Compared to the standard power fist, Salt-Upon-Wounds' power fist has a unique secondary damage effect unlike other power fist variants as it deals poison damage to the degree of -3 HP over 10 seconds per strike along with making them dizzy and vulnerable to further attack. It deals a high-end amount of damage per strike, albeit at a low-end attack speed. It also deals a moderate amount of critical hit damage at a 1x critical chance multiplier. It has a low-end AP cost, moderate weight, and a decent caps value, but also low-to-moderate durability. It is considered an improved holdout weapon. It requires a 50 Unarmed skill level and 6 Strength attribute level to use effectively.
Visually, the weapon is structurally similar to the standard variant, but has been painted white with some orange marks in the colors of the White Legs tribe. Four identical feathers are attached to the wrist by a leather strip. A deposit of salt is attached to the striking point of the forearm ram, somehow being held together by duct tape.
If the weapon is not acquired from Salt-Upon-Wounds, either because it was not retrieved from his body before the add-on's end or he was allowed to flee during Crush the White Legs, a second instance of it is found in the footlocker that spawns in front of the southern passage during Departing Paradise.
Notes[]
Equipping the weapon and a set of T-51b power armor will result in it clipping into the right gauntlet and appear as if it was grafted into the armor.
It is possible to obtain two copies of this weapon by looting and dropping the fist from Salt-Upon-Wounds before the ending sequence. His power fist will still be present in the footlocker, and in the same spot that it was dropped. Note that the dropped item may disappear when returning to it. A way to get around this is to store the power fist on a nearby corpse, but not on Salt-Upon-Wounds, as his body will disappear after the quest ends.
Bugs[]
