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. When using this glove in combat, it emits a small electronic pulse, much like that of the LAER. On successful hits, the weapon has an object effect called "MADNESS!!!", which reduces the target's Energy Weapons skill and Perception significantly. "Mad Science Attack!" is the critical effect that causes knockback 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.
