Hey

I was lurking around and i just found a pair of boxing gloves with fatigue (KO)

Dmg:1

Dps:2

i found it VERY funny so anyone else have them ? hehe

I use the Golden Gloves....cuz I am the champ. Use them outside of vats to knock someone/something down (KO)...somewhat effective, though not against deathclaws. I guess it might be if I ever lived long enough.

I like the Boxing Tape better for looks ... too bad it delivers less KO damage. I kinda feel goofy wearing boxing gloves all over the place. How am I gonna play Caravan in these things?

Even harder hacking a computer.....

I prefer the tape as well. Can you poison the gloves? I poison the tape when I remember to.
I quite like doing the Ranger Takedown move. That's pretty cool. Don't know if it can be done in the gloves. Never tried, because the time I picked some up and wore them I thought they looked terrible. A bit like bowling balls on my fists or something. Plus they didn't match what I was wearing.

The gloves can be awesome at times in the early-mid game. If something is too tough to kill it normally with your Spiked Knuckles/Paladin Toaster (the best unarmed weapons you'll have for a while, unless you are going way out of your way to get Pushy early or farm caps for a Ballistic Fist) you can KO it with Boxing Gloves, THEN equip your other unarmed weapons and do the Stomp attack in VATS while they are down....which does a ton of damage.

This trick helped me kill a lot of deathclaws early on.

I will say that there is something buggy/sketchy about fatigue damage though. The first time I tried the gloves, my unarmed skill was still rubbish, and the gloves were in poor condition. It took forever to knock out anything. The next time I tried them I was at 100 unarmed, gloves were fully repaired, and I had the psycho stim buff. I KO'd a deathclaw with like 3 Cross attacks from VATS, then Stomped him to death at my leisure.

You can POISON the tape? :blink: I must consider this. And I agree, taped hands are significantly more versatile for fashion purposes.

Does anybody know how much the Unarmed skill affects the amount of fatigue damage these things do?

Seems they did this as (yet another) homage to http://fallout.wikia.com/wiki/Boxing_gloves_%28Fallout_2%29

I am a disciple of Strong Bad. Performing mundane activities with boxing gloves is no sweat.

I miss the Strong Bad e-mails, they were hilarious.
