Old Glory

Old Glory is a melee weapon in the Fallout: New Vegas add-on Lonesome Road.

Characteristics
Old Glory is the signature weapon of Ulysses. It is a maple staff capped with a golden eagle. Its special V.A.T.S. attack is "Grand Slam", which does 200% damage at the cost of 35 action points (requires a Melee skill of 50).

Locations

 * Old Glory can be found on the body of Ulysses, if the player chooses to fight him.
 * It appears in Ulysses' footlocker upon the completion of Lonesome Road.

Behind the scenes

 * The name "Old Glory" is a nickname of the flag of the United States of America.
 * The idea of carrying a gold or silver pole with an eagle on top dates back to the Legions of the Roman Republic in which each legion had two "Eagles" which were to never be captured. They symbolized the courage of the members of the legion. Since Ulysses was/is a member of the Legion, he may have been an eagle bearer, showing Caesar's insistence on imitating Rome.
 * Ulysses' dialogue in Lonesome Road indicates his eagle staff is an Old World symbol.
