Ripper (Fallout 3)

The Ripper is a melee weapon found in Fallout 3.

Characteristics
Rare compared to other melee weapons in Fallout 3, the Ripper is unique in that the player can hold down the attack button and an enemy at melee range will continuously receive damage. The Pitt, however, adds a weapon with identical functionality, the auto axe. You can use a Ripper to repair an auto axe. Also, in V.A.T.S., it will often deal an instant kill.

Durability
The Ripper can successfully strike about 400 times from full condition before breaking.

Variants

 * Jack - Jack is identical to the Ripper in raw damage, but has the ability to score critical hits. It also does an additional 50% damage to limbs.

Locations

 * Outcast gatekeeper Protector Henry Casdin at Fort Independence can be seen carrying a Ripper if he has not picked up a better weapon from the occasional random encounter.
 * There are around 5 Rippers in Andale, in the Smith's basement and in the Wilson's shed. Note that taking them counts as stealing.
 * Enclave soldiers occasionally carry them and will rush at you with them while some of their squad covers them from afar.
 * Some Brotherhood of Steel members around the Citadel have them.
 * Marigold station, behind the locked door with the turning light.
 * The AntAgonizer uses one.
 * Occasionally Moira Brown has one for sale at Craterside Supply.
 * Flak 'N Shrapnel's in Rivet City sometimes has one for sale.
 * Tulip in Underworld sells one of them from time to time.
 * Many members of the Brotherhood Outcasts use them when fighting robots in Fort Constantine.
 * Two are also located in the Tenpenny Tower weapons closet.
 * Some Enclave troops in Raven Rock use them after Colonel Autumn orders them to attack the player.
 * BoS rear guard at the Washington Monument has one.
 * Lucky Harith may have one for sale, especially after investing in him during the unnamed quest Merchant Empire.

Bugs

 * Sometimes when using the Ripper and then dropping it, the audio for the Ripper will continue to play. This bug usually fixes itself after about 2 minutes; however, if it does not stop, loading another save file will fix it.
