Deathclaw Gauntlet (Fallout 3)



As its name suggests, the Deathclaw Gauntlet is a craftable unarmed weapon that is made out of a Deathclaw's forearm, fist, and claws, a medical brace for extra structure, a leather belt to render the hand rigid (and as a handle for the user's hand), and WonderGlue to hold it all together.

Schematics - Deathclaw Gauntlet are needed to build it.

Strategy

 * With its extremely high critical percent multiplier (x5), high bonus damage from critical strikes (+30), as well as its armor piercing ability, it can be more devastating in the player's hands than when attached to a living Deathclaw!
 * With the Ninja perk (+15%), a player with 5 Luck will always score a critical strike (((15+5)*5)=100%).
 * Long before level twenty, players with 10 Luck, Finesse (+5%), and Survival Guru (+3%) will be able to critical almost as often (((10+5+3)*5)=90%).
 * Since VATS attacks add a flat +15% bonus it's possible to reach a 100% critical rate without the ninja perk.

Appearances


Deathclaw Gauntlet appears only in Fallout 3.

Trivia

 * This weapon is a key component to creating a Freddy Kruger outfit. Equipping the Deathclaw Gauntlet along with the Ghoul Mask, Pre-War Hat, and Pre-war Spring Outfit (for male characters) (with the option of selecting the Mister Sandman perk) will transform you into this Hollywood serial killer!
