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.

Deathclaw Gauntlet Schematics are needed to build it.

Strategy

 * With its extremely high critical percent multiplier (x5), high bonus damage from critical strikes (+30), as well as its armor piercing ability, it can be more devastating in the player's hands than when attached to a living Deathclaw!
 * With the Ninja perk (+15%), a player with 5 Luck will always score a critical strike (((15+5)*5)=100%).
 * Long before level twenty, players with 10 Luck, Finesse (+5%), and Survival Guru (+3%) will be able to critical almost as often (((10+5+3)*5)=90%).
 * Since VATS attacks add a flat +15% bonus it's possible to reach a 100% critical rate without the ninja perk.

U se that totals to 65 dmg with the deathclaw gauntlets armour piercing abilities and high critcal rate as mentioned above it can be devastating and when coupled with better critical and ninja perks u get Creating a critical hit dmg of 166.25 and ignoring armour wich rivals most small guns and energy weapons for out right dmg *high sneak and stealth suit advised*LOL added by SeNoJa
 * It is also possible to create the most damaging close combate weapon in the game when taken with the right perks even superior to the shish kebab though it take up 3 perk slot though most perks u can in fat do without once u reach lv 20 so its recommended for a second play through so heres hos it works

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 Or Shady Hat, and Pre-war Spring Outfit (for male characters) (with the option of selecting the Mister Sandman perk) will transform you into this Hollywood serial killer!
