Unarmed

Unarmed is a skill in Fallout, Fallout 2, Fallout 3, Fallout Tactics, Fallout: New Vegas, Van Buren and J.E. Sawyer's Fallout Role-Playing Game.

Fallout 2
$$\text{Level}=40\%+\frac{1\%\times(\text{Agility + Strength})}{2}$$

In Fallout 2, you can learn unarmed skills from the following persons:


 * Lucas in Arroyo, near the big stone head;
 * John L. Sullivan in Klamath, retired boxer-veteran, spending his days in the Golden Gecko bar, on the west side of town.
 * Lo Pan and The Dragon in San Francisco Chinatown, both arch-rivals of each other, but both are equally skilled in unarmed attacks and they have a lot of knowledge to pass.
 * You can get a 5% increase for using the punching bags on the first level of the Sierra Army Depot and another one at the basement of the Shark Club.

The HtH Evade Perk gives your character some extra AC, but only if both slots are unequipped. (Unarmed-class weapons such as spiked knuckles or power fists are allowed)

The attacks are divided into two groups: primary and secondary. At any one time you will have up to four attacks available: the strongest primary punch/kick you meet the requirements for (a plain punch/kick if none), and the strongest secondary punch/kick you qualify for, if any. The secondary attacks have a higher AP cost and cause more devastating effects.

Fallout 3

 * $$\text{Initial level}=2+(2\times\text{Endurance})+\left\lceil\frac{\text{Luck}}{2}\right\rceil$$

Example: A starting Endurance of 5 and Luck of 5.


 * $$2+(2\times5)+\left\lceil\frac{5}{2}\right\rceil=15$$

In Fallout 3, the unarmed skill is tied to the Endurance SPECIAL stat. The player character will receive a boost of +2 points in Unarmed per level of Endurance, for a maximum boost of +20 points at 10 Endurance. Luck further raises Unarmed effectiveness by +1 points per every 2 levels (+5 Unarmed at 9 Luck).

The AP cost (Action Points, used in VATS) when completely unarmed is 22.

In Fallout 3, it is not possible to target individual body parts in V.A.T.S. while unarmed, but the chance of head strikes increases with skill. Targeting with the crosshair outside of V.A.T.S enables the player to select body locations in an attempt to cripple and/or disarm. It's possible to knock-out an opponent even with non-critical head strikes; this should not be confused with the effects of the Paralyzing Palm perk, as it can be done without the perk, it can be done outside of V.A.T.S. and with any unarmed weapon, though the chances are greatly improved with bare hand attacks.

Attacking in V.A.T.S. can cause the Lone Wanderer to "teleport" several yards to attack his/her enemy. This is an exploitable aspect of the game, and can be used to avoid a few seconds of enemy fire or reach normally inaccessible areas.

Fallout: New Vegas

 * $$\text{Initial level}=2+(2\times\text{Endurance})+\left\lceil\frac{\text{Luck}}{2}\right\rceil$$

Example: A starting Endurance of 5 and Luck of 5.


 * $$2+(2\times5)+\left\lceil\frac{5}{2}\right\rceil=15$$

As in Fallout 3, the Unarmed skill is tied to the Endurance SPECIAL stat. The player character will receive a boost of +2 points in Unarmed per level of Endurance, for a maximum boost of +20 points at 10 Endurance. Luck further raises Unarmed effectiveness by +1 points per every 2 levels (+5 Unarmed at 9 Luck). Just as in Fallout 3, unarmed damage is unaffected by strength; the only change is that unarmed weapons now have a strength requirement in order to use them at maximum efficiency. However, aside from the Ballistic Fist, the strength requirements are generally very low.

The AP cost (Action Points, used in V.A.T.S.) when completely unarmed is 22.

Due to the weight of ammo in Hardcore mode, unarmed and melee weapons become more attractive options. As a result, Fallout: New Vegas possesses a multitude of new, more powerful unarmed and melee-specific perks, game mechanic bonuses (i.e. special attacks in V.A.T.S.) at higher levels of skills; specifically, an Uppercut at 50 and a cross attack at 75). The Unarmed skill is also a requirement for several very powerful perks which enhance both Unarmed and Melee attacks, making it an attractive option for fighters of either persuasion.

There are four different special moves that can be learned from different NPCs in the game. You can learn the Ranger Takedown attack from Ranger Andy in Novac, the Legion Assault from Lucius at Fortification Hill, the Scribe Counter from Veronica, and the Khan Trick from the Red Rock drug dealers. Each requires completing a task to be taught the move. Andy requires either a Speech check of 30 or completing his unmarked quest, Lucius will only teach a player with an Unarmed skill of 50, Veronica needs to be given a fancy dress (from the White Glove Society), and the Red Rock drug dealers will only teach their move once Aba Daba Honeymoon is complete.
