Golden Gloves

The Golden Gloves are a pair of unique boxing gloves 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.

Special Attacks
This weapon can use three special attacks in V.A.T.S.:Stomp, Uppercut and Cross.


 * Note: In Fallout: New Vegas unarmed damage is double normal weapon damage when used in V.A.T.S.

Durability
The Golden Gloves can successfully strike about 1245 times from full condition before breaking.

Variants

 * Boxing gloves - The common Fallout: New Vegas variant.
