Ripper (Fallout 3)

The Ripper is a melee weapon found in Fallout 3.

Characteristics
Uncommon compared to other melee weapons in the Capital Wasteland, the Ripper is unique in that the player character can hold down the attack button and an enemy at melee range will continuously receive damage. In V.A.T.S., it can cause an instant kill.

In the add-on The Pitt, a weapon with identical functionality called an auto axe is added, which can be repaired with the Ripper.

Durability
The Ripper can successfully strike approximately 400 times from full condition before breaking.

Variants

Bugs
Sometimes when using the Ripper and then dropping it, the audio for the Ripper will continue to play. This bug usually fixes itself after a couple of minutes; however, if it does not stop, loading another save file will fix it.
