It has a special 'Mauler' attack, which does 50% damage and has a chance to knock enemies down or disarm them. The weapon can also cause your enemies to fly backwards and be knocked out. Legate Lanius can be seen hitting NCR (non-veteran) rangers with it, dismembering and getting one-hit kills.

The Blade of the East has an effect of -2& HP for 10 seconds.
