Shishkebab (Fallout 3)

The Shishkebab is a melee weapon in Fallout 3.

Characteristics
The Shishkebab is a makeshift "flaming sword" that requires the appropriate schematics to build. The motorcycle gas tank provides a reservoir of fuel, the handbrake becomes the handguard and likely the ignition trigger for the pilot light, the lawn mower blade becomes the blade of the sword, and the pilot light ignites the fuel-coated blade when it is drawn.

The Shishkebab, in addition to its Melee damage, will also set enemies on fire, dealing 2 damage per second for 5 seconds. The Pyromaniac perk will also increase the Shishkebab's melee damage and boost fire damage from 2 to 3 damage per second for 5 seconds. Any humanoid follower can use a Shishkebab. Like all custom weapons it can be upgraded with v2 or v3 Schematics.

Location

 * Vance wields a Shishkebab which will be in poor condition if looted from him after killing him.

Behind the scenes

 * "Shish kebab" is a traditional Turkish dish consisting of meat threaded on a skewer and grilled.
 * In the German version, the weapon is called "Rösti", after a dish consisting mainly of chopped-up and fried potatoes.
