Deathclaw Gauntlet (Fallout 3)

The Deathclaw Gauntlet is a craftable Unarmed weapon in Fallout 3.

Characteristics
This weapon is the strongest weapon in the game for Unarmed specialists, though the Steel Knuckles or Plunkett's Valid Points have far lower AP costs and are better for activating Paralyzing Palm.

Attacks with the gauntlet disregard damage resistance from armor. Thus, while it appears to be equal in damage to the Power Fist, it is actually far superior against armored foes due to its armor piercing ability and x5 critical percent multiplier. This means that it can tear Tesla-Armored Enclave Soldiers apart as easily as it can kill unprotected enemies.

With 10 Luck, Finesse and Ninja, you will always score a critrical hit. Thus making it even more powerful than the Shishkebab against Armored foes.

Building
The Deathclaw Gauntlet 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.

Deathclaw Gauntlet Schematics are needed to build it.

Locations

 * An already crafted Deathclaw Gauntlet can be found on the body of John Bear, one of the Bear Brothers, after the second battle in the Arena of the The Pitt add-on.

Appearances
Deathclaw Gauntlet appears only in Fallout 3.

Bugs

 * The Deathclaw Gauntlet does not ignore damage resistance. (this claim needs evidence)
 * This has been confirmed on an original, non-patched, non-modified version of the game. The Deathclaw Gauntlet does not ignore damage resistence. Over 50 times, the damage from one blow of the Deathclaw Gauntelt was on two Outcasts (one armoured, one with armour removed by console). The unarmoured Outcast took more damage and was killed by a single critical hit, whereas the armoured Outcast took less damage and survived a critical hit.
