Hi i was wondering, how many people like unarmed like me? i think it is underrated as it is belived 'low damage' c'mon!!!!!
Bear trap fist? balistic fist? combie these with crosses and uppcuts and you can kill deathclaws at lvl 15!!!! i also am not keen on melee as they're heavy
and not as cool...... (in my opinoin)

None of them.

IMO unarmed is overpowered, all the special moves and "unarmed weapons" make the melee weapons go green with envy.

On the other hand, you look dumb running around with that power fist. The dagger you draw when you need it, melee weapons are simply more stilish.


I still wait for a game where a dagger is properly treated as a brawling weapon instead of a very short sword, until then I choose melee over "unarmed".

my character is both unarmed and melee.
I usually switch between the two when I feel like using one or the other

I use OH BABY!! a bit more then ballistic fist of ballistificationallism. They're both good, especially with Turbo+Chemist+Fast Times! If u got those perks you can take out 3 Deathclaws with one Turbo One of my goals in Fallout: New Vegas is to kill a Deathclaw with my bare hands in the Thorn bytheway, some may call me crazy.. but one that day when I defeat the Deathclaw we'll see who's crazy!

You're out of luck when you get too the dam hehe

Ballistic Fist.
Psycho.
Med-X.
Slasher.
Turbo.
Chemist.

Now nothing in the wasteland can harm you. NOTHING.

Ballistic Fist with the Legion Punch = AWESOME!
Ballistic Fist + Legion Punch + Slasher = DEATH!
Ballistic Fist + Legion Punch + Ranger Takedown + Khans' Dirty Move + Slayer + Slasher + Psycho = One KTFO Deatchclaw.

What if I use all weapons, including Super Sledge, Paladin Toaster, Brush Gun, Mercy, and YCS/186? There should be an "all" option on the poll.

Brush Gun + Cowboy + 100 Guns Skill + 10 STR + Lots of .45-70 GVT. rounds + Good Iron Sight Skills adopted from CoD = 2 shot kills for Deathclaws and one shot kills on most of anything else.

Hunting Shotgun + And Stay Back + Shotgun Surgeon+ 7 STR + 100 Guns Skills + Lots of 12 Guage Rounds + Good Hipfire and Iron Sight Skills adopted from CoD = PWNage to anybody or anything in the wasteland.

How is Uarmed low damage?

If anything, they have the best balance in DPH and RoF.

With SuperSlam and/or Legion Attack you could run over them like radcoaches.....

Ya, you dont wanna screw witht he guy holding a f-ing bumper, so....

I like to alternate between the Ballistic Fist (For tough enemies) and the Love and Hate (You can repair it with a common Brass or Spiked knuckles).

Scribe Counter is the [censored].

Roar in at high speeds and do the Legion Assault for an epic lunge. Then back up and wait for them to make a move, block and follow up with Scribe Counter. If they are still alive, which I doubt, Ranger Takedown and beat the brains out them.

can you use the ranger takedown to knock a deathclaw on his [censored]?

My unarmed/mellee weapons character preferred unarmed,allthough he did like the fire axe.
He thought it was a good balance of speed and damage.

What's funnier is that, even though it is a kick in Third Person, you still get the flash or bang effect of an unarmed weapon, PaladinToaster+RangerTakedown=LightningKick?

I voted for Mech Fists 'cause in the later game you need the extra power, but I love Love & Hate for the 2-fisted animations! In the 6-man at a time fights a Ballistic Fist is rockin' fun.

Also, Pushy makes an extra electric zap kind of a flash that looks great. I like to give that to Veronica just to watch her blast away.

I haven't built a character with enough Strength to swing a bumper, but it looks awesome, too. Hurts to get hit with, I do know that.

My Unarmed Build is this:
All special moves except Kha Trick (dishonorable)
Reinforced Leather Armor, Toughness 2, NEMEAN, Travel Light.
All unarmed/melee perks
Boxing Tape.

I agree! so many times have i fired shotgun pellets from my ballistic foot! how the hell is this possible?

Ballistic Fist, all the way. I currently have Veronica as my companion, and we both have them.
