The Ripper- My most LOATHED weapon

[DiscoSlice]

The only time I've ever encountered anyone with a ripper was in Andale, the cannibal town.

Ripper pro: You hold down and go for the head (;
Ripper con: I hate the 'RUNNN' sound. Which is why I always sneek behind enemies with the combat knife.

In Fallout Bortherhood of Steel the ripper is good for Cain the character. Cyrus is more of a hammer kind of guy. Nadia isn't much of a melee character. She's more into duel pistols.
What sucks is there are three hidden characters all human. Cain is the only ghoul in the brotherhood.
