The Ripper (GRA) is a weapon added with the Fallout: New Vegas add-on Gun Runners' Arsenal.

Characteristics

A variant of the standard Ripper enhanced by the Gun Runners to accept custom modifications. When fully modified, compared to the standard variant, it deals more damage per strike and more damage-per-second, has higher durability, and has a significantly higher caps value.

Special attack

The Ripper (GRA) has a special Long Cut attack that does 50% damage in V.A.T.S. at the cost of 20 less action points (requires a Melee skill of 50).

Notes

• When using the Ripper against certain non-human enemies (like giant mantises), red blood will be spilled instead of the intended blood color.
• The Ripper does not have a visible trigger or button to activate it.
• The damage and DPS displayed is counted for 1 second of continuous attacking. The critical damage, however, is counted for every damage tick. Those ticks happen tens of times per second and because of this, the Ripper, along with other "hold down for continuous attack" melee weapons, is extremely strong with critical chance/damage bonuses. With no critical damage bonuses, the difference between 0% and 20% critical chance is double the amount of damage displayed. With 100% crit chance the damage seems to be seven times the basic amount.
• This weapon, like all other continuous attacks (automatic) close combat weapons, has only its "start-up attack" animation sped up by attack speed bonuses, while damage dealing and DPS is completely unaffected.

Bugs

• Due to an engine bug, the Ignore DT/DR effect does not apply correctly and because of this, Piercing Strike gives a marked improvement in DPS. ^[verified]
• When the HD chain is installed, the weapon will automatically repair itself when below 60% condition.
