Shishkebab (Fallout 3)

The Shishkebab is a makeshift "flaming sword," and is most notable for having the highest damage per second of all the melee weapons. The schematics are required to build a Shishkebab.

The Operation: Anchorage DLC pack adds Jingwei's Shock Sword to the game, which does the same damage as the Shishkebab. However, the Shishkebab is affected by Pyromaniac, and thus is even stronger than the Shock Sword if the player has this perk.

Construction
See main article: Schematics - Shishkebab.

Characteristics
The Shishkebab, in addition to its Melee damage, will also set enemies on fire, dealing 2 damage per second for 5 seconds. The Pyromaniac perk will also increase the Shishkebab's melee damage to 60 and and fire damage from 2 to 3 damage per second for 5 seconds. Any humanoid follower can use a Shishkebab. Like all custom weapons it can be upgraded with V2, V3 etc.

Trivia

 * "Shish kebab" is a Turkish dish consisting of meat threaded on a skewer and grilled."Shish" literally means skewer.
 * The Shishkebab crudely resembles Nero's Red Queen sword from Devil May Cry 4, down to being a flaming sword with a motorcycle handbrake.
 * The shishkabob resembles a Ninjato greatly, it posesses a straight, single edged blade and a hilt without a crossguard (common of most non-european weapons).
 * It may be a reference to the flaming sword that was placed in front of The Garden of Eden to keep out Adam and Eve in the Judeo-Christian belief system. The sword plays a role in the film The Fountain which Todd Howard is known to be a huge fan of.

Appearances
The Shishkebab appears only in Fallout 3.
