The Humble Cudgel

 is a weapon in Fallout: New Vegas. It is a unique variant of the Lead pipe (Fallout: New Vegas).

Characteristics
The Humble Cudgel deals an extra 4 damage over its non-unique counterpart, and uses 3AP less per attack, when wielded in V.A.T.S. It also has 50% more Condition than a standard lead pipe.

However, it has a somewhat shorter reach than a regular lead pipe; most likely a result of the kink in the main section of the pipe itself.

Like the Lead Pipe, the Humble Cudgel has a V.A.T.S. attack called Lights Out!, which costs 30 AP to use, but inflicts an additional 25% damage. You must have at least 50 in Melee Weapons to have access to this attack.

Variants

 * Lead pipe

Locations
The Northern Sewers are accessed via a door in The Thorn. Once inside the Northern Sewers, head down to the bottom center of the map where you'll find a large pipe which is the entrance to the Central Sewers. Head straight and take the left at the T intersection (Ghoul Roamers and Giant Rats populate the area) then look NE and see a red light in the next tunnel. That light marks a door, inside will be the corpse of "Blind" Luke, take the key off his corpse as you'll be needing it to access the sealed door. Next, head south to find a sandbag wall and a couple of NCR troops in a tunnel. Go W past this tunnel and up a couple of ramps to find a group of about five Fiends guarding a door. Go S through the door and the next room to see a set of metal stairs. At the top of the stairs is the door you needed to get the key for. It leads to the Sealed Sewers. Inside the Sealed Sewers there are a handful of assorted Ghouls, including roamers, reavers, and glowing ones. Kill them and in the first room on the left will be a dead Prospector, loot him for The Humble Cudgel. In his duffle bag there's a copy of Lad's Life.
