The Fist of Rawr is a unique weapon in the Fallout: New Vegas add-on Lonesome Road.
Characteristics[]
An unarmed weapon consisting of the severed right hand of a deathclaw with a medical brace used to affix it on top of the wearer's arm. It deals a high-end amount of damage per strike at a high-end attack speed. It also deals the second-highest amount of critical hit damage of all unarmed weapons (below the ballistic fist) with a 2x critical chance multiplier, a low-end AP cost, and a high-end caps value, but also with low-end durability and the second-highest weight of all unarmed weapons along with several others. It requires 100 Unarmed skill level and 6 Strength to use effectively.
The following is based on the Wild Wasteland trait. |
If one chooses Wild Wasteland as an active trait, whether in character creation or via using the Sink Auto-Doc from Old World Blues, the weapon's name will be changed to the Fist of the North Rawr but otherwise remains identical to the original version.

Creation requirements
Materials: | Requirements: | Produces: | ||
---|---|---|---|---|
Rawr's Talon (1) | Unarmed: 75 Lonesome Road add-on | Fist of Rawr (1) |
¹ Also craftable via the Workbench dialogue option available with Veronica, or with ED-E once the Lonesome Road add-on is installed.
Location[]
Crafting the weapon requires a 75 Unarmed skill level and the quest item Rawr's Talon, which can only be acquired after defeating the eponymous Rawr, found in a collapsed cave just past the Boxwood Hotel roof, near the pipe that has water spewing out of it, in the Divide.
Notes[]
- Even though Rawr's body has a unique dark green color, the Fist of Rawr shares the normal tan color of a deathclaw.
- Although the in-game description of Rawr's Talon states that it is "larger and more impressive than those of lesser deathclaws," the Fist of Rawr is actually smaller than the hand of any variant of deathclaw.
- Since Rawr's Talon is a quest item, and therefore cannot be dropped or removed from the player character's inventory, one is able to bring the item to the Sierra Madre, allowing it to be crafted and used. Similarly, it will not count against the weight limit during Happy Trails Expedition necessary to travel to Zion Canyon.
- Although a medical brace is incorporated into the weapon, one is not required to craft it.
The following is based on Fallout: New Vegas cut content. |
- The weapon serves as the only instance of a deathclaw gauntlet in the game as the standard version was cut during development.

Behind the scenes[]
The following is based on the Wild Wasteland trait. |
The weapon's name with Wild Wasteland, "Fist of the North Rawr," is a reference to the anime and manga Fist of the North Star (Hokuto no Ken) which takes place in a post-apocalyptic setting.
