Deathclaw Gauntlet (Fallout 3)

As its name suggests, the Deathclaw Gauntlet is a craftable unarmed weapon that 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.

Strategy

 * Probably the easiest way to obtain the weapon is at the F.Scott Key Trail & Campground. Head to Tenpenny Tower, the location put on your map after talking to Mr. Burke in Megaton. Then keep heading west until you get to the Dunwich Building. F.Scott Key Trail & Compound is just to the north-northwest. If you come to the "end of the world" to the south or west, you've gone too far. The schematics are located in a trailer usually guarded by a Deathclaw. This makes it the perfect area to get this weapon early on. Not only do you get the schematics, but you get the Deathclaw Hand which is hard to get early.
 * Another reliable way is to do the Council Seat Quest in favor of Bannon of Rivet City.
 * The PC G.E.C.K. lists only three schematics, with the third found on a "random" NPC. He has the name "Wasteland Settler" and wears a Roving Trader Outfit. This NPC has been reported in a number of places. It is not clear if these are different sightings of a single NPC (probably), or if the random encounter can occur more than once in a particular game (less likely): [[Image:DeathclawNPC.jpg|thumb|120px|The "Wasteland Settler" that carries the schematics]]
 * There is a barn behind Vault 101, that you can save before you get to. Keep loading to get the random event you want, which is a wounded deathclaw and a wastelander. Kill the wastelander for the schematic.
 * This wastelander and deathclaw encounter can be also found in Meresti Trainyard with the schematics on the wastelander's corpse.
 * Head close to Super Duper Mart and save before you approach it. Keep loading until you get the random event which is a dead Deathclaw and three or so raiders.  The hand is on the dead Deathclaw, the schematics are on one of the raiders, and there are two leather belts and wonder glue on the shelves in the locked closet in the back.  The medical brace is near the protectron terminal in the same closet.
 * Southwest of The Republic of Dave is the MDPL-16 Power Station, with another Deathclaw and an already-dead Wastelander encounter. The Deathclaw and Wastelander corpse were spotted behind the sub-station building opposite the door. The Deathclaw had around four bars of health, so this may be a good spot for low-level characters to obtain the blueprints.
 * At the MDPL-05 Power Station it can be found, therefore if you are lucky enough to find it here you can pick up 2 different schematics in one location.
 * Outside, in front of the Robot Repair Center.
 * In G.E.C.K., the encounter instantiates as a dead Settler and a wounded Deathclaw. So if you unexpectedly encounter a live Deathclaw, or a fire-fight (with other randoms) and a dead Deathclaw, search the area where the Deathclaw was first seen for the Settler with the schematics. Also note that most of the encounters (above) seem to be in named map locations, as opposed to wide-open wilderness (but not all of them?). Also see this page's Talk page.

Components
Once you have the schematics, you will need a workbench and one each of the following items:

Schematic Locations
The schematics can be found:
 * By completing the side quest given to you by Bannon in Rivet City
 * In the trailer in F.Scott Key Trail & Compound
 * Found on the body of a dead wastelander in a random encounter, with a Deathclaw nearby as part of the encounter

Trivia

 * This weapon is a key component to creating a Freddy Kruger outfit. Equipping the Deathclaw Gauntlet along with the Ghoul Mask, Pre-War Hat, Pre-war Spring Outfit (for male characters) and selecting the Mister Sandman perk will transform you into this Hollywood serial-killer!

Appearances

 * Deathclaw Gauntlet appears only in Fallout 3.
