|---|
The Ripper is a melee weapon in Fallout 4.
Background
A short-bladed, chainsaw-like device that was used by the military before the war, most likely used both as a weapon and as a general-purpose cutting tool.
Characteristics
The Ripper is a chain-blade type weapon that has very high DPS. Unlike its implementation in previous Fallout games, it can execute a powerful slashing attack on command outside of V.A.T.S. thanks to the addition of a separate melee power attack button. It is affected by the same perks as all melee weapons.
A Ripper normally inflicts 7 hits per attack in V.A.T.S., but is dealt rapidly in a short period of time, making a wounding variant one of the most powerful weapons in the game. When executing a V.A.T.S. critical attack, it has a special animation for the critical, striking opponents from a downward angle rather than stabbing them.

Variants
- Reckoning, which is sold by Smiling Larry either during a random encounter or at a weapon emporium if he is recruited as a settler. Reckoning allows the Sole Survivor take 15% less damage when standing and not moving.
- The Harvester, the unique Ripper found in Echo Lake Lumber in the add-on Far Harbor.
Locations
- One location for the Ripper is in the West Everett Estates, more specifically inside a shack next to a yellow house, just before the entrance to the backyard bunker. Inside, just beside the entrance to the bunker on a cabinet, one will find the Ripper.
- It can be bought from Arturo Rodriguez, in Diamond City.
- It can be bought from Cricket, a traveling merchant.
- May also spawn on high level Gunners.
Notes
- This Ripper is different in appearance to previous versions as it is militarized in design and colors, while previous versions have been more like tools.
- Unlike models seen in previous Fallout games, the Fallout 4 Ripper's chain has absolutely no teeth. However, the concept art displays teeth on its chain.
