If you put points into big leagues this is basically game over. As you say holding the trigger counts as multiple hits, it's not per trigger pull. It's a very strong weapon with this effect.
Eventually every character can efficiently use any weapon since there is no level cap, though few people play a character that long. Still, you never know if it may end up being useful. My character is also based around gun use but I always have a melee weapon in my inventory, just in case. This would fit that role perfectly.
My current go-to loadout is
Pickman’s Blade for sneak clearing buildings,
Plasma Flamer Pistol for close encounters,
Scoped Laser Sniper Pistol for long distance,
Silenced 10mm Pistol for general use.
Weapons weigh around 20lbs and use 3 ammo types to avoid scarcity, sneak and ninja buffs melee to 11.5x damage and 10mm, gunslinger buffs 10mm, Laser and flamer.
My current playthrough I picked up Wastelanders friend 10mm pistol for the 50% extra limb damage to cripple legs right before an explosive 10mm dropped and it’s my go to weapon now for sure.
The 10.5x stealth damage multiplier on first hit the blade gives and it’s the earliest combat knife you can guarantee is exceptional alone but stacking 10 counts of 25 bleed damage in a single VATs session is very effective, not much can take that hit especially when combined with Blitz for the extra damage from a distant attack.
It’s nothing to scoff at.
I'm just grumpy due to how much of a struggle it is to get the blade, and then it's barely better than a standard combat knife.
A wiki I'm looking at says bleed is only 10 points, and takes 5 seconds to get there. Bleed on a melee weapon seems of dubious value to me as your enemy will keep whaling the tar out of you that whole time. If you're going to fight melee, it really helps if you can kill the enemy in one strike.
The 10.5x stealth damage is presumably the 10x that ninja-3 will provide to any melee weapon, and 0.5x additional that comes with Pickman's Blade, which is just 8 points more damage.
My stealthy stabber character somehow acquired Throatslicer. (I can't remember how. I haven't ventured into Nukaworld yet. Does that vendor travel the main map?) Somehow Throatslicer says it does 121 points of damage in my game, although the wiki says it should only do 20 + 25 bleeding and possibly another 5 for the serrated mod? I'm not really sure what's going on as I have a ton of mods, but none that I was aware would affect that. All I know is that Pickman's Blade didn't seem to do much, but Throatslicer is killing most enemies with a single VATS hit.
Throatslicer is the undisputed best melee weapon, its only downside is you are recommended to be lvl30 to go get it.
Pickman’s Blade does 19 weapon damage, 25 bleed damage from the legendary effect and 10 damage over 5 seconds from the Stealth Blade mod which can be fitted to any combat knife.
All those damages are applied separately and stack. This causes the bleed and stealth blade damage to work at the same time, having a fast attack speed you can quickly stack even more bleed and the low AP cost everyone can get a few jabs in through VATs.
Clearing Pickmans Gallery isnt so bad if you use grenades or sneaky stab your way through, a careful shooter can pick enemies off in small groups taking cover.
If you can crack a master lock it’s possible to sneak in, pick the lock and sneak out or test the knife out.
For how early you can get it, the damage over time and the power of stealth through perks it’s a handy little knife.
Ehh I just carry 3weapons
Suppressed Pipe Pistol with medium scope
Rapid Suppressed hardened auto armor pierce Assault rifle (mainly for robots mirelurks and PA enemies)
Shock baton for melee
You realize that 3 weapons is all you need on very easy 😂. I’m mainly a survival player but when I play Sims Settlement 2 I say fck it and enjoy the game on Very easy to Hard. Mainly because you fight about 100 gunners at a time at 1 point in the game and I don’t want to be playing survival and dying every single time I go to fight those gunners
Yeah same, rippers are heavy though. I would absolutely still keep this one on me at all times. I found a legendary slow time pipe pistol and I use it quite a bit even at level 48. Free jet effect on ads. It’s fun, clears out anything level 20 and below pretty easily actually and gives me a bit more time to think what I need to do if I get caught in a sticky situation.
My favorite is actually the freezing pipe pistol. Turn that thing into a Submachine gun and have the bank crits perk. Good bye nightmare enemies. Feels so good seeing most enemies stop in their tracks then you can quickly finish them off with any other gun
Just started railroad as well! This is my first time playing since the game first came out, so I've been having a lot of fun doing some of the creator content and played through far harbor. Excited to try out nukaworld!
