Gehenna (GRA)

Gehenna is a unique weapon .
==Characteristics==
Compared to the standard Shishkebab, Gehenna inflicts greater damage, has a higher DPS, and uses fewer AP in V.A.T.S.. Like the standard, although paired with a back-mounted engine, Gehenna does not require nor consume any sort of resource when in use.
Visually, the weapon has a more pronounced and brighter flame, its valve is blue instead of the standard red and has "VALVCO" engraved on it, its handle is black, and the motorcycle gas tank is more rusted. It also retains the twelve tally marks etched into the gas tank, indicating the amount of kills from the previous owner, from the standard variant.
===Special attack===
Gehenna has a special attack called Back Slash that does 70% damage in V.A.T.S. at the cost of 3 fewer action points (requires a Melee skill of 50).
It is possible to execute Back Slash outside of V.A.T.S. (without the required Melee skill of 50 to perform the move) by initiating a power attack (hold attack button) while moving forward.
===Durability===
Gehenna can successfully strike about 1995 times from full condition before breaking.
==Variants==
* Shishkebab - the standard variant found throughout the Mojave Wasteland.
===Comparison===
==Location==
* Gun Runners - Sold by Vendortron.
==Notes==
* Even though Gehenna's blade is wreathed in fire, poisons can still be applied to the weapon. The damage over time from the applied poison stacks with the immolation damage. Combining the Pyromaniac perk and bleak venom can turn Gehenna into one of the most damaging melee weapons in the game, more than the standard Shishkebab. 
* Gehenna is one of the weapons able to complete the challenge "The Same Could Be Said of All Religious Weapons."
* As it is constantly on fire, when drawn, Gehenna will ignite flammable gas. The same applies if a companion has it equipped.
* When a limb is severed by Gehenna while on fire, the flames will never go out.
* The flame damage does not stack when applied on enemies.
==Behind the scenes==
* The weapon name is taken from Gehenna, a valley located outside ancient Jerusalem and is known as a place where various pagans sacrificed humans by throwing them in fire, and later, as Jerusalem and Judaism developed, waste would be burned there. Due to the increasing population, and thus increasing amount of waste, the fire was said to burn continually, and Jesus, and later Dante Alighieri, used this to produce an image of Hell, of which is now the most widespread representation: a place where evil people go to burn for eternity.
* The word "Gehenna" is also Aramaic for “Valley of the people of Hinnom," which is the proper name of the valley of blood, whose name later became synonymous with, and often translated as, hell.
==Bugs==
* Sometimes when you switch between the 3rd person view and the 1st person view, the flames don't appear. Removing and re-equipping the weapon fixes this problem.
* When used by companions, the blade and tank will not appear. Only the oven mitt on the right hand will appear.
