“A Ripper™ vibroblade. Powered by a small energy cell, the chainblade rips and tears into its target.”— In-game description

The Ripper vibroblade is a melee weapon found in Fallout.

Characteristics

The Ripper vibroblade has a number of steel teeth that rotate at an extremely fast pace. This allows the Ripper to easily cut through a target's flesh and bone. It has excellent damage statistics and is one of the best melee weapons available. However, to operate the Ripper, small energy cells are required.

Locations

• Given to the Vault Dweller by Mathia or Michael in Lost Hills.
• Can be stolen from the used car salesman in the Bob's Pre-Owned Car Mart special encounter.
• Sold by the Gun Runners.
• Two in the second from the right armory locker section on level 2 of Mariposa Military Base.
• Various people carry one in the Cathedral, including Dane.

Notes

In the Fallout Demo, the weapon is simply called Vibro Blade.
