The nail board is a weapon in Fallout: New Vegas.

Characteristics[]

A two-handed blunt melee weapon. It deals a moderate amount of damage per strike while having the third-lowest attack speed of all blunt melee weapons. It also has the second-lowest durability of all blunt melee weapons along with the 9 iron.

Visually, the weapon is identical to its counterpart in Fallout 3, being a 2x4 with long, rusty nails embedded at the end of the wooden body and a whittled shaft to ensure a better grip.

Special attack[]

The nail board has a special Grand Slam attack that does 200% damage in V.A.T.S. at the cost of 11 more action points and requires a Melee skill of 50.
