In the "Danger close" desert update, Strobes were added that would call in Air Strikes where and in the direction they were thrown.

How do I break those black things with an eye on them?

Hardstone Blocks and Hardstone Boulders can be broken with the Sledgehammer, Stone Hammer, or the War Hammer.

They drop very rare and useful loot usually.
