The Unarmed Weapons of Fallout: Part 2

[@RapTapTap69]

Another fun fact about the fist of rawr is that you can collect rawr's hand and then take it into dead money as it counts as a quest item. The gauntlet can then be crafted giving you one of the best melee weapons in an area with not too many good weapons.

[@Claymann71]

I was going to say this but you said it well. 👌 Best Sierra Madre run ever was my 100 Charisma-Unarmed character I modeled after Jean Luc Picard. Sweet talked everyone I met or suplexed them. I killed Benny with a stealthboy crit backstab while Unarmed. He was standing next to the railing on the 2nd floor of the Tops Casino so somehow I camo-suplexed him straight over the railing onto the ground floor. (This is unmodded. No idea how I did it forward instead of behind where I started from but I landed on Benny's neck & killed him with 1 crit) It was so glorious I didn't even think to take any pictures with F12 when it happened.

Thank you for this, using something from one of the best dlcs to complete the worst DLC sounds so lit

[@nicholashales7869]

Damn. Thats smart. Wish i knew that during my melee playthrough. Good to know if i decide to play again. Thanks

[@clothar23]

I guess it just seems weird to do since Lonesome Road is the end of the DLC storyline. And considering old Ulysses references the other DLCs it seems doubly weird. Not to mention the only annoying part of Dead Money is the cloud. And only if you're playing on Hardcore. Cause it's not like weapons are in short supply. You get a decent revolver , the holorifle , the bear trap fist , and the knife spears within minutes. If you can't make that work you probably should have invested into at least one combat skill.

[@RapTapTap69]

The ballistic fist using shotgun shells reminds me of that scene from Inglourious Basterds. But I can’t imagine a twelve gage shotgun shell’s recoil would feel good on your elbow.

[@Claymann71]

Install Legendary Mods Crafting-Modifiable. Craft Unarmed weapon. (I prefer Deathclaw Gauntlet) Add either Explosive PRO or Two-Shot PRO. Both are insane. Two-Shot is more powerful but Explosive is better 'for the lulz' but will kill Friendlies like Traders or Settlers very easily by mistake so be very cautious.

[@phohecks6046]

The barrel is too short for the recoil to be considerable ps.: also you are close enough that you problably won't be using 00 or something like that

[@chrisdiokno5600]

,There have been irl punch guns, and recntly a punch flamethrower

[@ianm9817]

@@phohecks6046 I agree, but even using #4 buck the charge is still considerable. The length of the barrel, or the lack of one, would only make that worse as there would be nothing to absorb the recoil. While the velocity of the pellets would be lower without a barrel that wouldn’t matter when the shell are being fired touching the target.

[@ravinraven6913]

That's probably what the hydraulics is for. Artillery used to have such a kick that it would roll out of place, once the hydraulics were added, it no longer needed to be re positioned as the recoil had been redirected

Even though I know it's probably a long shot, I'd absolutely love to see a video covering a location like Omaha. It's an area of the world with very little pre-existing lore (minus the fact that a group of brotherhood soldiers lost contact with the main brotherhood down in Lincoln). It would be interesting since Omaha is also home to Offutt Air Force base, home of SAC. The base also used to be an assembly plant for B-17s and B-29s back during WW2 (they produced the series of B-29s used to drop the first atomic bombs, ending the war.) Oh, and don't forget the stories of large rad-storms and mile wide tornados, as well as seeing highly irradiated and mutated bison. We could also include locations like the Omaha zoo, and depending on the size of the map, the Air and Space Museum. Since most of the games usually take place closer to the east or west coast (excluding New Vegas), I think it's a part of post war America that deserves a bit of love from Bethesda.

[@D0P3NA5TY]

Hawaii would be great for the next video in the Fallout locations series. New Orleans is also pretty cool, but already extensively gone over by other channels.

Anything strong enough to grip into trees or stonework is going to do some serious damage to meat. Though they'd look hella awkward to use.

[@planescaped]

They're a shaolin/kung-fu weapon too IIRC. There's a lot of impractical kung fu weapons, usually either to circumvent laws on owning weapons in ancient China, or to specifically make weird/challenging and obtuse weapons for training and sparring purposes. They were usually not meant for real fights.

