The rebar club is a weapon in Fallout: New Vegas.
Characteristics[]
A two-handed blunt melee weapon consisting of a piece of concrete with three pieces of rebar sticking out of it, wound together with a strip of brown leather or cloth to make a handle. It has the second-slowest attack speed of all blunt melee weapons (only above the X-2 antenna 
) as well as the lowest non-zero critical chance multiplier and the highest AP cost.
Special attack[]
The rebar club has a special Mauler attack that does regular damage in V.A.T.S. at the cost of 8 more action points, but has a chance to knock down enemies (requires a Melee Weapons skill of 50).

- Note: Melee weapons do double normal damage in V.A.T.S.
It is possible to execute Mauler outside of V.A.T.S. (without the required Melee Weapons skill of 50 to perform the move) by initiating a power attack (hold attack button) while moving forward.
Durability[]
The rebar club can successfully strike about 1245 times from full condition before breaking.
Variants[]
- Nuka-Breaker (GRA)

Locations[]
- Used by most nightkin, both named like Neil and Davison and unnamed, in the Mojave Wasteland, e.g. at the REPCONN test site, Black Mountain, etc.
- Fiends sometimes use them.
- Blake at the Crimson Caravan Company may also have it for sale.
- Dog carries one in the Cantina Madrid during Put the Beast Down.
- White Legs tribals and White Legs storm-drummers in Zion Canyon may carry them at higher levels.
Notes[]
- The weapon's very low critical chance makes it a necessity to take Heavy Handed as an active trait to make it effective.
- The Blade of the West can be repaired with the rebar club, even if the player does not have Jury Rigging.
