Samurai's Sword

The  is a melee weapon from before the Great War added to Fallout 3 in the Mothership Zeta add-on.

Characteristics
The Samurai's Sword does higher damage than most other melee weapons; however, it lacks the special effects of Jingwei's Shocksword or the Shishkebab. On the other hand, it has a relatively low AP cost compared to similar weapons, allowing for more attacks in V.A.T.S.

Obtaining

It is at the "end" of the area in a closet full of medical supplies (see Waste Disposal article for a map with the location marked).
