The battle hook is a meat hook attached to a wire to be used as a weapon. It is the main weapon of Sanford, who uses it as both a melee and a ranged weapon, as a stabbing tool or to pull enemies closer.

Sanford first used his hook in Madness Combat 9: Aggregation to dispatch the A.T.P. engineers of the truck by swinging it on the wire, hooking an engineer, and then launching his body at the other engineers. He also uses his hook as a hacking tool as well later on. In Madness Combat 10: Abrogation, Sanford continues to use it until the wire was cut out of his hand by an engineer while he was attacking a Mag Agent: V4, leaving the hook stuck in the giant's head. In Madness Combat 7.5, Sanford uses it to "fish" an engineer and several agents from atop the roof, then uses it to kill many other agents by throwing and gauging. Before putting the hook away, Sanford wipes the blood off the hook on a dead l33t agent's body.

A different type hook appeared in Madness Combat 12: Contravention, where it was initially fixed in the ground. Sanford picked it up and used it alongside his shotgun to kill several A.A.H.W. units in the next few areas. In the final area, Sanford was confronted by two Half-Mag agents. After embedding the hook in one of the Half-Mag's hands, Sanford was left unarmed and was nearly torn in twain by the two magnified agents. However, Sanford managed to unfetter himself and used the hook to maim the Half-Mags and successfully kill one. The remaining Half-Mag acquired the hook and attempted to swipe at Sanford with it, but he dodged the attack and then proceeded to kill the Half-Mag with a flurry of unarmed attacks. Sanford picked up the hook before being anchored and transported out of the Other Place.

Exclusively in the Story Mode of Madness: Project Nexus (Classic), the battle hook can be used by Sanford. Unlike other weapons in the game, it cannot be discarded and can be used virtually indefinitely. When thrown, the hook will always return to Sanford by the wire. Sanford can use it to reel enemies closer to him while disarming them.

Trivia

• As Krinkels was asked how he got the idea for Sanford's Hook, he answered with: "They're horrible and painful."
• Although the hook cannot be bought in Arena Combat, it can still be obtained through savefile hacks.
  • However, sometimes when the hook is thrown, the game may freeze.
    • This can be prevented if you re-equip the Hook before a battle.
• In Madness: Project Nexus (Classic), if a player leaves the room while the Hook is still being thrown, the game would freeze and crash.
