Knife Spear

The knife spear is a weapon in the Fallout: New Vegas add-on Dead Money.

Characteristics
The knife spear is a two-handed Melee weapon often carried by the ghost people of the Sierra Madre. It is constructed by duct-taping three cosmic knives to the end of a broom stick handle.

Special attack
It has a special Mauler attack that does normal damage in V.A.T.S. at the cost of the normal 35 action points, but adds a chance to knock down opponents (requires a Melee skill of 50).

It is possible to execute Mauler outside of V.A.T.S. (without the required Melee skill of 50 to perform the move) by initiating a power attack (hold attack button) while moving forward.

Durability
The knife spear can successfully strike about 1995 times from full condition before breaking.

Crafting
This weapon can be crafted by the player.

Locations

 * They can commonly be found on ghost people.
 * One can be found in the area outside the Villa Police Station, impaling a skeleton by a fountain near the wide staircase leading to the station.

Bugs

 * Due to the knife spear being a re-skin of the baseball bat:
 * Enemy blood on the spear will be floating off the surface.
 * The player's palm will be stretched out. This happens with the baseball bat but because the bat is bigger than the knife spear, it can not normally be seen.
