Ripper (Fallout 76)

The Ripper is a weapon in Fallout 76.

Background
A short-bladed, handheld chainsaw-like device, this model of ripper was used by the US military before the Great War both as a weapon and as a general-purpose cutting tool, however, they are relatively rare finds.

Characteristics
From the bottom to the top this weapon has a fuel tank that doubles as a handhold, a small motor-like device just up from the handhold, the chain, and a small guard for the top of the chain.

Locations
One can be randomly found in the back of a truck at Sylvie & Sons logging camp.

Behind the scenes
The reason that the Ripper (along with the chainsaw and drill) do not have max level variants is due to a technical bug behind the scenes causing damage to calculate incorrectly. Until this gets addressed, the developers have stated that there are no plans to add leveled versions of these items.
