Ant's Sting

The Ant's Sting is a unique Knife found in Fallout 3, used by the Antagonizer.

Characteristics
Ant's Sting poisons those injured by it, dealing an additional 4 damage every second for 10 seconds. Because poison damage stacks, rapidly hitting an opponent outside of V.A.T.S. can raise Ant's Sting's DPS to very high levels. After attacking 12 times within 4 seconds, its actual DPS rises to 90, outclassing the Shishkebab (without Pyromaniac). However, most enemies will already be defeated before Ant's Sting can pass this turning point. This amazing effect will make this one of the most powerful melee weapons in the game.

Variants

 * Knife, the common variant.
 * Slasher knife, an incredibly powerful knife only available in Tranquility Lane.
 * Ritual knife, a knife more powerful than the Ant's Sting that uses less AP.
 * Toy knife, a knife with the lowest amount of AP for any weapon in Fallout 3. However, it does very little damage, much less than the regular knife.

Location
The Ant's Sting is received when completing the quest The Superhuman Gambit while siding with the AntAgonizer and giving her the Mechanist's costume.
