Greased Lightning (GRA)

Greased Lightning is a unique melee weapon added with the Fallout: New Vegas add-on Gun Runners' Arsenal.

Background
Greased Lightning is a power fist variant with an extra hydraulic shock. It is powered by a nuclear battery using the emissions from a radioactive isotope to generate electricity that greatly enhances the speed of its execution mechanism. It has nickel black, metal plating with a radiation symbol painted on the top, a warning "Radiation risk" on the right side, and each of its three tubes are a cream color. It also sports 33 tally marks on the side.

Characteristics
Greased Lightning has a lower damage than most high level Unarmed weapons in the game, but its extremely high attack speed gives it a higher DPS than most. Greased Lightning is also an improved holdout weapon, meaning it can be concealed if the players Sneak skill is 50 or greater.