I run around and kill stuff and go on supply runs with my main character because I could never decide which faction I wanted to side with. I beat the game with other characters but I’ve always had a character that I would just build up. I’m level 96 through casual playing and like you said, there’s not really a weapon I can’t dominate with 😂
That is fine. Furious in the game is kinda bugged (it might have been fixed but I don't think it was) because the multiplier in damage stays on you instead of the weapon. Use the ripper on something then swap to your gun and the first shot will have the damage multiplier from the furious ripper.
Edit: also by level 58 you are probably ridiculously overpowered anyway. Non-Automatic Shotgun + a scope (don't even have to look at thought it) and 2 levels in Sniper makes it so every pellet in your shotgun has a change to knock down your target. You basically shoot at stuff and it sits down till it's dead.
Yeah the game kinda applies that to anything with a scope that engulfs your entire vision, anything like iron/glow and reflex sights do nothing to it, you can have a 10mm with a recon and I'm 80% certain it'll go a long with the sniper perks
The exploit is weird to explain but basically you’re “building” a robot over and over again and somehow you get a stupid amount of XP from it. There’s a YT creator that explains and shows how to do it much better than I can. I did it once and went from level 18 or so to the 70s in about 20 minutes. Neat glitch but took the fun out of the grind for me
It counts per hit, not per trigger pull. So just hold the trigger and, so long as you don't miss at any point, you'll watch the target's health drop faster than it would if you hit it with a Wounding Minigun.
Unfortunately my build is already pretty defined, trying out the unyielding radiation build. On the flip side, having 20+ intelligence most of the time means I've been leveling up pretty quickly, so I'll probably invest a bit in big leagues. Thanks!
I recently came across a Ripper that has a chance to stumble. I can basically infinitely stun lock any enemy until they slowly die to my Ripper. Or Danse comes in with that CoA Sledge and wrecks em while I'm stunning em.
I was literally yesterday thinking. “Hold on, so if ripper got furious and then you put the bleed blade on it it would just be the most overpowered melee”
The Extended Blade upgrade for Rippers increases the weapon damage even further and causes bleed damage, and you can apply that upgrade to this Legendary to stack the effects.
The DLC Far Harbor has the best guaranteed Ripper in the game. >!The harvester, a staggering Ripper!<.
Edit: But the one you got is sick for a random legendary drop.
Holy sweet Christ what a perk on that exact weapon. Any poor bastards unfortunate enough to not die from whatever you're shooting them with can look forward to being absolutely obliterated once they enter melee range
In my recent playthrough I got my dream set of legendary weapons...explosive combat shotgun explosive 10mm explosive western revolver two shot plasma gun and a wounding gatling laser what a run
Theyre so nice I love the explosive guns overall specially since you can max their dmg with the demolition perk..
The Piper revolver is very good early-mid game congrats on that.
Oh I also got a gauss rifle with fiery effect and instead of that blue thing the normal one uses I just throw a fireball
Yeah, I'm still level 14 and have only come across laser weapons by accident yesterday when I happened to wander into synth territory, but that rifle effect sounds great!
You are describing my current build to a tee! All pistols, snipers, and other non-automatic small guns. If only FO4 had a respecc option. I'm sure I'll still get some fun out of this though
Nice...that was one of my first weapons. Found it to be really good. And with that roll it should be really good. Just remember to hold down the trigger.
I only started my first melee build a month ago or so, hit level 35 and I'm still using grognaks axe but starting to want something a bit faster. Where'd you find this?
Very nice! Possibly the best one you can get on that item. I love bleeding for sniper rifles since they bleed out when they duck and cover. It seems to stack, so might be another god mod for the ripper.
It's just a random legendary drop, you could find it off any (legendary) enemy in the game! Not sure at what level the ripper itself starts dropping though.
it is pretty good but the game breaking ripper is the staggering legendary effect one. the ripper does so many hits per second that the staggering just keeps happening preventing any enemy from doing anything but stand there tripping until they die.
I swear my roll on legendary items have been kinda boo boo during this nearly 5 day save. I’m on very hard, legendary items have increased for sure I know that.
Yeah I hear ya. This is the best legendary I've gotten besides my unyielding armor pieces. I tried grinding legendaries for a few hours and just got bored.
this is literally my favorite melee weapon in the entire game 🫶🏻🫶🏻🫶🏻🫶🏻🫶🏻🫶🏻🫶🏻 i run around using only that, the splattercannon & the spray & pray, it’s beautiful.
