The cleaver is a weapon in Fallout: New Vegas.

Characteristics[]

The cleaver was designed to chop hunks of meat for use in your local butcher's shop, but has since been used to chop off the limbs of any thing that gets in your way. This weapon has low Strength and no skill requirements, making it a very capable early level melee weapon. It does bonus damage to limbs.

It has a special 'Back Slash' attack, which does 70% damage in V.A.T.S. at the cost of 17 action points (requires a Melee skill of 50).

Variants[]

  • Chopper, a unique version that does bonus limb damage and is twice as powerful as a normal cleaver.
