Ballistic Fist

The ballistic fist is a weapon in Fallout: New Vegas. It is the most powerful of all unarmed weapons in the game.

Characteristics
The ballistic fist is a gauntlet with a small, pressure plate-activated shotgun welded to it. When using full armor suits, like the T-51b power armor, The shotgun appears to be grafted or welded to the suit, unlike the Displacer Glove or Pushy, which appear to overlap.

The ballistic fist is similar to the punch gun found in Fallout Tactics. It is an unarmed weapon rather than a Firearms weapon.

It does not require ammunition.

Even though it is very common among the legions, it does a considerable amount of damage.

Locations

 * The Praetorian Guard, Caesar's personal bodyguards, hold them. They can be found in The Fort, inside Caesar's tent. Additionally, there are a few of them in Legate's Camp, however you can only get to the location at the end of the game and thus can not be brought out of the quest area for main game use.


 * More usefully, the Weather Station guards (1 unique Legion soldier, 2 Praetorians) also carry them. You should be able to kill them and take their equipment without alerting the rest of the camp. You will not be challenged by the Legion forces in the camp for keeping your weapons.


 * Can be purchased from Torres in the Hidden Valley Bunker and from the quartermaster in the Hoover Dam offices after gaining access to their respective inventories.


 * Can also be purchased from Blake of the Crimson Caravan at the Crimson Caravan Company location.
