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. Has a charge attack called 'Lights Out', also accessible in VATS. When used the player charges forward, jumps with the weapon raised above his/her head and strikes downward. Needs good timing to ensure a hit on the enemy, especially if the target is moving as well. This attack is not as useful in VATS, since to use the attack you have to be in melee range, and thus cannot benefit from the charge. The character will just run in place before performing the jump-attack.

Locations

 * Can be found on a dead Scavenger (Mr. RADical) southeast of Novac during the Come Fly With Me quest.
 * Multiple Police Batons can be found in Vault 34

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 legde 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)
