Tire Iron (Fallout: New Vegas)

The tire iron is a weapon in Fallout: New Vegas.

Characteristics
A rusty old tire iron, normally used for loosening nuts from car tires. The tire iron has a high damage for a low-level weapon and can be extremely valuable to an inexperienced Courier.

Special attack
It has a special Lights Out attack that does 125% damage in V.A.T.S. at the cost of 8 more action points (requires a Melee skill of 50). Note that in Fallout: New Vegas melee weapons do double normal weapon damage when used in V.A.T.S.

It is possible to execute Lights Out 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 tire iron can successfully strike about 995 times from full condition before breaking.

Locations
It can be found in most locations where low-level humanoid enemies are located, most notably Primm and Freeside, carried by some of the convicts or thugs.
