Gehenna (GRA)

Gehenna is a melee weapon added with the Fallout: New Vegas add-on Gun Runners' Arsenal.

Specifications
Gehenna is the GRA variant of the Shishkebab, a flaming melee weapon which sets the target on fire upon impact. Although it appears to run on fuel from the tank on the player's back, it actually uses no fuel at all.

Gameplay Attributes
In comparison to the standard Shishkebab, Gehenna has a more pronounced and brighter flame, the valve is blue instead of the standard red, its handle is black, and the motorcycle gas tank is more rusted. Gehenna inflicts greater damage / DPS and it uses fewer action points in V.A.T.S. than the Shishkebab. Its special move in V.A.T.S. is called "Back slash."

Variants

 * Shishkebab - the common variant found in the Mojave.

Locations

 * Gun Runners, sold by Vendortron.

Bugs

 * Sometimes when you switch between the 3rd person view and the 1st person view, the flames don't appear. Removing and re-equipping the weapon fixes this problem.
 * Sometimes when switching Gehenna out for a hot keyed weapon the tank will remain on the players back.
 * When used by companions, the blade and tank will not appear, only the oven mitt on the right hand will appear, strangely.
 * Having Gehenna drawn in 3rd person and diving into water will cause the flame to go out for a second and light back up even though the player is underwater.

Behind the scenes

 * Gehenna is a valley located outside ancient Jerusalem and was a place where various pagans sacrificed humans by throwing them in fire, and later, as Jerusalem and Judaism developed, waste would be burned there. Due to the increasing population, and thus waste, the fire was said to burn continually, and Dante used this to produce an image of hell, which is now the most widespread representation: a place where evil people go to burn for eternity.
 * Gehenna is Aramaic for "lake of fire".
