The scientist glove is a weapon in the Fallout: New Vegas add-on Old World Blues.
Characteristics[]
An unarmed weapon consisting of a dirtied teal-blue polymer chemical glove. It deals a low-end amount of damage per strike at a low-end attack speed. It deals the third-lowest amount of critical hit damage of all unarmed weapons along with its variants, but has the second-highest critical chance of 1.5x among its variants (below the 2x of Dr. Mobius' glove). It has a moderate AP cost and the third-lowest weight of all unarmed weapons (above the boxing tape, brass knuckles and that weapon's variants of spiked knuckles and Love and Hate), but has the lowest durability of all unarmed weapons along with the mantis gauntlet.
It is the only one of its variants that has no unique effects. Like all scientist glove variants, it is considered an improved holdout weapon. It requires a 25 Unarmed skill level and 2 Strength attribute level to use effectively.
