Lead Pipe (Fallout: New Vegas)

The lead pipe is a weapon in Fallout: New Vegas.

Characteristics
One of the ends has tape wrapped around it to improve grip, while the other is heavily corroded and/or bloodstained, and topped with a thick metal bolt. Though it has a short reach, it has decent damage and a fast swing, making it an especially good melee weapon for players who are just starting out.

It has a charge attack called "Lights Out", where the player makes a quick dash at the enemy, lifts the pipe over their head, and swiftly brings it down upon the target.

Variants

 * The Humble Cudgel

Locations
This item can commonly be found on raiders and other variants of hostile human characters like Powder gangers. In Primm, there will be more than four Escaped Convicts using lead pipes. Also used by Viper gunslingers, as well as the common wastelander.