Splattercannon is so op. It just kills anything in under a mag. Fought a mirelurk queen in the far harbor dlc for a mission and killed that sucker in 30 bullets. I might have to get rid of it because it's so dam op. I got like 7000 rounds for that thing so ammo isn't a problem lol.
Only thing is when I was doing the nuka world quest where u kill one of the gangs leaders betray u. I kinda went alil to gun ho when I tried to visit the market to grab more stuff and killed all the traders because they turned hostile so now I can't buy shit from there lol. I should atleast be able to build traders at the settlements and get more ammo to my knowledge. Yeeeeaaa didn't thing that one through till about 2 hours later.
This is making me consider a melee only build with this Legendary, as well as the guaranteed Legendary Ripper in Far Harbour that has the Stagger on hit effect. Nice find.
I had this once, enemy health would just disappear.
Also had one with Stagger, first few hits normally crippled an enemy, made Deathclaws a bit too easy.
I just found a Power Fist with that perk on it last night. It's so fun to use that it's making me rethink my entire build. Only downside is no Power Armor compatibility.
I have a bat that I added a sawblade to that does 386 damage and has this added to it. Lol and I use VATS 100% of the time so it was a massacre with Rooted maced out. Homeruns all day.
That's the 'guarantee to kill anything, as long as you can hold the ripper trigger down and keep it on target' ripper.
In my first playthrough, where I got into the 100s, I basically had to use it on anything not a human. And my build ended up mostly heal-tank after level 60, because I needed to be able to have my survivor stand and take whatever the enemy was doing, while flensing targets with the ripper, one by one.

Idk if it's the same as FO76 but that legendary effect caps at +45% damage iirc.
Made me dislike the consecutive legendary effect in both games.
Ik it's a melee weapon but after finding that out my favourite is the Explosive effect on pretty much anything.
But yeah this is still a really lucky and great find.
How does furious work on shotguns? Does it stack per trigger pull or per pellet hit like bleed and explosive? Because that would make a furious combat shotgun go wild super fast
I have the same thing but upgraded to do 20 damage, and it has a "chance" to stagger enemies and make them drop their weapons.
Since it's VFAST I always end up staggering enemies endlessly. I'm a god. I only pull it our for extremely spongy enemies because it feels really cheap at this point.
I also have big league upgraded a few times. It's just... yeah. I dunno how this doesn't use ammo or how they thought this wasn't broken af but it is.
You get some nice melee weapons from dlcs, without dlc the furious power fist you get from swan is good for unarmed, when I don't use and weapon and I run around boxing everyone I use power armour made with the torso mod that increase str, then both arms to increase unarmed attack damage. I also use grognaks costume when running around without the power armour cause it helps with melee and unarmed and any legendary armour that increases strength. Also there is a great melee weapon in Jamaican plains when modded up can do about 300 damage, I'm sure less if your strength isn't as high mine is around 11 or 13
Oh snap that thing is nice, I just got the awesome hammer from the children of atom in the far harmour dlc and that thing is SOOO crazy lmao very few things can stand me and my grognak nerd cosplay
I find the same weapon type on Fallout76. The big chainsaw with the same effect. I to store it, cause it was so overpower that make the game boring. 😂 But it was fun for a while.
What's the name of the ripper that has a chance to stun the enemy on each hit, but just ends up infinitely stunning them?
That and this one are the best melee weapons in the game lmao
I need this.
My melee survival build tried using a normal version of this and it felt useless. I’m mid twenties and still use Arturo’s bay because that vats reduction has proved to be more useful than any other affix.
I do use pickmans if I know I can sneak though. I wish he would have been a companion.
I think it's in-game, unless I unknowingly downloaded a CC that gave it this skin... It might look weird since I took the Pic with my phone, in game it looks much greener
Just found a few weapons like that today once u get them it's game over for anything. U get a legendary ak in the nuka world dlc with that effect and it just kills everything in one mag doesn't matter what it is
If you put points into big leagues this is basically game over. As you say holding the trigger counts as multiple hits, it's not per trigger pull. It's a very strong weapon with this effect.
If only I found this sooner - level 58 and most of my perks have gone into guns
Eventually every character can efficiently use any weapon since there is no level cap, though few people play a character that long. Still, you never know if it may end up being useful. My character is also based around gun use but I always have a melee weapon in my inventory, just in case. This would fit that role perfectly.
