Revision as of 16:50, 24 October 2014
The Nuka Breaker is a unique weapon added with the Fallout: New Vegas add-on Gun Runners' Arsenal.
Characteristics
It is a Nuka-Cola sign, now re-purposed as a devastating melee weapon. It consists of a partially functioning Nuka-Cola neon sign that uses a self-contained power supply, which is mounted on a pole with an electric cord wrapped around the top, and tape at the bottom. It does bonus electrical damage when a Critical Hit occurs.
Special attack
It has a special Nuka-Break attack that does regular damage in V.A.T.S., but at the cost of 7 more action points (requires a Melee skill of 50).
| Legend | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|
 | - Type of attack |  | - Skill required | |
 | - Damage per attack in V.A.T.S. |  | - Action point cost | |
 | - Damage per action point |  | - Additional effects | |
| | | | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Normal | 0 | 100 | 35 | 2.86 |
| Nuka-Break | 50 | 100 | 42 | 2.38 |
- Note: Melee weapons do double normal damage in V.A.T.S.
It is possible to execute Nuka-Break 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 Nuka Breaker can successfully strike about 995 times from full condition before breaking.
Variants
- Rebar club - the weaker and heavier common variant found in the Mojave Wasteland.[1]

Locations
- Mick & Ralph's, sold by Mick.
- Gun Runners, sold by Vendortron if Mick is dead.
Notes
The critical electrical damage may come from the electrical wiring around the pole leading to the semi-functioning neon sign which keeps it self-sufficient. There isn't, however, any sign of why the electricity actually escapes upon a critical hit.
Behind the scenes
The Nuka Breaker was created as a nod to the 2011 fan-made short film and webseries Fallout: Nuka Break. The Fallout: Nuka Break team put the Nuka Breaker in episode 3 after seeing it in a pre-release screenshot of Gun Runners' Arsenal before they knew that Obsidian was referencing their series.[2][3]
- The Nuka Breaker was also featured briefly in the 5th and 6th episode of the second season of Nuka Break.

"In a recent trip to Obsidian, we were luck enough to find out the sign was a nod to us. But we put it in the episode as a nod to them, before we knew that. It's all a big circle of nodding."
