Nuka-Breaker (GRA)

The Nuka Breaker is a melee weapon added with the Fallout: New Vegas add-on Gun Runners' Arsenal.

Characteristics
Copies of this rare rebar club variant weapon, the Nuka Breaker, can be purchased at no less than two vendors after the Gun Runners (Fallout: New Vegas) DLC is installed. It is a Nuka-Cola sign, now re-purposed as a devastating melee weapon. It consists of a somewhat-functioning Nuka-Cola neon sign that uses a self-contained power supply, which is mounted on a pole with an electrical cord wrapped around the top, and tape at the bottom. It does bonus electrical damage when a Critical Hit occurs.

Special attack
It has a special Nuka-Break attack that does regular damage in V.A.T.S., but at the cost of 7 more action points (requires a Melee skill of 50).

It is possible to execute Nuka-Break 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 Nuka Breaker can successfully strike about 995 times from full condition before breaking.

 * Rebar club - the weaker and heavier common variant found in the Mojave Wasteland.

Locations

 * Mick & Ralph's, sold by Mick.
 * Gun Runners, sold by Vendortron if Mick is dead.

Behind the scenes

 * The Nuka Breaker was created as a nod to the 2011 fan-made short film and webseries Fallout: Nuka Break. The Fallout: Nuka Break team put the Nuka Breaker in episode 3 after seeing it in a pre-release screenshot of Gun Runners' Arsenal before they knew that Obsidian was referencing their series.