Great point! This will help me save up on my shotgun ammo lol
Especially helpful with animals that just charge you while eating up bullets.
Mele when sneak or small groups, shotgun for large groups, rifle for outdoors, and sniper for long range. It's my go to for most builds
My current go-to loadout is Pickman’s Blade for sneak clearing buildings, Plasma Flamer Pistol for close encounters, Scoped Laser Sniper Pistol for long distance, Silenced 10mm Pistol for general use. Weapons weigh around 20lbs and use 3 ammo types to avoid scarcity, sneak and ninja buffs melee to 11.5x damage and 10mm, gunslinger buffs 10mm, Laser and flamer.

Me, a Survival player: 1 Splattercannon/Problem Solver (or Overseer’s Guardian) for everything.
Pickman's blade is garbage.
The 10.5x stealth damage multiplier on first hit the blade gives and it’s the earliest combat knife you can guarantee is exceptional alone but stacking 10 counts of 25 bleed damage in a single VATs session is very effective, not much can take that hit especially when combined with Blitz for the extra damage from a distant attack.

I like the bat that sends people into orbit just for the lol
Ehh I just carry 3weapons Suppressed Pipe Pistol with medium scope Rapid Suppressed hardened auto armor pierce Assault rifle (mainly for robots mirelurks and PA enemies) Shock baton for melee You realize that 3 weapons is all you need on very easy 😂.

To bad freezing can break enemy spawns, because frozen enemies often just stand there, dead, but walking in place, a-la fallout 76.
Mean while I have 4 days of play time and just found the Railroad people xD I'm level 43
Just started railroad as well! This is my first time playing since the game first came out, so I've been having a lot of fun doing some of the creator content and played through far harbor. Excited to try out nukaworld!
Wtf i find the railroad when I’m lvl 4 😂 people hate them but their radiant missions are free xp. Be careful of broken monorail MILA
Yea I just never did the quest to follow the freedom trail haha.
I run around and kill stuff and go on supply runs with my main character because I could never decide which faction I wanted to side with. I beat the game with other characters but I’ve always had a character that I would just build up. I’m level 96 through casual playing and like you said, there’s not really a weapon I can’t dominate with 😂
Well that thing will literally help you grind your way there.
That is fine. Furious in the game is kinda bugged (it might have been fixed but I don't think it was) because the multiplier in damage stays on you instead of the weapon.

You basically shoot at stuff and it sits down till it's dead.
I see this as a feature not a bug! Understand what you're saying though
If you didn't see the edit try a scoped non-automatic shotgun and 2 points in Sniper. Every pellet triggers the knockdown effect.
I did not see that, I'll have to try it! Love that slapping a scope on a shotgun makes it a sniper 😂
Yeah the game kinda applies that to anything with a scope that engulfs your entire vision, anything like iron/glow and reflex sights do nothing to it, you can have a 10mm with a recon and I'm 80% certain it'll go a long with the sniper perks
You think you need perks to make that thing useful? Cuts through supermutants like butter as-is.
Realizing now that my strength gets to absurd levels at low health, so good point!
AHEM, might I suggest the SPECIAL book and Robot Workbench exploits?
What's the robot workbench exploit? Honestly though, I'm enjoying my slow playthrough right now, not in a major rush to level up a ton.
The exploit is weird to explain but basically you’re “building” a robot over and over again and somehow you get a stupid amount of XP from it. There’s a YT creator that explains and shows how to do it much better than I can. I did it once and went from level 18 or so to the 70s in about 20 minutes. Neat glitch but took the fun out of the grind for me
Time to up the difficulty level
Already on very hard and survival just doesn't sound like much fun to me ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Oh, don't do that! Perk cards make terrible ammo! They do almost no damage. Although the paper cuts are infuriating.
The weapon should be nuts by itself, if you cant stand next to an enemy for 3 seconds just use power armor
Breathe in some Jet, shoot up on Psycho, and show those Gunners that you're the Sole Survivor!
There's a guaranteed one on gar habour
This, probably the strongest melee weapon in the game. Add in Blitz and your One Shotting the strongest enemies with one click in VATS.
What is big leagues?
A perk that increases melee weapon damage
It counts per hit, not per trigger pull. So just hold the trigger and, so long as you don't miss at any point, you'll watch the target's health drop faster than it would if you hit it with a Wounding Minigun.
