Blade of the West

The Blade of the West is a Melee skill weapon in the Fallout: New Vegas add-on Lonesome Road.

Background
These are the crude blades crafted by former Caesar's legionaries after they became marked men. Like distant mirrors of their new and unknown Legate and a symbol they can hold on to, while The Divide tears at them.

Characteristics
A smaller variant of the bumper sword, although stronger, it is slightly weaker than the Blade of the East held by Legate Lanius, although it has a higher DPS. It is cleaner in appearance than the bumper sword and Blade of the East, with a polished blade and without rope connecting the bumper and pipe.

It has a special 'Mauler' attack, which does 50% damage and has a chance to knock enemies down or disarm them. This can be selected in V.A.T.S. at the cost of 38 action points (requires a Melee skill of 50), or activated by running and holding down the attack button.

Variants

 * Bumper sword
 * Blade of the East

Locations

 * It is found in The Divide, occasionally caried by marked men marauders.
