The steel saw is a melee weapon available in the Fallout 3 add-on The Pitt.
Characteristics
The steel saw is a weaker version of the auto axe, dealing roughly half as much damage. It appears to be a modified concrete cutter or concrete saw, with a rotating metal blade. Slaves use the steel saw for cutting through metal objects. However, this does not translate to an in-game damage bonus against robots.
Durability
The steel saw can successfully strike about 625 times from full condition before breaking.
Variants
- Auto axe : A modified and stronger version of the steel saw made out of old car parts
- Man Opener : A stronger variant that ignores armor (power armor included).
- The Mauler : The strongest variant of auto-axe.
