A severed arm is a melee weapon in Vampire: The Masquerade – Bloodlines.
Acquisition[]
It can first be acquired during A Bounty for the Hunter. After finding Carson in his cell, Gimble will enter the room, swinging this severed arm. It can be picked up after killing him. Another severed arm can be acquired during the Dead Ex quest by following the ambushed courier into the sewers. It can also be found after blowing up an NPC, although the chances of this are low.
If Pisha is alive and willing to trade with the Protagonist, they can sell the severed arm to her for 10$.
Characteristics[]
More of a novelty item than a useful weapon for combat, the Severed Arm shares almost the same stats as the Tire Iron, having only +2 points in Lethality and +0.3 knockback chance.
It deals Bashing damage, which in most scenarios will make it inferior to bladed weapons and sometimes even worse than fighting bare-handed (depending on the player's stats), especially in the early game, where most character classes usually have a similar build.
