Power Fist

Item from Fallout by Interplay / Bethesda

Pneumatic gauntlet that turns a punch into a hydraulic piston strike — the favorite weapon of anyone who wants to end a fight up close and make sure the other person stays down.

Wearing one changes how you stand in a room. It's a weapon that demands proximity — the wielder has to close distance, which means they're either fearless or desperate. The hydraulic impact can punch through metal plating, and the sound it makes on contact is sickening.

Appearance

Heavy metal gauntlet encasing the hand and forearm, with a pneumatic piston mounted over the knuckles. Hydraulic tubes run along the wrist. The striking surface is scratched and dented steel. It hisses when the piston resets between strikes.

Also known as: Pneumatic Gauntlet, Fist, Displacer Glove
