Shishkebab (Fallout 3)

The shishkebab is a melee weapon in Fallout 3.

Characteristics
The shishkebab is a makeshift "flaming sword" that requires the appropriate schematics to build. The motorcycle gas tank provides a reservoir of fuel, the handbrake becomes part of the handguard and likely the ignition trigger for the pilot light, the lawn mower blade becomes the blade of the sword, and the pilot light ignites the fuel-coated blade when the sword is drawn.

The shishkebab, in addition to its Melee damage, will also set the target on fire, dealing 2 damage per second for 5 seconds. The Pyromaniac perk will also increase the shishkebab's melee damage and boost fire damage from 2 to 3 damage per second for 5 seconds. Any humanoid companion can use a shishkebab. Like all custom weapons, it can be upgraded with v2 or v3 schematics.

Durability
The shishkebab can successfully strike about 429 times from full condition before breaking.

Location

 * Vance wields a shishkebab which will be in poor condition if looted from him after killing him.

Behind the scenes

 * "Shish kebab" is a traditional Middle Eastern (e.g. Persian / Turkish) dish consisting of meat threaded on a skewer and grilled.
 * In the German version, the weapon is called "Rösti", after a dish from Switzerland consisting mainly of chopped-up and fried potatoes. The word stems from "rösten" which means "to roast".
