The steel saw is a melee weapon available in the Fallout 3 add-on The Pitt.

CharacteristicsEdit

The steel saw is a weaker version of the auto axe, dealing roughly half as much damage. It appears to be a modified concrete cutter or concrete saw, with a rotating metal blade. Slaves use the steel saw for cutting through metal objects. However, this does not translate to an in-game damage bonus against robots.

DurabilityEdit

The steel saw can successfully strike about 625 times from full condition before breaking.

VariantsEdit

• Auto axe The Pitt (add-on): A modified and stronger version of the steel saw made out of old car parts
• Man Opener The Pitt (add-on): A stronger variant that ignores armor (power armor included).
• The Mauler The Pitt (add-on): The strongest variant of auto-axe.

LocationsEdit

• A chance to loot this item occurs during the slave revolt: several slaves will die, and some may have this weapon on their bodies.
• Can be found on Adan's body, near the bus, during the slave revolt.
• You can get one by killing Brand near the ammo press in the mill but you'll lose karma, you'll have to hide from other slaves and slave masters, and a certain slave will stay hostile until you use a Stealth Boy although she seems to have an incredibly low Perception so she's not very dangerous.

SoundsEdit

BugsEdit

• pc Sometimes, the saw will not show in first person at all, making it very hard to tell where you're hitting. ^[verified]
