This axe was, er, 'misplaced' by one of my other patrons. She won't be needing it anymore, and it's a weapon of gruesome distinction. Enjoy itPlik

The Dismemberer is a unique axe which is added to Fallout 3 with the Point Lookout add-on.

Characteristics[]

It looks identical to the regular axe, albeit more powerful, and has the ability to gib enemies without the Bloody Mess perk.

Durability[]

The Dismemberer can successfully strike about 480 times from full condition before breaking, roughly 20 hits less than the standard axe.

Location[]

This axe is given as a reward by Plik after completing Plik's Safari.

Notes[]

  • When an enemy is killed by this weapon, there is an 80% chance to sever all of their limbs, as well as restoring 5 Action Points.
  • When used to mutilate corpses, it automatically blows up the limbs into giblets.
  • If one strikes an alien with this in Mothership Zeta, their body will have red blood on it.
  • Oddly, this unique weapon's value (55 caps) is less than its more common counterpart, the regular axe (60 caps).
  • If one strikes an ash or goo pile with this weapon, giblets will spurt out of it.
