Machete (Fallout: New Vegas)

The Machete is a weapon in Fallout: New Vegas. It appears as a long, sharpened piece of scrap metal taped to a wooden handle.

Characteristics
This big, long, sharp blade is good for cleaving limbs off of the native Joshua trees or from an unlucky mutant. This weapon has a Strength requirement of 3. It deals bonus limb damage to enemies. Caesar's Legion is known for using this weapon as one of their soldier's primary weapons.

If you hold down the attack button to charge a power move, you spin it around and swing up while holding it upside down. This can also be achieved by having a high melee level and going into VATS, where it presents an option of a special move, chosen by the Y button on the Xbox, "Triangle" button on the PS3, and R on the PC.
