Knife Spear

The knife spear is a weapon $$

Gameplay
The knife spear is a two-handed Melee weapon often carried by the ghost people of the Sierra Madre. It is constructed by duct-taping four cosmic knives to the end of a broomstick handle.

Special attack
It has a special attack called Mauler that does normal damage in V.A.T.S. at the cost of the normal 35 action points but adds a chance to knock down opponents (requires a Melee skill of 50).

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 knife spear can successfully strike about 1995 times from full condition before breaking.

Crafting
This weapon can be crafted by the player character.

Creation requirements

Variants

 * Knife spear clean
 * Throwing knife spear
 * Throwing spear

Locations

 * They can commonly be found on ghost people, particularly harvesters and seekers.
 * One can be found in the area outside the Villa police station, impaling a skeleton by a fountain near the wide staircase leading to the station.

Bugs

 * Due to the knife spear being a re-skin of the baseball bat:
 * Enemy blood on the spear will be floating off of the surface.
 * The player character's palm will be stretched out. This happens with the baseball bat but because the bat is bigger than the spear, it can not normally be seen.
 * The knife spear can, due to an unknown bug, disappear in the third person point of view, but reappear in the first person point of view. Although the knife spear disappears in the third person point of view, it can still be usable in combat as if the knife spear is still there active. (Reloading a previous save does not fix this issue, nor does dropping the knife spear (even though in third person point of view, it appears on the ground, it will disappear again when equipping it).
