Ballistic Fist

The ballistic fist is a weapon in Fallout: New Vegas.

Characteristics
The ballistic fist's main components are the pressure plate overlapping the knuckles and the wrist-mounted shotgun activated upon making physical contact. It is similar to the punch gun found in Fallout Tactics. It has the highest base damage of any Unarmed weapon in the game. A temporary Critical chance of 53% is possible with this weapon through the use of chems.

Locations

 * The Praetorian guard, Caesar's personal bodyguards, carry ballistic fists. They can be found inside Caesar's tent inside the Fort. Additionally, there are a few of them in the Legate's camp; the player character is unable to take them outside of the camp, however, as the game ends shortly after confronting the Malpais Legate.
 * The Weather Station guards (1 unique Legion soldier, 2 Praetorian guards) also carry them. It is possible to kill all three soldiers without causing the rest of the Fort to become hostile.
 * Ballistic fists can be purchased from Torres in the Hidden Valley bunker and from Quartermaster Bardon in the Hoover Dam offices after gaining access to their respective inventories.
 * They can also be purchased from Great Khan armorer at the Great Khan armory in Red Rock Canyon.
 * Ballistic fists can be purchased from Blake in the Crimson Caravan Camp.
