Deathclaw Gauntlet (Fallout 3)

The Deathclaw Gauntlet is a crafted unarmed weapon in Fallout 3.

Characteristics
This weapon is the strongest unarmed weapon in terms of damage, 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 chance multiplier. This means that it can tear Tesla armored Enclave soldiers apart as easily as it can kill unprotected enemies.

With 10 Luck and Ninja, you will always score a critical hit, thus making it even more powerful than the Shishkebab against foes. Thus, with the related perks and SPECIALs, the deathclaw gauntlet can be extremely effective against heavily armoured enemies.

Locations

 * Schematics can be obtained from Bannon in Rivet City after completing the unmarked quest Council Seat in his favor.
 * 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.
 * At the F. Scott Key Trail & Campground (located in the southwest corner of the map), there is a schematic inside a trailer next to a skeleton.
 * A pair of schematics can be found on a wastelander in a random encounter.

Construction
The deathclaw gauntlet is made out of a deathclaw's hand, 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.
