Power fist

A Power Fist is a type of weapon that appears in Fallout, Fallout 2, Fallout 3, Fallout Tactics and Fallout: Brotherhood of Steel. In all of its incarnations, it appears as some variation of glove or armoured gauntlet, with a powered ram or similar device which improves the impact of the wielder's Unarmed strikes.

Big Frigger Power Fist


The Big Frigger Power Fist is an armored gauntlet produced by BeatCo, and uses energy cells to drive a kinetic storage device, similar to the device used in the Super Sledge.

Mega Power Fist


The Mega Power Fist is a new model, upgraded from BeatCo's previous 'Big Frigger' Power Fist. A promotional excerpt states that it has upgraded power servos to increase its strength. However, it uses twice as much charge from power cells as well.

Impact Gloves


Impact Gloves are an Unarmed class of weapon exclusive to Fallout Tactics. They appear to be a leather glove with a pneumatic piston bolted to the back of the hand, which extends on contact with the enemy for additional striking force. While not, strictly-speaking, a Power Fist, it is included as it functions in a more or less similar fashion. Impact gloves do not require ammunition.

Electric Power Fist


The Electric Power Fist is a Glove weapon that appears in Fallout: Brotherhood of Steel. It uses an internal power source, negating the need for power cells. The impact of the Electric Power Fist deals damage similar to a raygun shot.

Pneumatic Power Fist


The Pneumatic Power Fist (referred to in-game simply as a Power Fist) is an Unarmed-class weapon which only appears in Fallout 3. It appears as an armored gauntlet, like that off a suit of Power Armor. However, it appears to use a pneumatic ram instead of kinetic energy devices, making it function in a manner closer to that of the Impact Gloves. (see above)
