The Break

The Break is a unique pool cue found in Fallout 3.

Characteristics
It has the extended reach of a sledgehammer, but does less damage. Although not a highly damaging weapon, it has a rapid attack, so many blows can be landed quickly. The Break is probably best used against opponents who aren't armed with melee weapons themselves, as they will often block, stunning you for a few precious seconds. For this reason it's best to use V.A.T.S. attacks on other melee opponents.

Variants

 * Pool cue, the common variant.

Location

 * The Break is found on a pool table in the center of Paradise Falls next to the roasting brahmin near the entrance to Eulogy's Pad

Behind the scenes

 * The "break" is a billiards term, referring to the first shot of a game, in which the starting player "breaks" the triangular cluster in which the balls are set up.
