What’s your guys favorite unarmed weapon? Do you go for style or statistics? Let me know c: Edit: also yes I understand that the pushy should probably have been called a displacer glove variant rather than a ballistic fist variant, I viewed them as the ballistic fist and its ammo unarmed versions IM SORRY. To repent I will give blamco to the homeless in freeside
pushy to be specific is an electrical glove, the unique variant of the displacer glove, the other type of electrical glove is the zap glove, and paladin toaster, the reason the zap glove is noteable is due to how it does +20 base damage to power armor and robots similar to a pulse grenade or a proton axe.
Yeah true. Max crit can give you like a 90% chance to do a minor stun because of the frenzy animation allowing for additional hits with other weapons right?
I started a survival playthough as a tribal shaman, with Embrace of the Mantis King being my main weapon. I really enjoyed the high crit and range, and it grew to become one of my favorites. Other then that, I love the pyromaniac perk + the super-heated Saturnite fist combo, since Gehenna and the Heavy incinerator are also my favorite weapons to use. :)
i remember being a little kid and me and my friend had a hard time getting very far in new vegas, and we'd kinda just wander around a lot. he told me about the spiked knuckles in a safe in primm and how you could shred with them. compared to what i know now those aren't a big deal obviously, but back then those spiked knuckles were huge, so i appreciate the shout out to love and hate. we were the new vegas equivalent of prim-locked and even the non-unique variant was killer.
Dude this is some hell of a coincidence but I've been doing my first unarmed playthrough but every time I get done with a playthrough someone puts out a unarmed video and I was just about to search for the best unarmed weapon and this was the first thing on my recommendations as soon as I open the app. Or I'm just baked
This video makes me want to do another Unarmed build due to the sheer fact of how cool Unarmed is, also the fact that the industrial hand's armor piercing doesn't work and it's still OP is bonkers. great vid!
I love how ballistic fist gets integrated into the power armor texture. Also the concept just seems very cool to me. I agree some other options could be better but its a single player game and BF is "good enough" enough to clear all content on Very Hard anyway so that's my fav unarmed weapon in NV
my new vegas character is a cannibal, and i think watching a girl use a deathclaw-claw as a weapon and then eat that person..would be an amazingly horrifying sight :3
Personally my favorite would have to be Greased Lightning, for its sleek black look with it's Nuke logo, and probably the Fist of Rawr since using a Deathclaw hand for a weapon is absolutely wicked sick
12:28 another thing to add is rushing water. get your survival to like 60, make some with water and turbo and it makes you attack even faster. take a turbo and some slasher and now your star platinum lol
Love your videos. I can’t tell you how incredible it would be if you covered similar categories for TTW. There are so many adjustments and tweaks in that mod and the wiki is somewhat light. I imagine most category winners wouldn’t change from New Vegas but I don’t know.
Pushy is a unique displacer glove Embrace of the mantis king is better than a ballistic fist with a critical build, and nearly as good as the fist of rawr And the in geck I believe it says all automatic weapons such as the ripper, chainsaw, and thermic lance, attack 10 times per second. This is easily checked by the weapon binding ritual increasing all melee attacks by a flat +5 damage equating to +50 dps with those weapons.
It depends on if you look at the displacer glove as a variant of the ballistic fist, the wiki lists it as such (or at the very least views it as categorically the same as ballistic fists) although there’s definitely an argument to say otherwise lol. I just ended up rendering it as a ballistic fist for this video and because that’s just been my general belief.
@@ClLuna Pushy's literal editor id in the code of the game is "DisplacerGloveUnique" I don't think all displacer gloves count as ballistic fists in the lore. I think they're just in the same category for ease of coding Zap glove's also aren't displacer gloves, they're all their own things.
While Automatic Weapons do technically have a Number on the GECK for their attacks it's far from accurate. Many people have already tested that piece of shit and have come up with very wild results. I've personally tested it by setting its crit chance to 100% recording while attacking, then counting how many critical hit pop ups were there after exactly 10 seconds of attacking. On 1 pc i got 11 per second, on the other i got 14 per second lmao.
@@aldmjr I believe that the wiki lists them as variants because they were *intended* to be variants of each other, they were both supposed to use ammo but that couldn’t be implemented in the game, they were the only two unarmed weapons that were supposed to do that! It may have been more accurate to say they are under the same category but I just went with variants to save time and not having to explain it.
She's Embrace is a good one. Negates DT and has crazy crit chance. In testing I did from a few years back it kills Deathclaws quicker than a Ballistic Fist
Pushy I re-remembered after searching for dungeons in FNV for an argument with someone talking about "no dungeons in FNV" and man, Pushy is a BEAST, my character with just Str 7 and poor 34 unarmed skill(and no melee or unarmed perks) was wiping the floor with enemies. Unironically this might be mid to late game version of chance's knife, in a sense that you should take it if you need a weapon to fall back onto to take out trash mobs 😅
AP cost is mostly meaningless on unarmed weapons because the uppercut and cross attacks, unlocked at 50 and 75 unarmed, have a flat AP cost of 20 regardless of weapon
Industrial Hand is fine, very late game weapon that can't proc Super Slam, doesn't benefit from Rushing Water, Slayer and Melee Hacker, can't use Unarmed Moves outside of VATS and can Barely use the ones in VATS. In a lab environment and with bug fixing Mods it is technically the strongest weapon in the game, during actual gameplay Perma Stunlocks with the Fist of Rawr or Mobius Glove aswell as guaranteed Stuns from Ranger Takedown AND Immediate Damage upon knockdown from every other Unarmed thing is just better. Especially in the hardest encounters like the Courier's Mile etc, unless you're using Chems but at that point you can just use your fists. Mobius Glove is probably stronger IMO, Super Strong CC with 92.5% and another 15% chance of happening only limited by having to survive into Close Range. Fist of Rawr is IMO the best Overall, even better than the Industrial Hand. Mobius Glove is excellent utility when paired with it, and Ballistic Fist excels at VATS One-Shots from Stealth so it has a spot. Especially when we consider Non-Crit Damage Oriented Perks like Eye For Eye. Great Video as Always.
i used to play a 1-int 1-agi handyman character using holorifle and industrial hand as their main weapons she has small frame and wild wasteland. jury rigging, rad resistance and absorption is a lore pick for her that idiot savant goblin is still out there in the wastes repairing power armor and robots with nothing but duct tape, wh40k ork magic and enough mutfruit to fill hoover dam twice over
I mean, unarmed has 4 techniques, so there is something to unatmed. Now Melee on the other hand is robbed in FNV, nothing unique to em 😢. Although come to think about it, we don't have that many roleplaying games that aren't turn based that have good melee combat. Only example I remember is Kingdom Come Deliverance
