Cleaver (Fallout: New Vegas)

The cleaver is a weapon in Fallout: New Vegas.

Characteristics
The cleaver was designed to chop hunks of meat for use in your local butcher's shop, but has since been used to chop off the limbs of any thing that gets in your way. This weapon has a Strength requirement of 2. It also does bonus damage to limbs.

Special attack
It has a special Back Slash attack, which does 70% damage in V.A.T.S. at the cost of 5 fewer action points (requires a Melee skill of 50).

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

Durability
The cleaver can successfully strike about 1,245 times from full condition before breaking.

Variants

 * Chopper, a unique version found at Wolfhorn ranch that does bonus limb damage.

Locations

 * Powder gangers will carry these.
 * Various convicts and escaped convicts use these.
 * White Glove Society Gourmand Chef Philippe will use one.