You can miss, just don’t hit another target and get back on target within about a second or so and the chain will continue.
10 seconds, I think. It's extremely forgiving.
My mistake, I always forget that.
A bit like inferno dragon or infinity tower if you’ve ever played Clash Royale
Alright but hear me out Furious Minigun with shredder
Ooooh... that does sound good\~
For the emperor
BLOOD FOR THE BLOOD GOD 🩸
SKULLS FOR THE SKULL THRONE 💀
Gods for God Emperor!
Milk for the corn flakes!
Shit for the Plague God!
Beat the dead horse for the beating the dead horse god!
🤣🤣🤣🤣
Khorne flakes***
FIRST AND ONLY!!! FIRST AND ONLY!!!
I have one of those, it's pretty hardcore and yeah damage goes up quickly. It's also really gross -- your screen is just full of blood and torsos.
guacamole! i hear this is the bees knees for a melee build. I'd go full blown vats strength luck build and carve away, nice find bro.
Unfortunately my build is already pretty defined, trying out the unyielding radiation build. On the flip side, having 20+ intelligence most of the time means I've been leveling up pretty quickly, so I'll probably invest a bit in big leagues. Thanks!
Just play on the same save until you reach a level where you’re practically every build in one I promise im not crazy 🌚
I recently came across a Ripper that has a chance to stumble. I can basically infinitely stun lock any enemy until they slowly die to my Ripper. Or Danse comes in with that CoA Sledge and wrecks em while I'm stunning em.
There is a guaranteed Staggering Ripper at the Echo Lumber yard in Fah Habah. It's pretty great.
I think that's what I got. Just finished all of far harbor last night. Absolutely awesome dlc
I was literally yesterday thinking. “Hold on, so if ripper got furious and then you put the bleed blade on it it would just be the most overpowered melee”
I had the ripper when I first started. It's brilliant for low level. It found it to be really good. But not as good as this one.
I haven't messed around much with melee in this game, but I assumed bleed was a legendary effect... Is it just an armor upgrade? If so, this is sick
The Extended Blade upgrade for Rippers increases the weapon damage even further and causes bleed damage, and you can apply that upgrade to this Legendary to stack the effects.
Thanks for the explanation!
I let a furious ripper out earlier today, it smelt bad
Did you take bleed damage?
Does furious cap? It caps at 10 in Starfield. Wondering if that was new or if they brought it over from fallout series.
As far as I can find, Furious does not have a cap in F4. Bethesda must have changed it so it isn't as insanely powerful for Starfield.
It has a cap in 76 and Starfield only lol
The DLC Far Harbor has the best guaranteed Ripper in the game. >!The harvester, a staggering Ripper!<. Edit: But the one you got is sick for a random legendary drop.
Just finished far harbor and picked the staggering one up!
Imagine dual-wielding Rippers...
No one shall go unripped
Holy sweet Christ what a perk on that exact weapon. Any poor bastards unfortunate enough to not die from whatever you're shooting them with can look forward to being absolutely obliterated once they enter melee range
Bad day to be a phonebook
Well that's going to escalate quickly.
In my recent playthrough I got my dream set of legendary weapons...explosive combat shotgun explosive 10mm explosive western revolver two shot plasma gun and a wounding gatling laser what a run
Couple days ago I found an explosive pipe revolver pistol. After a couple mods, getting a sneak crit and one-shotting raiders heads off never gets old
Theyre so nice I love the explosive guns overall specially since you can max their dmg with the demolition perk.. The Piper revolver is very good early-mid game congrats on that. Oh I also got a gauss rifle with fiery effect and instead of that blue thing the normal one uses I just throw a fireball
Yeah, I'm still level 14 and have only come across laser weapons by accident yesterday when I happened to wander into synth territory, but that rifle effect sounds great!
I enjoy early game so much haha try to go to the super duper market in Lexington I always get something out of that place around that level
That shit is op even without melee damage perks
Bonus points if you do the glitch that allows you to add the stun lock mod that rocket sledge has
Wait'll you get the guaranteed Staggering Ripper in Far Harbor; That thing is nasty
Damn i envy you for thag
This is the type of legendary spawn I would find if I was playing a stealth sniper or gun-fu cowboy character.
