Shishkebab (Fallout 3)

Shishkebab is a "flaming sword" that can be made from a Motorcycle Gas Tank, a Motorcycle Handbrake, a Lawnmower Blade, and a Pilot Light (found in most ovens). It can be constructed with the use of the proper schematic.

Schematics have multiple copies located throughout the Capitol Wastelands allowing you to make better versions of the self-created weapons. Each copy you find past the first one allows you to make a better version (ie; Rock-It Launcher V2). So its a good idea to hunt down subsequent copies if you plan on using them often. Also higher repair will allow you to initally make stronger weapons. As you make multiple weapons you can combine them later on with the repair skill for even more damage. Alternatively you can have an NPC repair them.

The Shishkebab instantly sets enemies on fire upon contact, dealing 2 damage a second for 5 seconds in addition to doing Melee damage. Its schematics can be obtained from Vance at the end of the Blood Ties questline, or purchased from the trader Lucky Harith. Owning both of these schematics will allow you to create an upgraded version of the Shishkebab called Shishkebab V2 which requires the same materials.

As with all fire and energy weapons, it can set off gas leaks. However, with the Shishkebab this can be caused by simply having it equipped and drawn.

The Shishkebab looks a lot like a crude version of Nero's Red Queen sword from Devil May Cry 4, down to being a flaming sword with a motorcycle handbrake.