[@ericnox2069]

The fact the Deathclaw gauntlet has a medical brace to protect the wrist and deal serious damage to the enemy is a good touch. In fallout 76 the Deathclaw gauntlet is increased in power by both melee bonuses and unarmed bonuses. If you build it right, it does insane dps and I tank with the thing. Minor Easter egg about wolverines claws. Originally, the artists and writers wanted the claws to be built into a gauntlet. Stan Lee wanted them to be part of Logan, as otherwise, anyone could pick up the gloves and be wolverine.

In Fallout 76 The “Gauntlet” is both an Industrial Fist and a Shock Glove depending on what Mod you have equipped to the Gauntlet. Just thought I would point that out because you mentioned the Shock Glove from NV but not it’s counterpart in 76.

[@Torkkar]

dude Tiger claws were an ACTIAL WEAPON used in Japan mainly by ninja's & Assassins, & was a laced leather strap with a thick metal plate with 4 back hooked blades designed to be sword catchers with a straight thrust palm strike, & to rake across & hook into their enemies often from hiding positions & literally ripping off faces, lastly the primary use of tiger claws was to climb wooden walls which 90% of a Japanese castle was made of wood. other than that spot on video though an interesting idea would be to take a look at the obscure weapons of fallout & find their real world inspirations or outright counter parts.

[@MagnusTonitrum117]

I remember combining several mods for FO4 that added different animations for melee attacks. It was pretty easy to connect perks to them too, thanks to improved GECK options. I'm talking knockdowns on certain attacks or damage increase and such. Almost completed a whole playthrough thanks to that even though I hated the game. Essentially, the only thing that keeps Bethesda from making good unarmed combat is their lack of interest in it, or some lone hero of an animator who will come up with 1st and 3rd person animation sets. As I said - tools for it are already present in FO4 and even a casual modder can make it all work.

Tiger claws are a real world tool/weapon used by Ninja they were used to aid in climbing but could double as a weapon by swiping your hand letting the claws stab into a target so you can grab them, also if fighting a person with a sword you could use them to try and catch the sword as the bar the claws are attached to would stop the sword after it slid between the claws.

Great video as always. About the possible Fallout locations video ideas, I'm quite interested in places like Montana, Utah, Idaho, or Colorado. You have a variety of terrain, from the Rockies to flatter plains to dunes to Yellowstone. There's also the Canadian border in the more northward states. And we have some Fallout lore already like how the Mormons settled in the remains of Ogden City before being attacked and destroyed by the White Legs, or Salt Lake City being a detonation site of a nuclear bomb during the Great War, to the best Khan ending in New Vegas stating they moved up northward and created a thriving empire in this general area. Moreover, that guitar playing guy in New Vegas is from Montana or so he claims, with fans speculating him being the son of the Mysterious Stranger. I've done some research into the Fallout lore of this area, as I have the Fallout 2d20 system and am writing a campaign centered around a few of the things mentioned in this comment, and find these places fascinating for speculating what they'd be like in Fallout's universe.

[@caseylieby2775]

What would you think of the Fallout game set in East Texas, perhaps with Houston in the west, the Golden Triangle (Beaumont, Port Arthur and Orange) in the west, Huntsville to the north and Galveston or even Freeport to the south. Granted this would be a rather large playing area, even if shrunk (although that could incentivize the introduction of vehicles) but it would also give a rather varied supply of locations to explore from the ruin jungles of the Houston and Beaumont-Port Arthur Metro areas (among others) to the vast forests of the Big Thicket and marshes between Winnie and Galveston. There’s also a number of unique locations that they could include like the Battlefield and monument of the Battle of San Jacinto, Spindletop, several coastal forts and the museum ships USS Texas, Stewart and Cavalla. This could probably also open up other parts of Texas (like Austin or San Antonio), Louisiana and maybe even other regions along the Gulf of Mexico (accessed either by shrimp boat, refurbished yacht or even by one of the previously mentioned museum ships that was recommissioned by one of the factions of the game) for DLCs.

