The Mauler

The Mauler is a unique AutoAxe given to the Lone Wanderer by Everett during the quest Unsafe Working Conditions once he or she has handed 80 Steel Ingots.

Statistics
It has a larger damage/hit and damage/second ratio compared to the standard AutoAxe (45 compared to 35) and uses less AP (50 compared to 65). This weapon also seems to automatically block when you are attacked by another melee weapon.

History
Everett says that this one of his favorite weapons, and used it to chop up ghouls and trogs from The Pitt to Monroeville. The mention of ghouls is likely a reference to the fact that the Monroeville Mall was the location where the original "Dawn of the Dead" was filmed.

Bugs

 * Grinding barrels and other physics objects will usually result in damage, as they will be pulled violently into the player, then spat off in some random direction at a decent rate of speed proportional to the mass of the object; Cars will sometimes scoot towards you, barrels will hit a player hard enough to damage, and shopping carts rocket off like bats out of hell. It is possible to kill NPCs with lots of patience and no repercussions, by repeatedly flinging barrels at them with the Mauler.
