The corrosive glove is a weapon in the Fallout: New Vegas add-on Old World Blues.
Characteristics[]
The corrosive glove has a unique secondary effect that inflicts poison damage on a successful Critical Hit that will drain -2 HP for 10 seconds. Unlike normal poisons, which can only affect organic enemies, the damage inflicted by the corrosive glove will harm both organic and robotic enemies.
Compared to the standard scientist glove, it also deals a similar amount of normal damage per strike, albeit at a lower attack speed, the lowest of all unarmed weapons along with the ballistic fist and its unique variant Two-Step Goodbye 
, the bear trap fist 
, and the power fist. It also deals the third-lowest amount of critical hit damage along with its other variants, at a 1x critical chance multiplier (lower than 1.5x for the standard variant and 2x for Dr. Mobius' glove). It has the highest AP cost of all its variants along with the standard variant and the sterilizer glove as well as the second-highest durability (below the sterilizer glove) and the third-highest caps value. Like all scientist glove variants, it is considered an improved holdout weapon. It requires a 55 Unarmed skill level and 2 Strength to use effectively.
Visually, the weapon is similar in appearance to the standard variant except for being a sickly green color instead of teal-blue and being covered with an unknown green acidic liquid on the fingers.
