That blade has split the heads of... The only reason I give it to you is to force myself to earn another. True to Caesar.
”— Dead SeaThe Liberator is a Melee skill unique weapon in Fallout: New Vegas.
Background[]
This cherished weapon was given to Decanus Dead Sea by his Centurion in recognition of his contribution to the victory over the Sun Dogs.[1][2] Dead Sea would only gift it to another so he can prove himself in battle once more.[3]
Characteristics[]
The Liberator is a unique machete that sports a higher damage per hit and triple the damage per second.
Like its standard counterpart, the Liberator has a special Back Slash V.A.T.S. attack, which costs less AP to use (15 as opposed to 18) but only inflicts 70% of the weapon's typical damage. It requires the player's Melee Weapons skill to be at least 50 or higher, just like a regular machete.
Even though it is a unique weapon, it shares the same appearance as any other machete.
Variants[]
- Machete, the common variant
- Machete gladius, a quasi-unique variant of the machete that is significantly more damaging.
- Broad machete
, a lighter and more damaging unqiue variant of the machete.
