Characteristics Edit

A weapon meant to keep order, used by long-gone police. Now used by peacekeepers and trouble-makers alike.

Special attack Edit

It has a special Lights Out attack that does 125% damage in V.A.T.S. at the cost of 6 more action points (requires a Melee skill of 50).

Legend - Type of attack - Skill required - Damage per attack in V.A.T.S. - Action point cost - Damage per action point - Additional effects

Normal 0 20 23 0.87 Lights Out 50 25 29 0.86

Note: Melee weapons do double normal damage in V.A.T.S.

It is possible to execute Lights Out outside of V.A.T.S. (without the required Melee skill of 50 to perform the move) by initiating a power attack (hold attack button) while moving forward.

Durability Edit

The police baton can successfully strike about 1245 times from full condition before breaking.
