The cattleprod is a melee weapon in Fallout 76, introduced in the Wastelanders update.
Gameplay
Normally used for herding stubborn livestock, the cattleprod can also be used as a makeshift weapon. It has been outfitted with a thick, electrified metal coil hooked up to a pair of batteries taped down near the handle.
The cattleprod is similar in range, speed, and weight to an electrified baton but deals an increased amount of damage. When crafted, cattleprods use Legendary Modules, becoming legendary weapons with randomly determined effects.
As with other weapons only available after the main questline of Wastelanders, cattleprods cannot be traded, dropped, or sold to vendors.
