Chinese Officer's Sword (Fallout 3)

Chinese Officer's Sword is a melee weapon found in Fallout 3. These weapons are encountered in use in Capital Wasteland-quite possibly a leftover from the United States' war with China, an event that triggered the Great War.



Use
Vance of The Family carries a unique strengthened version of this weapon called the Vampire's Edge. Clover of Paradise Falls carries one of these by default but it does not show up in trade like all NPC default weapons. The only Chinese Officer's Swords worth using are these +5 dmg unique ones.

The best is the self-made Shishkebab (37 dmg +2fire/5sec) which looks and acts exactly like a flaming Chinese Officer's Sword.

Strategy
Even right out of the Vault a Chinese Officer's Sword is too weak (15 dmg). A cheap sledgehammer (25 dmg) does more damage and has a bigger swing radius. So, unless its your special Radroach killin sword, consider finding something more effective.

Locations
Chinese Officer's Swords may be found on random Raiders across the Wastelands.

Additionally, Chinese Officer's Swords may always be found in the following locations:
 * Megaton, in Jericho's house, next to a teddy bear
 * Republic of Dave, in the Museum of Dave
 * On a Dead Chinese Commando, as a result of a random event.
 * Mama Dolce's Officer is another holder of this sword.
 * While in wasteland you can sometimes pick Chinese radio frequency, if it occurs search nearby areas for body of Chinese commando.
 * Can be found found on several insane inhabitants of Vault 106
