Ripper (Fallout 4)

The Ripper is a melee weapon in Fallout 4.

Background
A short-bladed, chainsaw-like device that was used by the military before the war, most likely used both as a weapon and as a general-purpose cutting tool.

Characteristics
The Ripper is a chain-blade type weapon that has very high DPS. Unlike its implementation in previous Fallout games, it can execute a powerful slashing attack on command outside of V.A.T.S. thanks to the addition of a separate melee power attack button. It is affected by the same perks as all melee weapons.

A Ripper normally inflicts 7 hits per attack in V.A.T.S., but is dealt rapidly in a short period of time, making a wounding variant one of the most powerful weapons in the game, but when executing a V.A.T.S. critical attack, it seems to only do 1 hit; this may be a bug.

Variants

 * Reckoning, which is sold by Smiling Larry either during a random encounter or at a weapon emporium if he is recruited as a settler. Reckoning has the effect that you take 15% less damage when standing and not moving.
 * The Harvester, the unique Ripper found in Echo Lake Lumber in the Fallout 4 add-on Far Harbor.

Locations

 * One location for the Ripper is in the West Everett Estates, more specifically inside a shack next to a yellow house, just before the entrance to Backyard Bunker. Inside just beside the entrance to the bunker, on a cabinet you will find the Ripper.
 * It can also be bought from Arturo Rodriguez, in Diamond City.
 * May also spawn on high level gunners.
