Shishkebab (Fallout 3)



The Shishkebab is a "flaming sword" that can be made from a Motorcycle Gas Tank, a Motorcycle Handbrake, a Lawnmower Blade, and a Pilot Light. It can be constructed with the use of the proper schematics and has the highest damage per second of all the melee weapons.

Locations

 * One set of schematics can be obtained from Vance at the end of the Blood Ties questline. You can also kill Vance to obtain his fully functional but degraded Shishkebab.


 * Lucky Harith, the weapon specialized Caravan Merchant, sells a set of schematics.


 * You can find a set near a workbench in a red Brotherhood Outcast shack, to the south-west of SatCom Array NN-03d. The shack does not appear on the map, but is at the base of the hill the Array is built on.

Components
Once you have the schematics, you will need a workbench and one each of the following items:

Part Locations

 * All of the parts needed can be easily found around the town of Minefield; you'll find a Motorcycle Gas Tank and Motorcycle Handbrake just outside Gillian House`s front door and you can find a Pilot Light at the Gibson House just to the right when you enter the house, inside the oven in the kitchen, and there are broken lawnmowers all over Minefield with Lawnmower Blades inside.


 * Pilot lights can be found inside most houses with an intact oven.


 * Motorcycle Gas Tanks and Handbrakes are generally found next to each other. If you see a broken down motorcycle, you'll usually find some of these nearby.


 * Almost all of the parts can also be found in Bethesda Offices East in Bethesda Ruins.


 * The Raider camp right outside of Friendship Station has all the motorcycle components for the Shishkebab.


 * A broken motorcycle will be found on top of Rivet City, with parts scattered around.


 * Multiples of all parts can be found in Lucky's shop southwest of Warrington Station.


 * The Motorcycle Handbrake and Gas Tank can be found in the vicinity of Springvale Elementary School.


 * You can find all the components for the Shishkebab at Pinkertons workshop (if you don't mind a little bad karma) in the broken bow of Rivet City. You can even use the workbench on the second level (just make sure he doesn't see you take the components or use the workbench).


 * Two Motorcycle Handbrakes and a Gas Tank can be found in Smith Casey's Garage.


 * The abandoned houses near (but not actually in) Big Town have a lot of Lawnmowers lying around, with the Blades inside of them.


 * Abandoned power substations often have the Gas Tank, Handbrake and Lawnmower Blade.


 * A lawnmower blade can be found in the Farragut West Metro station just west of the Super Duper Mart. It is in a lawnmower in a corridor halfway down the stairs.


 * Multiple lawnmower blades can be found in the Arlington House in Arlington Cemetary

Trivia

 * The Shishkebab looks a lot like a crude version of Nero's Red Queen sword from Devil May Cry 4, down to being a flaming sword with a motorcycle handbrake.


 * It may also be a reference to the sword Trueflame from Tribunal (a Morrowind expansion pack), another Bethesda game.


 * The Shishkebab weighs less than half of its total components.


 * Shish kebab is a Middle Eastern dish consisting of meat threaded on a skewer and grilled.

Appearances

 * Shishkebab appears only in Fallout 3.
