Ripper (weapon)

The RipperTM vibroblade is a melee weapon found in Fallout, Fallout 2, Fallout 3 and Fallout Tactics. Powered by a small energy cell, the chainblade rips and tears into its target.

Fallout 3
Rare compared to other melee weapons in Fallout 3, the Ripper is unique as a player can hold down the attack button and an enemy at melee range will continuously receive damage. It also does not require an energy source, unlike in previous games.

Locations

 * One can be found in the Marigold Station, behind the locked door with the turning light.
 * A Ripper can be found on the AntAgonizer.
 * It can be bought at Tenpenny Tower from Chief Gustavo.
 * There are around 5 Rippers in Andale, both in the basement and in the shed.
 * Can sometimes be found in the Underworld. Tulip sells 2 of them for fairly cheap.(30-50 caps)
 * Enclave soldiers occasionally carry them and will rush at you with them while some of their squad covers them from afar.
 * 2 can be bought from Knight Captain Durga in the Citadel.
 * Can sometimes be found at the shop in Little Lamplight.
 * Can sometimes be bought from Flak 'N Shrapnel in Rivet City.
 * Some Brotherhood of Steel members around the Citadel have them. To get one via BoS Paladins and avoid Karma loss, wait for a Super-Mutant to attack, and the BoS member weilding the ripper to rush. Occasionally, another Paladin weiliding a missle-launcher will shoot a rocket at the mutant, killing both, and allowing you to loot the corpse.
