Boxing Tape is a weapon in Fallout: New Vegas.
Gameplay[edit]
Boxing Tape can inflict fatigue damage, in order to knock an opponent out, rather than kill them. However, Boxing Tape inflicts the least fatigue damage of the three.
Additionally, fatigue damage cannot be inflicted on robots, as robots cannot be knocked unconscious in the traditional sense. However, Boxing Tape will add additional HP damage to compensate for the ineffectiveness of fatigue damage.

Bugs[edit]
This weapon will apply the same fatigue damage even if the attacked non-player character is blocking.- No additional fatigue damage is applied when the player's attack results in a Critical Hit or Sneak Attack Critical.
- If you have the weapon equipped before entering a location where you must give up non holdout weapons, it will sometimes look like you're still wearing them even though they get removed.
