For an overview of nail board models in various Fallout games, see nail board. |
The nail board is a weapon in Fallout: New Vegas.
Characteristics
This 2x4 has several nails driven through it, with a whittled shaft to ensure a better grip. It looks identical to the version in Fallout 3, and is still used by super mutants.
Special attack
It has a special Grand Slam attack that does 200% damage in V.A.T.S. at the cost of 11 more action points (requires a Melee skill of 50).

- Note: Melee weapons do double normal damage in V.A.T.S.
It is possible to execute Grand Slam outside of V.A.T.S. (without the required Melee skill of 50 to perform the move) by initiating a power attack (hold attack button) while moving forward.
Durability
The nail board can successfully strike about 295 times from full condition before breaking.
