The Dr. Mobius' glove is a unique weapon in the Fallout: New Vegas add-on Old World Blues.
Characteristics
It differs visually from the regular scientist glove in that it is a darker color and bears a golden badge. Upon using this glove in combat, it emits a small electronic pulse, much like that of the LAER, and frenzies enemies on a critical hit. Combined with its high critical multiplier, the Frenzy effect makes it very useful as a crowd control weapon.
Special Attacks
This weapon can use three special attacks in V.A.T.S.:Stomp, Uppercut and Cross. Note that in Fallout: New Vegas unarmed damage is double normal weapon damage when used in V.A.T.S.
