Locations[]

• The plan for the auto axe is currently a part of Giuseppe Della Ripa's vendor inventory and may be purchased for 500 stamps. It was previously set to 1000 stamps, but this price was reduced with Once in a Blue Moon.
• The plan was first made attainable at rank 15 of The City of Steel, the tenth season. It would automatically be learned upon claiming the rank reward.

Notes[]

• The auto axe first appeared in the Fallout 3 add-on The Pitt.
• The editor ID of the old auto axe plan suggests that the auto axe would originally have been available after completing the main Wastelanders questline, bought with gold bullion from one of the gold vendors. The plan was scrapped, and the auto-axe remained unobtainable until Expeditions: The Pitt.
• The models, textures, animations, and sounds for the auto axe were added in Wastelanders, but corresponded to no item.
• The Turbo mod doesn't do anything, as the weapon is always at its fastest possible speed.
• Prior to patch 1.7.12.10, the Electrified mod dealt electrical damage instead of energy damage.
• The Electrified mod will make the auto axe receive damage bonus benefits from the science perks.
• In patch 1.7.12.10, the auto axe's damage was increased from 10/11/12/14/18/22/26 to 12/13/14/16/21/26/31 at levels 20, 25, 30, 35, 40, 45, and 50.
