Cattle Prod (Fallout: New Vegas)

The cattle prod is a weapon in Fallout: New Vegas.

Characteristics
The cattle prod is a metal pole with an electrically-charged coil wrapped around the end. Normally used for herding stubborn cattle, it has been re-purposed as a non-lethal weapon against humans.

The cattle prod is able to knock out enemies quickly because, in addition to lowering health, it causes fatigue damage. It requires 3 Strength to use.

It is particularly useful against dangerous enemies because it knocks them out after a few blows. You can then attack their unconscious bodies at will.

It's special V.A.T.S. attack is "Lights Out", which does 125% damage at the cost of 36 action points.
