Proton Axe

The proton axe is a weapon in the Fallout: New Vegas add-on Old World Blues.

Characteristics
The proton axe resembles a futuristic war-axe with a glowing blue blade of electrical energy at its head. On the other side it has two capacitors which also share the same blue electric current. It deals electrical damage with extra damage against robots and power armor users. It can be repaired with the inexpensive proton throwing axe, raising its resell value drastically.

Special attack
It has a special Proton Electrocutioner attack that does 200% damage in V.A.T.S. at the cost of 13 more action points (requires a Melee skill of 50).

It is possible to execute Proton Electrocutioner 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 proton axe can successfully strike about 995 times from full condition before breaking.
