“You want some weapon schematics? I can show you some fucking weapon schematics! You want a superheated Saturnite Power Fist? I can hook that shit up!”— Toaster
The Saturnite fist super-heated is a weapon in the Fallout: New Vegas add-on Old World Blues.
Contents
Background[edit | edit source]
This weapon is an upgrade of the standard Saturnite D-25A power fist, overheated by a process only known by the Toaster in the Sink. This fist now inflicts fire damage, but while the saturnite material keeping the heat remains intact, the mechanism is damaged, causing a loss of attack speed, although it still attacks faster than the regular power fist.
Characteristics[edit | edit source]
Compared to the original saturnite fist, it has less durability and lower attack speed, but inflicts much more normal and critical damage. It will set foes on fire upon a critical strike, inflicting 2 points of fire damage for 5 seconds.

Location[edit | edit source]
While the original fist can be found all around Big MT (specifically looted from lobotomite corpses), the super-heating process can only be performed by the Toaster in the Sink.
Notes[edit | edit source]
- When going through the process of overheating a saturnite fist, the super-heated version will always come out at 85% condition, regardless of what condition it was prior to being overheated.
- After being worn for a small period of time, the red heated area will dim, however, the special effects will persist.
- With the Pyromaniac perk, it has higher damage than a ballistic fist, with a faster attack speed, less AP used in V.A.T.S. and lower requirements for the Strength stat and Unarmed skill.
- This fist counts as an improved holdout weapon.
- Like the power fist and ballistic fist, the super-heated saturnite fist clips into T-51b power armor and Remnants power armor, making it look like it was crafted into the armor.
- If one has met the requirements for special unarmed attacks (uppercut and cross), the normal attack will not execute and instead will use these, which are faster than the basic strike.
- The heating process does not hurt the Courier, even though they are not wearing any protection on their hand.
- Even though it is a power fist variant, its kills do not contribute to the challenge Vault 13's Revenge.
Bugs[edit | edit source]
- The weapon's skin will go up and behind the arm to about the shoulder. To fix this, un-equip and re-equip the weapon, or go to a different area.[verified]
- If given to Veronica, the skins will change randomly from a large, molten power fist, to an orange-knuckled glove.[verified]
