The Cram Opener is a unique weapon in Fallout: New Vegas.
Characteristics
Compared it to its standard variant, the Cram Opener deals 7.7% more regular damage and 10% greater critical hit damage. It has 25% more durability and identical weapon critical hit multipliers and AP costs as well. In appearance, the Cram Opener appears much darker in color than the standard variant.
Locations
- It is held by Little Buster, a soon-to-be-retired bounty hunter, in Camp McCarran. He can typically be found punching a practice dummy in between a truck and some tents.
- If you completed the quest Three-Card Bounty for Major Dhatri, Little Buster will leave the camp and will go to Freeside, via the north gate. There you will find his corpse, near the entrance's railroad tracks. The weapon will be found in his corpse. You must allow one to two in-game days to pass for his corpse to appear there.

- It is possible to obtain two copies of this weapon by pickpocketing it from Little Buster while is he alive, then looting it from his corpse later.
- The name of this weapon is a reference to the canned food Cram, which is also found in-game.
Bugs
This weapon has the icon of a melee weapon when you assign it to the D-pad, even though it is an Unarmed weapon. This also happens with the regular bladed gauntlet.- If worn while entering the interrogation room Silus is being held in during the Silus Treatment quest, the model will still be shown on your hands. This will continue after you have been returned your weapons, no matter what you currently have equipped. This also happens with the unique unarmed weapon Recompense of the Fallen and boxing tape.
- The armor penetration does not occur on normal attacks (deals about 6 out of 38 heavy-handed damage) even though the broken shield icon shows up. However, in power or V.A.T.S. attacks, the weapon deals an average of 30 damage. This was tested on giant radscorpions. [verification overdue]
