Ripper (GRA)

The Ripper (GRA) is a weapon in the Fallout: New Vegas add-on Gun Runners' Arsenal.

Characteristics
This Ripper has been specially designed by the Gun Runners to accept modifications, unlike its standard variant. This customizable version is able to deliver even more continuous amounts of damage against its targets, being able to dismember enemy limbs with ease. It is considered an improved holdout weapon.

Special attack
It has a special Long Cut attack that does 50% damage in V.A.T.S. at the cost of 20 less action points (requires a Melee skill of 50).

Durability
The Ripper (GRA) can successfully strike 5,995 times, or 8,995 times when equipped with the heavy-duty chain, from full condition before breaking.
