Chainsaw (Fallout: New Vegas)

The chainsaw is a weapon in Fallout: New Vegas.

Characteristics
An old fusion-powered chainsaw makes a fine melee weapon following the nuclear holocaust. It's heavy, but deals lots of damage. You need 7 Strength and a Melee Weapons skill of 75 to use it effectively.

The Chainsaw is similar in operation and use to the Auto axe from the Fallout 3 add-on The Pitt. In many ways, it is used similar to the Ripper in that it can be used to either slash at an enemy or stab and continue to cause damage. Also like the Ripper, it does a catastrophic level of damage if used in V.A.T.S. attacks. It possesses a special attack, called Scrap Heap (+25% damage, costs 5 extra AP) that is usable in V.A.T.S.; this attack is a 2-handed downward swing with the chainsaw.

Note that the Chainsaw, along with the Ripper, is one of two weapons in Fallout: New Vegas that computer-controlled NPCs use differently than the player. Rather than use the thrust attack, they use the VATS-styled slash. This is something to be feared, since this slash deals truly catastrophic levels of damage; if an enemy using it gets a lucky strike, they can kill a low-to-medium-leveled Courier in a single blow.
