Mercy is a unique weapon in Fallout: New Vegas.
Gameplay[edit]
Mercy is a unique variant of the Grenade Machinegun. Its higher damage comes at the cost of using 40mm Grenades, which are less common and more expensive than the 25mm Grenades used by the standard Grenade Machinegun. It has a smaller clip size of 18, 12 fewer than the regular Grenade Machinegun. The 40mm Grenade is also heavier than its 25mm counterpart.
Durability[edit]
Mercy can fire a total of about 2495 standard rounds, the equivalent of 139 reloads, from full condition before breaking.
Variants[edit]
- Grenade Machinegun - The standard variant found in the Mojave Wasteland.

Location[edit]
Dead Wind Cavern - By a dead Brotherhood of Steel paladin along with some 40mm Grenades, 40mm Incendiary Grenades and a suit of T-45d Power Armor and a Helmet. It is guarded by various types of Deathclaws and the legendary deathclaw.
Notes[edit]
As this is an automatic weapon, its attack speed is not affected by perks that increase the Courier's attack speed, such as Ain't Like That Now.
Behind the Scenes[edit]
The writing on the "display" is part of a Bash script, a scripting language that is used for UNIX and UNIX-like operating systems like Plan9, Linux, BSD, Darwin, or MacOS. The script that the display shows seems to be a repeated conditional that prints an error, prints the correct usage, then exits with an error.
Bugs[edit]
- The game may crash if you fire continuously in the same place.
- The weapon can disappear from your game.
