Police Baton (Fallout: New Vegas)

The police baton is a weapon in Fallout: New Vegas.

Characteristics
A weapon meant to keep order, used by long-gone police. Now used by peacekeepers and trouble-makers alike. Its special V.A.T.S. attack is "Lights Out", which does 125% damage at the cost of 29 action points (requires a Melee skill of 50). Outside of V.A.T.S., this can be used as a power attack by pressing forward while attacking. When used the player charges forward, jumps with the weapon raised above his/her head and strikes downward.

Durability
The police baton can successfully strike about 1245 times from full condition before breaking.

Locations

 * Potentially obtainable at the start of the game, during Ghost Town Gunfight/Run Goodsprings Run. You may take them off the corpses of Joe Cobb's powder ganger friends after they die during the fire fight in Goodsprings.
 * Can be found on a dead scavenger (Mr. RADical) southeast of Novac in Clark Field.
 * Multiple police batons can be found in Vault 34.
 * May be used sometimes by Freeside thugs.
 * Powder Gangers sometimes have them.

Bugs

 * Stealing NCR Chief Hanlon's police baton out of his personal locker at the foot of his bed and going outside and dropping it then tossing it off the concrete ledge at the resort will always result in a system freeze and will require a hard shutdown.
 * Placing a police baton in your 1st weapons locker at your Lucky 38 presidential suite and then adding another one and then removing both will show there being two in the locker and 2 in your inventory but when the two in your locker are taken out it will show just the two in your inventory. (This bug does not affect anything as you do not get more police batons).
