Lead pipe

The lead pipe is a melee weapon in Fallout 3 and Fallout: New Vegas and Van Buren

Although not a highly damaging weapon, it's a good choice for low-levels, because of its moderate damage and quick rapid attacks.

Lead pipe


The lead pipe is a widely available, inexpensive, starting melee weapon. One of the ends has tape wrapped around it to improve grip, while the other is heavily corroded and/or bloodstained, and topped with a pipe fitting.

The Humble Cudgel


The Humble Cudgel is a unique version of the lead pipe. It is less corroded and has a t-shaped fitting on the end similar to a mallet. It should also be noted that its striking end is slightly bent. It has 50% more Condition than a standard lead pipe.
