Liberator (weapon)

The Liberator is a Melee skill unique weapon in Fallout: New Vegas.

Background
This cherished weapon was given to Decanus Dead Sea by his Centurion in recognition of his contribution to the victory over the Sun Dogs. Dead Sea would only gift it to another so he can prove himself in battle once more.

Characteristics
The Liberator is a unique machete that sports a higher damage per hit and triple the damage per second.

Like its standard counterpart, the Liberator has a special Back Slash V.A.T.S. attack, which costs less AP to use (15 as opposed to 18) but only inflicts 70% of the weapon's typical damage. It requires the player's Melee Weapons skill to be at least 50 or higher, just like a regular machete.

Even though it is a unique weapon, it shares the same appearance as any other machete.

Variants

 * Machete, the common variant
 * Machete gladius, a quasi-unique variant of the machete that is significantly more damaging.
 * Broad machete Fnv-tribalpackblog1 (1).jpg, a lighter and more damaging unqiue variant of the machete.

Location
If siding with the Legion, the weapon is given to you by Dead Sea at Camp Nelson after completing the quest We Are Legion.

If you are working for the NCR, you will be sent to take Nelson back in the quest, Restoring Hope. During the siege, you will be tasked to kill Dead Sea in one of the town's barracks. Upon death, the Liberator can be looted from Dead Sea.
