Broad Machete

The Broad machete is a weapon in Fallout: New Vegas. It is a pre-order exclusive close-combat weapon, included with the Tribal Pack, that is significantly stronger than the normal Machete favored by members of the Legion.

Characteristics
The Broad Machete has a unique world model and an appearance that sets it apart from other Machetes; the blade is a well-traveled and well-honed blade, a more conventional machete as opposed to the makeshift design used by the Legionaires. It also has a unique Pip-Boy icon when selected.

The Broad Machete is similar to the Machete only in that both are Machetes. The Broad Machete has considerably higher DPS (especially at higher levels), and a higher base damage as well. These factors conspire to make it an excellent weapon for melee-based characters, especially early on, where the Broad Machete tends to outperform other melee weapons by a considerable factor.

Like all Machetes, it does bonus damage versus limbs. This is an innate property of the weapon.

Variants

 * Machete Gladius
 * Machete

Locations
This weapon cannot be found anywhere in game. It is available only with the tribal pack to players who pre-ordered their games from Amazon.

Bugs

 * Due to an error, there is no text pointing out the Broad Machete's bonus limb damage in the Pip-Boy, though the weapon does have that ability.
