“A simple wooden pole sharpened at one end.”— In-game description

The sharpened pole is a melee weapon in Fallout 2.

Characteristics

A sharpened shaft of wood, it is just a weaker version of the regular spear with which one starts the game. Due to their weakness but a large obtainable number (compared to spears), they are somewhat useful as thrown weapons at the earliest stages of the game.

Locations

• Up to about 11 can be acquired in the Temple of Trials where they shoot out from the walls when the traps in the second room are triggered.
• There is a single sharpened pole in a dresser at the Golden Globes studio in New Reno.
