Shovel (Fallout: New Vegas)

The shovel is a weapon and a tool in Fallout: New Vegas.

Characteristics
A wood handled shovel, useful for digging up graves. In combat it can be used against weaker enemies without wasting ammunition, but it lacks the durability of stronger melee weapons.

Locations

 * Outside of Goodsprings next to a water valve near the Goodsprings Source you come across it in the in-game tutorial by Sunny Smiles, most notably it is fully repaired, costs no caps and doesn't take the player outside of the starting area where they are prompted to rebuild the character or continue.
 * You can buy one in poor condition from Chet in the Goodsprings General Store, unless you kill him first.
 * You can sometimes buy one from Johnson Nash in Primm.
