Steel Saw

The steel saw is a melee weapon available in the Fallout 3 add-on The Pitt.

Background
The steel saw is the standard tool of many Pitt slaves to cut metal.

Characteristics
The steel saw is a weaker version of the auto axe, dealing roughly half as much damage. It appears to be a modified concrete cutter or concrete saw, with a rotating metal blade. Slaves use the steel saw for cutting through metal objects. However, this does not translate to an in-game damage bonus against robots.

Durability
The steel saw can successfully strike about 625 times from full condition before breaking.

Variants

 * Auto axe - a modified and stronger version of the steel saw made out of old car parts
 * Man Opener - a stronger variant that ignores armor (power armor included).
 * The Mauler - the strongest variant of auto-axe.

Locations

 * A chance to loot this item occurs during the slave revolt, as several slaves will die, and some may have this weapon on their bodies.
 * Can be found on Adan's body, near the bus, during the slave revolt.
 * Brand carries one.

Bugs
Sometimes, the saw will not show in first person at all, making it very hard to tell where you're hitting.
