Nuka Breaker (GRA)

The Nuka Breaker is a unique weapon added with the Fallout: New Vegas add-on Gun Runners' Arsenal.

Gameplay attributes
It is one of the most damaging melee weapons in the game, but this is offset by the fact that it requires a Strength of 9 to be fully effective. It does bonus electrical damage when a critical hit occurs, which is all the more possible with its critical multiplier of 2.

Its special V.A.T.S. attack is called "Nuka-Break", at the cost of 42 action points (requires a Melee skill of 50).

Variants

 * Rebar club, the weaker and heavier common variant.

Locations

 * Mick & Ralph's, sold by Mick.
 * Gun Runners, sold by Vendortron if Mick is dead.

Behind the scenes
The Nuka Breaker was created as a nod to the 2011 fan-made short film and webseries Fallout: Nuka Break. The Fallout: Nuka Break team put the Nuka Breaker in Season 1, episode 3 after seeing it in a pre-release screenshot of Gun Runners' Arsenal before they knew that Obsidian was referencing their series. The Nuka Breaker was also featured briefly in the 5th and 6th episode of the second season of Nuka Break.
