The Dismemberer

The Dismemberer is a unique axe which is added to Fallout 3 with the Point Lookout add-on.

Characteristics
It looks identical to the regular axe, albeit more powerful, and has the ability to gib enemies without the Bloody Mess perk.

Durability
The Dismemberer can successfully strike about 480 times from full condition before breaking, roughly 20 hits less than the standard axe.

Variants

 * Axe - The common variant found in Point Lookout.

Location
This axe is given as a reward by Plik after completing Plik's Safari.

Bugs

 * If the player character decides to kill Plik upon entry of the coastal grotto, the Dismemberer may appear on his corpse without completing the quest.
 * If one kills an unnamed non-player character with neutral or good Karma in one strike, and all their limbs sever and is witnessed, other non-player characters will not turn hostile towards the player character.
 * Upon activating the quest and killing Plik, the Dismemberer will appear on his body, but only if he is dismembered into giblets upon death—particularly through means of a powerful sneak attack critical with the Bloody Mess perk.
 * On rare occasions, the pieces of the body may remain suspended in the air while the body falls to the ground.
