Oh, Baby!

Oh, Baby! is a weapon in Fallout: New Vegas.

Characteristics
Oh, Baby! is a unique variant of the super sledge. It is much more powerful than the standard variant and has noticeably larger striking surfaces. Despite its rusted condition, it is one of the most powerful melee weapons in the game.

Special attack
It has a special Mauler attack that does 50% damage in V.A.T.S. at the cost of 8 more action points, but has a chance to knock down enemies (requires a Melee skill of 50). Note that in Fallout: New Vegas melee weapons do double normal weapon damage when used in V.A.T.S.

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
Oh, Baby! can successfully strike about 495 times from full condition before breaking.

Bugs

 * When given to a companion, they will tend to use Oh, Baby! even when their companion wheel is set to use ranged attacks.
 * The Oh, Baby! may not spawn.
 * A bighorner body may spawn on top of the Oh, Baby! and cannot be moved. However, with C-4 or the Bloody Mess perk, it is possible to destroy the bighorner corpse.
