Brass knuckles

Brass Knuckles is a Fallout, Fallout 2, Fallout 3 and Fallout Tactics weapon.

Hardened knuckle grip that is actually made out of steel. They protect your hand and do more damage in unarmed combat. The damage inflicted by this weapon depends on the player's Unarmed skill, and having them equiped, as with any other unarmed weapon, will prevent the player from receiving the benefits of the Paralyzing Palm and the HtH Evade perks.

Fallout and Fallout 2
In Fallout 2, perculiarly you can find Spiked Knuckles earlier than you can find this, making Brass Knuckles somewhat useless.

Fallout 3
In Fallout 3 the Brass Knuckles are an unarmed weapon and are affected by the Iron Fist Perk.

Brass Knuckles are randomly available on slain human enemies or from merchants.

Also, Brass Knuckles can be found looted off low-leveled Raiders from Springvale School just northeast of Vault 101.