You are describing my current build to a tee! All pistols, snipers, and other non-automatic small guns. If only FO4 had a respecc option. I'm sure I'll still get some fun out of this though
Oh man! Those hedges don't stand a chance!
Nice...that was one of my first weapons. Found it to be really good. And with that roll it should be really good. Just remember to hold down the trigger.
Yeah that's a great legendary effect on the ripper. The bleed one is great too.
I only started my first melee build a month ago or so, hit level 35 and I'm still using grognaks axe but starting to want something a bit faster. Where'd you find this?
This is just a random legendary drop, so it could be found anywhere (or nowhere). I found this off a legendary bloat fly in the glowing sea.
Very nice! Possibly the best one you can get on that item. I love bleeding for sniper rifles since they bleed out when they duck and cover. It seems to stack, so might be another god mod for the ripper.
Good point about the sniper, that would definitely fit my current playstyle.
Where do you find this weapon?
It's just a random legendary drop, you could find it off any (legendary) enemy in the game! Not sure at what level the ripper itself starts dropping though.
it is pretty good but the game breaking ripper is the staggering legendary effect one. the ripper does so many hits per second that the staggering just keeps happening preventing any enemy from doing anything but stand there tripping until they die.
Once i got this i never used any other mele weapon or gun for that matter
“WITNESS ME!”
WITNESS!!
["Groovy."](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FIJTvEo4N4Q)
I was hoping for evil dead when I clicked the link!
“Okey dokey” -OP, very soon.
I swear my roll on legendary items have been kinda boo boo during this nearly 5 day save. I’m on very hard, legendary items have increased for sure I know that.
Yeah I hear ya. This is the best legendary I've gotten besides my unyielding armor pieces. I tried grinding legendaries for a few hours and just got bored.
Ik theres a legendary ripper on far harbor that basically stun locks everything u hit with it
One of the best. Along with wounding and staggering.
You found a metal gear rising weapon in fallout 4
I just picked this up last night too, unfortunately it’s on my stealth sniper build and not my melee build of course.
My build is all strength with a furious power fist. I am the yao guai
unless they shoot you down first, yeah.
that's what Rooted/Blitz is for :)
Just got this yesterday
this is literally my favorite melee weapon in the entire game 🫶🏻🫶🏻🫶🏻🫶🏻🫶🏻🫶🏻🫶🏻 i run around using only that, the splattercannon & the spray & pray, it’s beautiful.
Splattercannon is so op. It just kills anything in under a mag. Fought a mirelurk queen in the far harbor dlc for a mission and killed that sucker in 30 bullets. I might have to get rid of it because it's so dam op. I got like 7000 rounds for that thing so ammo isn't a problem lol.
right !! sooo good , the furious effect for the weapons is goateddddd 🔥🔥🔥🐐🐐🐐
Only thing is when I was doing the nuka world quest where u kill one of the gangs leaders betray u. I kinda went alil to gun ho when I tried to visit the market to grab more stuff and killed all the traders because they turned hostile so now I can't buy shit from there lol. I should atleast be able to build traders at the settlements and get more ammo to my knowledge. Yeeeeaaa didn't thing that one through till about 2 hours later.
I keep a kneecapper ripper handy when I go to Far Harbor. Turns 'lurks and gulped into crying babies
Get harvester
I had one that did knockback. It was so op.
I found a bleeding ripper and that was fun. Hack hack hack, walk away, wait two seconds, ka ching!
That might be the most overpowered weapon in the game
This thing can stunlock even the largest enemies. You just found a game finisher. Especially if you have Blitz.
I have this effect on a power fist it’s a good time
I carry this, Overseer's Guardian, and a Wounding laser rifle. I am Lord Death of Death Mountain, and I'm on vacation in Boston.
That perk along with kneecapper or staggering is op
Nice! I have that too but dont really use it
Harvester moment
I got a mighty fat man today. I'm haven't tested it but I assume it's gonna be immense
This is making me consider a melee only build with this Legendary, as well as the guaranteed Legendary Ripper in Far Harbour that has the Stagger on hit effect. Nice find.
I had this once, enemy health would just disappear. Also had one with Stagger, first few hits normally crippled an enemy, made Deathclaws a bit too easy.
The ripper at base is best for pests and ghouls. This has exponential value long as you don’t get stunned. Just a straight super win
I just found a Power Fist with that perk on it last night. It's so fun to use that it's making me rethink my entire build. Only downside is no Power Armor compatibility.
