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.

In addition to its damage causing potential, the cattle prod also causes fatigue damage, which can help knock out your enemies quicker.

Its special V.A.T.S. attack is "Lights Out", which does 125% damage at the cost of 36 action points (requires a Melee skill of 50).

Durability
The cattle prod can successfully strike about 2495 times from full condition before breaking.
