Pint-Sized Slasher mask

The Pint-Sized Slasher Gear consists of a knife and a clown mask. Equipping them like a Halloween costume turns your character into the Pint-Sized Slasher a pre-war serial killer of unknown origin, believed by some to be more than a myth.

Location

 * It is obtained during the Tranquility Lane quest. If you decide to help Betty kill all the residents of Tranquility Lane.


 * The gear consists of a knife and a clown mask. They are located in a doghouse and are automatically equipped when you receive them.


 * At the end of the quest, these items are automatically removed from your inventory.

Trivia
One of the newspapers shown when loading saved games mentions 'The Pint-Sized Slasher' in a side story. The full article can be accessed via the Capitol Post newspaper office in L'Enfant Plaza. This gear, while undoubtedly not an easter egg by itself, may be a nod to Halloween, as Michael is shown at the beginning of the movie as a kid with a clown mask and a kitchen knife slashing up his sister.

There is a cheat on the PC version that will take you to a room with every item. When you leave, using another cheat, you have the mask and the knife equipped and they cannot be changed. To remove the mask once equipped, type "player.removeitem 000340fc 1" in the console. The reason this happens is because the items have a script attached since they're meant to be provided in the Tranquility Lane simulation. This script means the player cannot remove them (so the dialog makes sense) until he's/she's performed the tasks set. Obtaining them via other means still fires the scripts.


 * This only happens when you take all the items from the mailboxes. Take the stuff one by one, don't take slasher gear and a unique rolling pin that also can't be unequipped (you can tell it apart from an ordinary rolling pin, unique has higher damage) and you won't have the gear on you.


 * This only happens because when you pick up these items, the game thinks that you are in that quest, as in that quest these items are automatically equipped.
