Jack (weapon)

Jack is a unique variant of the uncommon melee weapon, the ripper. It is equal in power per single hit to its cousin, but has a higher potential damage rate, due to its slight but noticeable boost to the critical hit rate. It also does an extra 50% damage against limbs.

Characteristics

 * The higher critical chance increases the power of this weapon enormously because it hits over 30 times per second. The listed weapon damage is divided over the individual hits, but the critical bonus damage is not. This means every hit has a normal chance to critical and do the full critical bonus damage.
 * If one performs a sneak attack critical with the Better Criticals perk while holding this weapon, he/she has the chance to do a brutal 60+ hit... 30 times in a second!
 * With 10 Luck,100 Melee Weapons, Finesse, Superior Defender, Ghoul Ecology,Better Criticals, and Bloody Mess,this weapon can kill regular super mutants in less than 1 second, brutes in 1 second, raiders in less than 1 second, deathclaws in 2 seconds,and overlords in 4.

Locations
After the The Waters of Life quest, Jack will appear in the Deathclaw Sanctuary, on the body of the second dead Enclave officer in the southern area of the cave. If all deathclaws have previously been killed, then the Enclave officer will spawn with a very low amount of health - approximately 2 bars.

Appearances
Jack appears only in Fallout 3.

Behind the scenes

 * This weapon's name is a reference to Jack the Ripper, one of the most infamous serial killers in history.

Bugs

 * The ripper will stop making the chainsaw noise while held against a solid object.
