The paddle ball is a weapon in the Fallout 4 add-on Nuka-World.
Characteristics[]
Despite it being a paddle ball, it is considered a gun due to its range. It also has an ammunition capacity of 20, which is replenished by visually flipping the paddle ball in the Sole Survivor's hand. In order to craft the more advanced mods for this weapon, the Project Cobalt schematics need to be picked up first, as the weaponized Nuka ammo cannot be obtained otherwise.

Locations[]
Sold at the Nuka-Cade for 500 Nuka-Cade tickets (items rotate every couple of days).
- Its ammunition, paddle ball strings, may also be purchased for 50 tickets (items rotate every couple of days).
Notes[]
- The player character reacts (e.g. "Nice!") to picking up all paddle ball variants as if they were legendary, but only the weaponized Quantum variant actually has a "★" to mark it as legendary.
- The paddle ball is mentioned in the Strength video of the Fallout 4 S.P.E.C.I.A.L. video series as an "unreasonable" weapon.
