Cosmic Knife Super-Heated

The cosmic knife super-heated is a weapon in the Fallout: New Vegas add-on Dead Money.

Background
The cosmic knife super-heated was accidentally discovered by a chef, when one was left on a hot (450 degrees) stove under a pot for five minutes. The alloy retained so much heat that the blade glowed red-hot. The handle was safe to hold, but when the chef put it down on a table, it melted the table.

Characteristics
The cosmic knife super-heated appears as an ordinary cosmic knife with a slight orange glow. It will set enemies on fire for a brief period when a critical hit is made. It also has a significantly higher critical multiplier than the other variants. Its special V.A.T.S. attack is the Flambé Cut, which does 90% damage at a cost of 20 action points.

Durability
The cosmic knife super-heated can successfully strike about 745 times from full condition before breaking.

Crafting
This weapon must be crafted by the player. It cannot be found on enemies or in containers.
 * The required schematics are on a locked terminal (Science 25), in the utility room in the center of the Executive suites floor of the Sierra Madre Casino.

Creation requirements

Variants

 * Cosmic knife
 * Cosmic knife clean

Bugs

 * The cosmic knife super-heated is not affected by the Cowboy or Super Slam perks.
 * Although capable of setting non-player characters on fire, this weapon is not affected by the Pyromaniac perk.
 * The glow layer texture for this weapon is referenced by the weapon's model, but was not included in the resources for Dead Money. This indicates the weapon was intended to produce a glow from only certain parts of the weapon, but instead provides a glow over the entire weapon due to the missing texture.
