Talk:Cattle prod (Fallout: New Vegas)

Less Lethal
According to the PIPboy description of the prod, it knocks people out by doing fatigue damage. --70.72.172.87 06:17, October 12, 2010 (UTC)

Whenever I use this thing, it just kills people. I've never been able to knock someone out with it. Same goes for the beanbag rounds you can use in the shotguns, they just kill. I have the PS3 version.--94.171.184.82 01:39, October 27, 2010 (UTC)
 * I also have noticed this, and none of the articles that I have looked at have provided a reason or instruction as to how you knock them out. Sometimes I would prefer to knock someone out, but instead, I end up beating their limbs off with a KO weapon. Valnatix 17:55, November 14, 2010 (UTC)
 * The same has been happening for me. I went on a rampage on the strip trying to knock people out with it, only time I managed it was when I set the difficulty to Very Hard and even then the NPCs would be very near death before they got knocked out.
 * I did successfully knock out Nightkin at Black Mountain with Bean Bag rounds with only 1-2 shots. I was under level 10 at the time. Against human NPCs though it seemed useless. --Valadez 20:56, January 6, 2011 (UTC)
 * Yeah, it is kinda dissapointing, it doesn't even make it's targets spasm wildly and jolt with electricity. What a piece of shit. Oh well, there is no non-lethal weapon in this game, all we have are less lethal. I had high hopes for the 12 Gauge Beanbag rounds. --TJbrena 16:39, February 14, 2011 (UTC)

Removed notes
Since x2 crit chance is not what one calls high
 * See Critical chance. Even with the Ninja bug it can achieve an 86% critical hit chance. Mictlantecuhtli 05:02, December 15, 2010 (UTC)

Amount of Fatigue Damage?
How much fatigue damage does the Cattle Prod actually do per strike? Unlike other weapons that clearly list the stat, it is not clearly stated here. 74.77.129.70 19:39, February 5, 2011 (UTC)
 * I've never had it knock anyone unconscious, it kills them. Mictlantecuhtli 12:34, February 7, 2011 (UTC)

Missing location
One can be found near Dr Calis in X-13 research facility (Old world blues) and is not mentionned on the main page. Sorry, I don't want to make a mess with the article and I don't really understand how the add-ons icons and links work in edit mode. It seems the info was removed from Calis article. Is there a reason for this ? the cattle prod is not mentionned in the notable loot in the facility center nor in Calis article, but it is here. A nearby computer mentions a whole shipment but there is only one to be found in the Add-on. Could someone more competent change the informations ?--Croquignol 20:03, August 25, 2011 (UTC)

The locations
There is a false location here. It claims MP's at forlorn hope carry them around there. The section should be deleted for misleading information.-- I dont wanna set the world on fire
