Chopper

The Chopper is a unique weapon .
==Characteristics==
Compared to the standard cleaver, the Chopper deals more damage as well as higher critical hit damage with a higher critical chance multiplier. It also deals a higher bonus amount of damage to limbs, further increasing the chance to cripple an enemy than the standard.
Visually, the weapon is visibly aged and rusted with white tape wrapped around the handle and the blade slightly curved upward.
The weapon is powerful and very useful for the early game as it deals high damage and can be easily repaired with the common cleaver. It is considered an improved holdout weapon.
===Special attack===
The Chopper has a special Back Slash attack, which does 70% damage in V.A.T.S. at the cost of 5 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===
The Chopper can successfully strike about 1,245 times from full condition before breaking.
==Variants==
* Cleaver - the standard variant found throughout the Mojave Wasteland.
===Comparison===
==Location==
The weapon is located at Wolfhorn ranch, found inside the farmhouse on the stove against the right-side wall.
==Bugs==
 The Chopper may be sold by Cliff Briscoe in Novac.
