Ballistic Fist

The ballistic fist is a weapon in Fallout: New Vegas. It is the most powerful of all unarmed weapons in the game.

Characteristics
The Ballistic fist is a gauntlet with a small, pressure plate-activated shotgun welded to it. When using full armor suits, such as the T-51b power armor, the shotgun appears to be grafted or welded to the suit. This is unlike the Displacer glove or Pushy, which appear to overlap. This is just the Power Armor and the Ballistic Fist clipping, however.

The Ballistic fist is similar to the Punch gun found in Fallout Tactics. It is an Unarmed weapon rather than a Firearms weapon.

It does not require ammunition.

Even though it is very common amongst Legion troops, it does a considerable amount of damage.

Locations

 * The Praetorian Guard, Caesar's personal bodyguards, hold them. They can be found in The Fort, inside Caesar's tent. Additionally, there are a few of them in Legate's Camp; however, you can only get to the location at the end of the game.


 * More usefully, the Weather Station guards (1 unique Legion soldier, 2 Praetorians) also carry them. You should be able to kill them and take their equipment without alerting the rest of the camp. You will not be challenged by the Legion forces in the camp for keeping your weapons. It's a good idea to bring a Stealth Boy as there aren't any hiding spots inside the Weather Station.


 * Can be purchased from Torres in the Hidden Valley Bunker and from the quartermaster in the Hoover Dam offices after gaining access to their respective inventories.


 * Can also be purchased from Blake of the Crimson Caravan at the Crimson Caravan camp.
