The Protonic Inversal Throwing Axe is a weapon in the Fallout: New Vegas add-on Old World Blues.
Gameplay
Like its larger counterpart, the Protonic Inversal Throwing Axe is a much more rare version of the standard Proton Throwing Axe, being shortened and balanced for ranged combat. It does 20 more points of base damage than the normal Proton Throwing Axe at the expense of being much rarer. It is also far superior to any other thrown (non-explosive) weapon in terms of base damage.
Variants
- Proton Throwing Axe - the standard variant.
- Proton Axe - the standard, melee variant
- Protonic Inversal Axe - a semi unique, stronger melee variant.

- Ten are found on Number 34 at Little Yangtze.
Notes
- Protonic Inversal Throwing Axes are classified as "unique," because only a limited number of them exist within the game.
- It is very possible to only find less than 10 in the whole game, while at most finding around 20-25, as there is only one guaranteed location to find them and that will only get you 5, while every other location they are found is entirely random, their limited availability is quite similar to the Mini Nuke, only much more random.
- Like the regular Proton Throwing Axe, the Protonic Inversal Throwing Axe explodes (only cosmetic) when it comes into contact with a target, providing a logical reason it can't be retrieved.
- All cyberdogs are affected by the additional EMP damage done by this weapon.
Bugs
Moving several axes from your inventory to a container may cause the game to freeze, OR if you already have some in a container and hover over them.