32:06 Just a note on the "Tiger Claws," those are actually what are known as "shuko," which are Japanese climbing claws. They can be used as weapons to great effect as a secondary function, and were used as such by the shinobi / "ninja" Iga and Koga tribes of Japan. I can personally attest to the relative effectiveness of these tools for their purposes, as a climbing tool first and foremost, and a weapon as a secondary function, being particularly useful on the offhand when using any other weapon. They can be quickly donned and doffed while keeping them at the ready with the secondary arm/wrist loop, making them incredibly fluid in use and in transition to and from other tools / weapons. They feel awkward at first, and require a good amount of practice, but they're actually rather great for climbing non-vertical and some vertical surfaces (modern climbing spikes are faster and safer, but way less portable). As a weapon, they aren't exactly the equivalent of a medium sized box cutter (which itself isn't even a proper weapon :P ), but provide the spikes for puncturing, ripping, and tearing, multiple striking surfaces for smashing, and metal protecting the hand for defense against edged weapons. Again, these aren't really "weapons" nor should they be a first pick of anyone in need of such, but like anything from a screwdriver to an automobile, they can be pressed into service as a weapon in a dire circumstance and provide options beyond unarmed techniques alone.

[@patrikhjorth3291]

I really think Displacer gloves would have fit very well among Fallout 4 weapons. I wonder why they decided not to bring that along, while keeping the power fist. The Displacer glove could have been made pretty rare, maybe mostly found in (or on) the hands of the Institute, to suggest that it was pre-war tech maintained by them. Considering the Zeta Gun, one might suspect that the Displacer effect is reverse-engineered from captured alien technology... ----- Some trivia: "Dionaea Muscipula" is the latin name for the Venus Flytrap. They are not toxic, but they are obviously carnivorous. They do not, as far as I know, wear gloves. ----- The Tiger Claws are based on an Indian weapon called Bagh Nakh (literally "tiger claw"), but as someone else mentioned there is also a japanese counterpart which is more of a climbing tool than a weapon. They seem to be more of a "concealed carry" type of weapon, since they can be hidden in the hand, and can inflict horrendous wounds. They do seem kind of awkward to use, though, since they more or less require the user to grapple the opponent with the clawed hand. ----- The "punch gun" also has a real world counterpart, in the shape of a "pistol" attached to a glove, with a kind of plunger for a trigger. This will set the gun off when the user presses their fist against a solid surface... such as the back of the intended victim. They are very much assassination weapons. They use small caliber pistol cartridges rather than 12-gague shells, though.

I'm of the mindset that the Scientist Gloves in New Vegas are either reinforced or covered in Saturnite, and that's what makes them so unique. If you consider Saturnite's element retention, the corrosive and sterilizing variants kinda make sense

Ranger take down. And pocket sand are unarmed i think

I'd love to see someone analyze various regions and locations and their suitability for being in Fallout. I'm a little biased towards the Pacific Northwest as we've got a lot of woodlands and coastal areas, therefore a lot of wildlife that could be mutated. Cougars, spiders, ants, deer and elk, etc., plus metropolitan areas like Portland and Seattle.

The "Love Hate" brass knuckles are actually from a Spike Lee movie called "Do the Right Thing". In that movie one of the B characters shows the main character his brass knuckles that say " Love Hate"

I'm going to throw out a weird city: Phoenix AZ, there's not a whole lot going on around there land mass wise, but it would be cool seeing a legion centric area and it should provide for a cool bit of backstory to the faction

The tiger claw seems to be some variation of a ninja hand claw used for scaling vertical surfaces

Hey RadKing i was just wondering if your fallout bible series is finished or if your still planning on making more videos covering the fallout bible

[@dyllanward7777]

tiger claw gloves is very useful for climbing

32:10: They are ancient Ninja-weapon, used to climb trees and walls (allegedly), but also stealth-kill hostile guards by shredding their entire vocal chords.

I run a unarmed build on 76 using mutations I have more armor then my freind who uses a power armor build

Had no idea Yang's shotgun gauntlets were in fallout.

The cave where the Paladin Toaster is found is close by Helios One, and is inhabited by Nightkin. I think it is likely the Prospector got the weapon from Helios after the Brotherhood fled, only to be killed by Nightkin while exploring the cave.
