The police baton is a weapon in Fallout: New Vegas.

CharacteristicsEdit

A weapon meant to keep order, used by long-gone police. Now used by peacekeepers and trouble-makers alike.

Special attackEdit

It has a special Lights Out attack that does 125% damage in V.A.T.S. at the cost of 6 more action points (requires a Melee skill of 50).

Type of attack	Skill required	Damage per attack in V.A.T.S.	Action point cost	Damage per action point
Normal	0	20	23	0.87
Lights Out	50	25	29	0.86

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

It is possible to execute Lights Out 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 police baton can successfully strike about 1245 times from full condition before breaking.

LocationsEdit

• Potentially obtainable at the start of the game, during Ghost Town Gunfight/Run Goodsprings Run. You may take them off the corpses of Joe Cobb's powder ganger friends after they die during the fire fight in Goodsprings.
• Can be found on a dead scavenger (Mr. RADical) southeast of Novac in Clark Field.
• Multiple police batons can be found in Vault 34.
• May be used sometimes by Freeside thugs.
• Powder Gangers sometimes have them.

BugsEdit

• ps3 Stealing NCR Chief Hanlon's police baton out of his personal locker at the foot of his bed and going outside and dropping it then tossing it off the concrete ledge at the resort will always result in a system freeze and will require a hard shutdown. ^[verified]
