X-2 Antenna

The X-2 antenna is a unique weapon in the Fallout: New Vegas add-on Old World Blues.

Characteristics
It is one of the many special antennas used to make the radar-guided repulsive field around the Big Mountain Research and Development Center, and for the transmissions of the X-2 array. When used as a weapon it focuses brainwave patterns and does electrical damage, causing extra damage to robots and power armor users.

Special attack
It has a special Pain Frequency attack that does 200% damage in V.A.T.S. at the cost of 13 more action points (requires a Melee skill of 50). Note that in Fallout: New Vegas melee weapons do double normal weapon damage when used in V.A.T.S.

It is possible to execute Pain Frequency 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 X-2 antenna can successfully strike about 620 times from full condition before breaking.

Location

 * The X-2 transmitter antenna array can be found on top of the satellite dish.
