Blade of the West

The Blade of the West is a weapon in the Fallout: New Vegas add-on Lonesome Road.

Background
These are the blades crafted by former Caesar's legionaries after they became marked men. Each is basically a crude imitation of Legate Lanius' Blade of the East, acting as a symbol they can hold on to while enduring the pain inflicted by The Divide.

Characteristics
A smaller, stronger variant of the bumper sword. It is slightly weaker than the Blade of the East, held by Lanius, though it has a higher DPS. It is cleaner in appearance than the bumper sword and Blade of the East, with a polished blade and without rope connecting the bumper and pipe.

Special attack
It has a special Mauler attack, which does only 50% damage in V.A.T.S. at a cost of 9 more action points, but has the chance to knock enemies down.

It is possible to execute Mauler outside of V.A.T.S. (without the required Melee skill of 50 to perform the move) by initiating a power attack (hold attack button) while moving forward.

Durability
The Blade of the West can successfully strike about 745 times from full condition before breaking.
