“This axe was, er, 'misplaced' by one of my other patrons. She won't be needing it anymore, and it's a weapon of gruesome distinction. Enjoy it”— Plik

Notes[]
- When an enemy is killed by this weapon, there is an 80% chance to sever all of their limbs, as well as restoring 5 Action Points.
- When used to mutilate corpses, it automatically blows up the limbs into giblets.
- If one strikes an alien with this in Mothership Zeta, their body will have red blood on it.
- Oddly, this unique weapon's value (55 caps) is less than its more common counterpart, the regular axe (60 caps).
- If one strikes an ash or goo pile with this weapon, giblets will spurt out of it.
Bugs[]
If the player character decides to kill Plik upon entry of the coastal grotto, the Dismemberer may appear on his corpse without completing the quest. [verified]- If one kills an unnamed non-player character with neutral or good Karma in one strike, and all their limbs sever and is witnessed, other non-player characters will not turn hostile towards the player character. [verified]
- Upon activating the quest and killing Plik, the Dismemberer will appear on his body, but only if he is dismembered into giblets upon death—particularly through means of a powerful sneak attack critical with the Bloody Mess perk. [verified]
- On rare occasions, the pieces of the body may remain suspended in the air while the body falls to the ground. [verified]
