Broad Machete

The broad machete is a weapon in Fallout: New Vegas. It is a pre-order exclusive close-combat weapon, included with the Tribal Pack, that is significantly stronger than the normal Machete favored by members of the Legion. It can be repaired with other Machetes.

The Broad Machete has a unique world model and an appearance that sets it apart from other Machetes; the blade is a well-traveled and well-honed blade, a more conventional machete as opposed to the makeshift design used by the Legionaires. It also has a unique Pip-Boy icon when selected.

Characteristics
The Broad Machete is similar to the Machete only in that both are Machetes. The Broad Machete has considerably higher DPS (especially at higher levels), and a higher base damage as well. These factors conspire to make it an excellent weapon for melee-based characters, especially early on, where the Broad Machete tends to outperform other melee weapons by a considerable factor.

Like all Machetes, it does bonus damage versus limbs. This is an innate property of the weapon.

It can be repaired using regular Machetes.

Bugs
Due to an error, there is no text pointing out the Broad Machete's bonus limb damage in the Pip-Boy, though the weapon does have that ability.

Locations
This weapon cannot be found anywhere in game.

It is available only with the tribal pack to players who pre-ordered their games from Amazon.
