The Saturnite fist, officially the Saturnite D-25A power fist, is a weapon in the Fallout: New Vegas add-on Old World Blues.
Background[]
The Saturnite ceramic polymer alloy was created at the Big Mountain Research and Development Center as a cost-effective alternative to common, yet expensive materials used in household items and weapons. In addition to creating the incredibly sharp cosmic knives used at the Sierra Madre Casino & Resort, the alloy was also incorporated into the design of the D-25A pneumatic power fist anti-personnel weapon to create a superior model.
Characteristics[]
Compared to the standard power fist, the Saturnite fist deals less damage per strike, but at a faster attack speed as a result of its reduced weight. It also deals less critical hit damage at the same 1x critical chance multiplier. It has higher durability and a doubled caps value. It requires a lower 45 Unarmed skill level and 4 Strength attribute level to the standard's 50 and 5, to use effectively.
Visually, the weapon has a similar design to the standard variant but has a blackened red and teal color scheme instead of gunmetal gray. The product code "D-25A" is stamped onto its left side while the Saturnite name and logo are stamped above and below it, all in white paint.

Locations[]
- Commonly carried by lobotomites throughout Big MT.
- One is located in the Saturnite alloy research facility at the very end of the cave (around the back of the pit), on a counter. Another can be found on Sparks.
- In the X-8 research center, completing the "Lobotomite and Dog" splicing routine can result in one being found on the lobotomite's corpse.
- In the Big MT west tunnel, one can be found next to a skeleton in the railway section in the rear of the tunnel.
Bugs[]
When having this equipped at the Fort (as a concealed weapon) and entering and exiting Caesar's tent, it may automatically unequip and appear as a large block, since the weapon's mesh has vanished. To fix this, simply reload a save file. This only happens with the Saturnite fist.[verified]
