There are three coils along each side similar to the heating coils of an actual toaster. It inflicts more damage than the zap glove and does bonus damage against robots and enemies wearing power armor.

Variants

 * Zap glove - The common variant found throughout the Mojave Wasteland.

Location
The Paladin Toaster is located in Black Rock cave. It is lying on the body of a dead prospector and is guarded by nightkin.

Behind the scenes
Sometime before release, zap gloves, as well as many other unarmed weapons, were supposed to use energy cells as ammunition, but it wasn't supported by the game engine and there was not enough time for implementation.

Bugs

 * The Paladin Toaster uses the icon used for the Fallout 3 version of the power fist, despite the game files containing a specific icon for this weapon.
 * While wearing the T-51b power armor or Remnants power armor, the weapon can clip inside your arm if viewed in 3rd person.
 * If it is equipped by Veronica and she disappears due to the known bug after her quest is completed, next time she joins back, this weapon may be gone from her inventory.
