Mantis Gauntlet

The Mantis Gauntlet is a weapon in Fallout: New Vegas.

Characteristics
Visually, the weapon consists of a severed mantis forelegs, reinforced with metal bars and leather straps and fitted to the wielder's forearm by a medical brace or something similar. A handle on the "blade" allows stability.

Although it takes some time and investment, with a certain combination of perks and items, this weapon can be one of the most deadly in the game, because of its x3 critical chance. With Finesse, Ninja, and a 1st Recon Beret, complemented by Bloody Mess, Unstoppable Force, Better Criticals, Piercing Strike, Stealth Girl, Lord Death, and Melee Hacker, you will critical hit every time for around 164 damage, and have a DPS of over 450. With sneak attack criticals it can do over 300 damage.
