Ripper (Fallout: New Vegas)

The ripper is a weapon in Fallout: New Vegas.

Characteristics
This weapon is good for a low-mid level melee player. The attack button can be held down and it will dismember anything in front of the player (much like a chainsaw or thermic lance). This makes it very good for large hordes or large, but slow creatures.

Locations

 * They are often carried by Legionary assassins.
 * One is available after passing a Speech check at Mick & Ralph's with Mick.
 * Quite a number of Fiends in Vault 3 carry Rippers.
 * From Arcade Gannon after For Auld Lang Syne.
 * Vulpes Inculta uses one when you first encounter him in Nipton.
 * A Scorpions gang member in the Monte Carlo Suites will carry one.

Bugs

 * Sometimes, a ripper (Arcade Gannon special version) is in your inventory that is available for use and does not show up in the shop menus, but if it is dropped, you will not be able to pick it up again.
