Shishkebab (Fallout: New Vegas)

The Shishkebab is a weapon in Fallout: New Vegas.

Characteristics
The Shishkebab is a flaming melee weapon which sets the target on fire upon impact. Although it appears to run on fuel from the tank on the player's back, it actually uses no fuel at all. Even though its blade is wreathed in fire, you can still apply poisons to the blade of the Shishkebab. The damage over time from the applied poison stacks with the immolation damage.

If a character has the Pyromaniac perk and a poison-coated Shishkebab, it becomes the most damaging melee weapon in the game.

Behind the scenes
