I used them for atleast 30 mins before going to the Ultra-Luxe for a quest and as per they took my weapons but heres the catch Im still wearing the gloves and my inventories empty and I have no contition bar on my screen.
I ignore this and continue foward and back out the casino, I equip my hunting rifle and theres these shining gold balls round the barrel...I'm still wearing the gloves!
And their condition hasn't deteriated since I first repaired them using Jury Rigger
So in short are they meant to be permantly equiped and unbreakable ?
