Deathclaw Gauntlet (Fallout 3)

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

Characteristics
This 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 the perk Paralyzing Palm.

Attacks with this gauntlet disregard damage resistance from any type of armor including natural armor from creatures such as the radscorpion or ironically, deathclaws themselves. 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, this gauntlet will always score a critical hit.

Durability
The deathclaw gauntlet can successfully strike about 600 times from full condition before breaking.

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 Hole.
 * At the F. Scott Key Trail & Campground, there is a schematic inside a trailer next to a dead wastelander.
 * Can be found in a unique type A random encounter: A wounded deathclaw stalking a wastelander. The wastelander carries schematics - deathclaw gauntlet, and is dead when you get to him.

Crafting
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.
