So, my melee weapons skill is at 100, i decided to get Oh Baby! because it is my favorite melee weapon. I got it and it only does something like 80 damage. I had an old melee character with a melee of only 80ish, and it did something like 150+ damage. I don't have radiation poisoning and none of my limbs are crippled. Is this a bug or is it supposed to be this low damage?

I think maybe after the patch it made it that low. Maybe.

Welcome to the forums.

Sincerely,

Ace Hanlon.

that's the thing. this was happening about a week before the patch.

are you sure it just wasnt 150 DPS rather than 150 DAM?

no, i am positive it was damage :/

Do you have all Melee perks,10 strength,Lord death and Bloody mess?

I have heavy handed and my strength was 9 on both files

Heavy handed will not affect Oh Baby! as it is a melee weapon not Unarmed.
I suggest getting all melee perks and the strength implant and see it then.

alright thanks, i'll try that

Heavy Handed will actually affect Oh, Baby! because its unarmed AND melee.
