LocationEdit
The Golden Gloves can be found on the casino floor of the Lucky 38 casino, in the VIP Lounge. The lounge is situated at the top of a small staircase to the left upon entering the Lucky 38. They are located on a bookshelf behind the bar, with a framed issue of Boxing Times adjacent to them.
NotesEdit
- Like boxing gloves and boxing tape, the Golden Gloves inflict a manner of non-lethal injury, in the form of fatigue damage. When an opponent takes too much fatigue damage, they are knocked out instead of killed, though they will recover in time.
- Festus and Muggy can be disabled with the Golden Gloves, although most other robots cannot.
- When using this set of boxing gloves, it is possible to destroy a turret without it exploding, which results in the turret remaining loot-able.
Behind the scenesEdit
- The Golden Gloves is the name of an annual competition in the United States for amateur boxers, usually referring to the National Golden Gloves competition.
- The icon for Golden Gloves is stored in the folder which houses icons associated with perks.
BugsEdit
- 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 the player's attack results in a Critical Hit or Sneak Attack Critical. [verified]
- Sometimes when you switch to another weapon after equipping and using the Golden Gloves they will still appear as equipped even when you pull out the other weapon. [verified]
- Using the gloves in a sneak attack would occasionally result in the unit being hit flying vertically in the air. [verified]
