Ripper (Fallout: New Vegas)

The ripper is a weapon in Fallout: New Vegas.

Characteristics
Good for a low-mid level melee player. The beauty of the ripper is that the attack button can be held down and it will attempt to dismember anything in front of the player. this makes it very good for large hordes or large, slow creatures

Locations

 * Carried by Legionary Assassin
 * One available after passing a speech check at Mick & Ralph's with Mick (Fallout: New Vegas).

Appearances

Bugs

 * A random Ripper can be found in your inventory. It is unknown how it gets there and it cannot be put into another container or picked back up if dropped. (I found that it is given to you by Arcade Gannon right before he leaves and gives you two stimpacks, along with the ripper. It seems like the same one he uses and would thus explain why it cannot be picked back up as no follower weapons can be picked up once dropped.)
