The machete is a weapon in Fallout: New Vegas.
Characteristics
The machete appears to be a makeshift weapon, and consists of a lawn mower blade strapped to a wooden handle. It is the primary melee weapon of Caesar's Legion. Aside from having a low Strength requirement, it also does bonus limb damage.
Special attack
It has a special Back Slash attack that does 70% damage in V.A.T.S. at the cost of 4 fewer action points. Unusually for melee weapons, there is no Melee Skill requirement to use this attack.

 | - Type of attack |  | - Skill required | |
 | - Damage per attack in V.A.T.S. |  | - Action point cost | |
 | - Damage per action point |  | - Additional effects | |
| | | | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Normal | 0 | 22 | 20 | 1.1 |
| Back Slash | 0 | 15.4 | 16 | 0.96 |
- Note: Melee weapons do double normal damage in V.A.T.S.
It is possible to execute Back Slash 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.
Durability
The machete can successfully strike about 245 times from full condition before breaking.
Variants
- Machete gladius
- Liberator - A unique version carried by Dead Sea.
- Broad machete
