CharacteristicsEdit

The cosmic knife clean is a melee weapon almost identical in appearance to the standard variant, except all the cloud residue has been cleaned off, revealing a smooth, shiny blade. It also features a slightly higher damage and critical chance.

Special attackEdit

It has a special Surgical Strike attack, which does 150% damage in V.A.T.S. at the cost of 5 more action points (requires a Melee skill of 50).

Surgical Strike	50	45	25	1.8

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

It is possible to execute Surgical Strike 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.

DurabilityEdit

The cosmic knife clean can successfully strike about 995 times from full condition before breaking.

This weapon must be crafted by the player. It cannot be found on enemies or in containers.

Behind the scenesEdit

	The following is based on Fallout: New Vegas cut content and has not been confirmed by canon sources.

Shape and texture resources for the cosmic knife, cosmic knife clean, and cosmic knife super-heated are present in the files of Old World Blues add-on, but not used. Though present, no objects in the add-on use these resources. Curiously the resources are stored within the nvdlc01 folder used by the Dead Money add-on, rather than the nvdlc03 folder allocated to Old World Blues.
