Dr. Klein's glove is a unique weapon in the Fallout: New Vegas add-on Old World Blues.
Contents
Characteristics
The glove is a blue rubber glove that appears covered with an unknown shiny chemical product. It has "Dr.K" written on the side and is somewhat "cleaner" in appearance than the regular scientist glove. "SCIENCE!", its associated object effect, causes a reduction in the target's Energy Weapons skill and weakens their Strength for a short time. The critical effect, "Science POW!", reduces the target's strength by an additional point, and reduces its DT for an extended time.
