Spikes are a weapon mod in Fallout 4.
Effects[]
When equipped on any applicable weapon, it appears with the "Spiked" prefix and a unique appearance on the body of the weapon. For the knuckles, this has sharpened metal screws placed between the weapon's knuckles. For the lead pipe, this has rivets embedded in the striking head. For the other weapons, this has various rusty nails either stuck in or puncturing through the body and jutting outward. The weapon deals variably increased damage per shit and ignores 10 points of an enemy's Damage and Energy Resistance to deal additional damage per hit. It serves as the tier mod above the barbs mod.
