- ¹ Includes V.A.T.S double normal weapon damage.
Locations
- Carried by various marked men.
- Stabbed into a sentry bot on level 3 of the Hopeville Silo.
- On the ground to the right of the damaged Eyebot in Municipal sewers.
Notes
- Like the teddy bear, the Bowie knife behaves erratically when picked up, (when placing it on a table, etc.).
Behind the scenes
- The Bowie knife is a knife popularized by Colonel James Bowie in the early 19th century.
- Giving someone a "dirt-nap" (the knife's special V.A.T.S. attack) is common mobster slang for killing someone, similar to "sleeping with the fishes". The term "dirt-nap" is used many times by Set in the original Fallout.