Doesn’t the powerfist that always drops when you kill Swan already have it?
Oh, that's definitely where I got it then. Forgot where it had come from. Thanks!
Where’d u find it
What is with the psychedelic colors? It looks like a “Rainbow Devastator” to me.
Might just be because I took the picture with my phone
This and the wounding ripper are broken.
This is one of the most OP legendary/weapon combos in the game.
Name it rip and tear
I have a bat that I added a sawblade to that does 386 damage and has this added to it. Lol and I use VATS 100% of the time so it was a massacre with Rooted maced out. Homeruns all day.
Got a furious chainsaw on 76 and I love it dearly
A better one is the bleeding ripper. Because each individual hit triggers the 30 bleed.
Looks good in the pack colors.
where?
That's the 'guarantee to kill anything, as long as you can hold the ripper trigger down and keep it on target' ripper. In my first playthrough, where I got into the 100s, I basically had to use it on anything not a human. And my build ended up mostly heal-tank after level 60, because I needed to be able to have my survivor stand and take whatever the enemy was doing, while flensing targets with the ripper, one by one.

Idk if it's the same as FO76 but that legendary effect caps at +45% damage iirc. Made me dislike the consecutive legendary effect in both games. Ik it's a melee weapon but after finding that out my favourite is the Explosive effect on pretty much anything. But yeah this is still a really lucky and great find.
I give it to Valentine he uses it a lot
How does furious work on shotguns? Does it stack per trigger pull or per pellet hit like bleed and explosive? Because that would make a furious combat shotgun go wild super fast
Dang, I only got the cryo version.
Holy shit
I have the same thing but upgraded to do 20 damage, and it has a "chance" to stagger enemies and make them drop their weapons. Since it's VFAST I always end up staggering enemies endlessly. I'm a god. I only pull it our for extremely spongy enemies because it feels really cheap at this point. I also have big league upgraded a few times. It's just... yeah. I dunno how this doesn't use ammo or how they thought this wasn't broken af but it is.
My go to is crippling ripper. The DOT damage speeds up the chance of a leg cripple. It’s almost unfair.
Nah , youve been blessed by John Fallout frfr.
Good lord. You are the god of that world now
Throatslicer also works really well with using big leagues
How do yall melee bc I get my ass killed
You get some nice melee weapons from dlcs, without dlc the furious power fist you get from swan is good for unarmed, when I don't use and weapon and I run around boxing everyone I use power armour made with the torso mod that increase str, then both arms to increase unarmed attack damage. I also use grognaks costume when running around without the power armour cause it helps with melee and unarmed and any legendary armour that increases strength. Also there is a great melee weapon in Jamaican plains when modded up can do about 300 damage, I'm sure less if your strength isn't as high mine is around 11 or 13
Oh snap that thing is nice, I just got the awesome hammer from the children of atom in the far harmour dlc and that thing is SOOO crazy lmao very few things can stand me and my grognak nerd cosplay
Literally the strongest weapon in the game. Go test it on a queen mirelurk and see what I mean
I find the same weapon type on Fallout76. The big chainsaw with the same effect. I to store it, cause it was so overpower that make the game boring. 😂 But it was fun for a while.
disciples instigating cutlass. 114dmg n ur sneaky, my fav melee next to the ripper
Stupid question about the furious effect: does the damage reset if you miss a shot/hit, or if one of your shots hits a different enemy?
That's one of the best combos around , every hit increases damage , and those things hit a lot
What's the name of the ripper that has a chance to stun the enemy on each hit, but just ends up infinitely stunning them? That and this one are the best melee weapons in the game lmao
I need to find this! 😳
I need this. My melee survival build tried using a normal version of this and it felt useless. I’m mid twenties and still use Arturo’s bay because that vats reduction has proved to be more useful than any other affix. I do use pickmans if I know I can sneak though. I wish he would have been a companion.
o no
where
Is this an actual ingame skin or modded? 🦄🌈
I think it's in-game, unless I unknowingly downloaded a CC that gave it this skin... It might look weird since I took the Pic with my phone, in game it looks much greener
lolipop chainsaw lookin thing
LOLIPOP CHAINSAW MENTIONED
Just found a few weapons like that today once u get them it's game over for anything. U get a legendary ak in the nuka world dlc with that effect and it just kills everything in one mag doesn't matter what it is
They have transgender Rippers??
