Golden Gloves

 are a pair of unarmed weapons in Fallout: New Vegas.

Characteristics
Like Boxing gloves and Boxing tape, the Golden Gloves inflict a manner of 'sub-lethal' injury, in the form of Fatigue damage. When an opponent takes too much Fatigue damage, it knocks them out rather than killing them.

If the opponent cannot be Fatigued, the gloves will instead inflict 15 damage to their health. Of the three, the Golden Gloves inflict the most Fatigue damage at 50 points, versus the Boxing gloves' 35, and the Boxing tape's 20.

Robots are never capable of being Fatigued.

Comparison
* These weapons inflict Fatigue damage (FTG) in addition to their regular damage. ** Damage inflicted per shot if the target cannot be Fatigued.

Locations
The Golden Gloves can be found on the first floor of the Lucky 38 casino, in the VIP lounge. The VIP lounge is at the top of a small staircase to the left upon entering the Lucky 38. They are located on a Book-Shelf, with a Framed issue of Boxing Times adjacent to them.

Appearances
The Golden Gloves appear only in Fallout: New Vegas.

Behind the scenes

 * The Golden Gloves is the name of an annual competition in the United States for amateur boxers, usually referring to the National Golden Gloves competition.

Bugs
If worn in third-person during a situation in which the Courier's weapons are confiscated, the gloves can remain on his/her hands without being able to be used as a weapon. In essence, the gloves become the Courier's hands and, upon retrieving the weapons, do not show in the Pip-Boy as being equipped. Other weapons can then be equipped, with the gloves still appearing as being worn.
