The boxing gloves are a weapon in Fallout: New Vegas.
Characteristics[]
An unarmed weapon consisting of enlarged leather gloves designed to be used in the sport of boxing. They do the lowest amount of damage of all unarmed weapons along with their unique variant, the Golden Gloves as a trade-off for their ability to inflict fatigue damage on humans and ghouls and animals; every member of those three categories has a hidden fatigue meter that is lowered per attack, and when it is completely depleted, the target will be temporarily rendered unconscious and fall to the ground, where they can be attacked further with stronger weapons. The weapons also deals the lowest amount of critical hit damage of all unarmed weapons along with the golden gloves, at a moderate AP cost, with a moderate weight, and having the second-lowest caps value of all unarmed weapons along with the golden gloves and boxing tape. They require no Melee Weapons skill level and only 1 Strength to use effectively.

Notes[]
As robots are inherently immune to being fatigued, the weapon instead does additional damage against them to compensate for the inability to incur fatigue damage.
Bugs[]
This weapon will apply the same fatigue damage even if the attacked non-player character is blocking. [verified]- No additional fatigue damage is applied when one's attack results in a Critical Hit or Sneak Attack Critical. [verified]
