Blade of the West

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

Background
These are the crude blades crafted by former Caesar's legionaries after they became marked men. Like distant mirrors of their new and unknown Legate and a symbol they can hold on to, while The Divide tears at them.

Characteristics
A smaller, stronger variant of the bumper sword. It is slightly weaker than the Blade of the East, held by Legate 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.

It has a special 'Mauler' attack, which does 50% damage and has a chance to knock enemies down or disarm them. This can be selected in V.A.T.S. at the cost of 38 action points (requires a Melee skill of 50), or activated by running and holding down the attack button.

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