Figaro is a unique weapon in Fallout: New Vegas.

Characteristics[]

Compared to the standard straight razor, Figaro boasts superior damage per strike and critical hit damage, having a faster attack speed and double the critical chance.

Visually, the weapon features a slightly tarnished metal handle with a polished silver blade decorated with ornate etchings.

Special attack[]

Figaro has a special Back Slash attack that does 70% damage in V.A.T.S., at the cost of three fewer action points (requires a Melee skill of 50).

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

Figaro can successfully strike about 445 times from full condition before breaking.

Location[]

The weapon is located in the King's School of Impersonation in Freeside, found on Sergio, a barber and member of the Kings gang. It can either be looted from his corpse after killing him or obtained via reverse-pickpocketing.

Behind the scenes[]

  • The weapon name is a reference to the opera The Barber of Seville, where the protagonist is a barber named Figaro.
  • In real life, there is a business called Figaro's Barber Shop that opened in 2008/2009 in Las Vegas. The in-game location of the King's School of Impersonation, where Sergio and Figaro are found, is roughly in the same area as the shop.
