Something old in Fallout New Vegas just went viral again online. Players are replaying the classic to test weird item behavior.
**
Fallout New Vegas Hidden Glith: This Melee Weapon Never Breaks, Ever is a prewar melee item that ignores durability. These unbreakable melee weapons keep working through hundreds of fights. Studies indicate this results from leftover developer flags in the game engine.
**
Hitting anything stays smooth, and the swing animation never changes. Research shows this trick works with specific craftable blades from add-ons. Normally, durability would drop, but the value stays locked at max.
**
This bug turns every scrap into a lasting companion for your guns. Take the strongest version, then stop worrying about breaking it in combat.
Does this work in survival or story mode?
Yes. The behavior stays the same in both modes and New Vegas remastered.
Can other weapons get this treatment with mods?
Some scripted items resist breaking if the override is applied during creation.
