Best Melee Weapons

Thermic Lance

Thermic Lance
CND: 800
Damage Ammo Fire Rate
100 - 1
STR Req. Skill Req. AP
5-7 100 65

The Thermic Lance is the best melee weapons in Fallout New Vegas, as its attacks ignore Damage Threshold and Resistance, on top of having the highest damage out of all melee weapons!

One attack with this bad boy in V.A.T.S. will reduce a Deathclaw's health to about 1%, with you dealing the finishing blow outside of V.A.T.S.!

Chainsaw

Chainsaw
CND: 800
Damage Ammo Fire Rate
100 - 1
STR Req. Skill Req. AP
5-7 75 65

Similar to the Thermic Lance, the Chainsaw's attacks also ignore an enemy's Damage Threshold and Resistance, with also having high damage. You can opt to the Ripper, a smaller weapon with a similar effect, if you don't have enough Strength for the Chainsaw.

Chainsaw ID and Stats

Oh, Baby!

Oh, Baby!
CND: 100
Damage Ammo Fire Rate
80 - 0
STR Req. Skill Req. AP
6-8 100 35

Oh, Baby! is a unique melee weapon that boasts high damage, but is slow when executing attacks. It can kill a Deathclaw in 3 charged attacks and 1 normal attack. Just time your attacks right to avoid missing your hits.
