The Humble Cudgel

The Humble Cudgel is a unique weapon in Fallout: New Vegas.

Characteristics
The Humble Cudgel is a unique version of the lead pipe. The Humble Cudgel deals an extra 4 damage over its non-unique counterpart, and uses 3 less AP per attack when wielded in V.A.T.S. It also has 50% more item HP than the standard lead pipe.

Special attack
It has a special Lights Out attack that does 125% damage in V.A.T.S. at the cost of 9 more action points (requires a Melee skill of 50).

It is possible to execute Lights Out outside of V.A.T.S. (without the required Melee skill of 50 to perform the move) by initiating a power attack while moving forward.

Durability
The Humble Cudgel can successfully strike about 370 times from full condition before breaking.
