Ripper (GRA)

The Ripper (GRA) is a melee weapon in the Fallout: New Vegas add-on Gun Runners' Arsenal.

Characteristics
This Ripper is specially designed by the Gun Runners to accept modifications, unlike its standard variant. It is a weapon that is able to to deliver continuous damage against its targets (much like the chainsaw or thermic lance), and may even dismember them. It is also considered an improved holdout weapon, so long as your Sneak skill is 50 or greater.

Special attack
It has a special Long Cut attack that does 50% damage in V.A.T.S. at the cost of 20 fewer action points (requires a Melee skill of 50). Note that in Fallout: New Vegas melee weapons do double normal weapon damage when used in V.A.T.S.

It is possible to execute Long Cut outside of V.A.T.S. (without the required Melee skill of 50 to perform the move) by initiating a power attack (hold attack button) while moving forward.

Durability
The ripper (GRA) can successfully strike about 5995 times, or 8995 times when equipped with the heavy duty chain, from full condition before breaking.
