then use the items in the character's apartment. Props can also be kept in inventory and used anywhere when outside of combat to spawn the object, which can be helpful in providing weapons or temporary barriers.
Whether an item can be propped or not depends on the screen the character is on; specifically whether there is an event loaded which alters the behavior of the camera.
Some examples:
- The outdoor rooms of the Piratenbase, where the camera is altered to stay in the same row vertically while the pirate ship and characters move up and down.
- The Sasquatch Museum gift shop, where the camera pans upwards to display the banner.
- The entrance to Live Devil Amusement Park, where the camera pans out to display the animatronic devil.
- Any time a boss appears and the camera moves to it in order to introduce it.
Though the player loses control during some of these events, attacks fired before losing control can prop items if timed correctly.
Rex can carry many objects from non-proppable screens to proppable screens, making it much easier to collect them.

Notes[]
- The Silver Hammer must be equipped to turn things into collectibles
- Not all items can be turned into a collectible.
- Objects broken by enemies or by explosions not directly caused by the player do not generate collectibles.
- According to Ska Studios, even they don't know which items are collectible since it apparently depends on the game engine.
