A flesh whip is an body part added by the Anomaly DLC that acts as a replacement for a pawn's natural arm and acting as a body part weapon.

Acquisition

The Twisted obelisk may give your pawn a flesh whip in place of an arm when interacted with or deliberately triggered. Or your pawns can start with one in the Anomaly starting scenario.

Horax cult pawns can also spawn with one

Summary

Combat

A flesh whip replaces the natural "Fist" attack of the replaced hand with a significantly more powerful Cut attack. When social fighting, colonists will not use the flesh whip to attack their opponent.[Verify]

    Analysis

    The flesh whip is the best body part provided by the twisted obelisk. It has slightly better dps than the elbow bladeContent added by the Royalty DLC. With an AP of 60%, it's even better than power claws against armored foes. A baseliner pawn with no modifications will get a significant boost to melee damage with 1 flesh whip, and a smaller but still worthwhile gain with 2. An adult baseliner with 0 skill in melee will have a melee dps of 2.05 with no modifications, a dps of 4.36 with 1 flesh whip, and a dps of 5.13 with 2 flesh whips.

    However, it is inferior to power claws in term of damage when used by ghouls, because its Melee AP stat isn't improved by ghoul's high melee damage factor. It makes up for this in terms of move speed though. See Ghoul #Body parts for more details

    Another benefit of flesh whip is that it is cloned by the corrupted obelisk, allowing you to mass-produce colonists or ghouls with high melee damage. It also doesn't increase the pawn's market value like other body part weapon. On the contrary, the beauty debuff of a flesh whip lowers the pawn's market value by −20%.
