A power fist is a type of weapon that appears in every incarnation of the Fallout universe released thus far; one of very few weapons to claim such status. In all of its incarnations, it appears as some variation of glove or armored gauntlet, with a powered ram or similar device which improves the impact of the wielder's Unarmed strikes.

Models

Big Frigger power fist

Fo1 power fist
Gameplay articles: Fallout, Fallout 2

The Big Frigger power fist is an armored gauntlet produced by BeatCo, and uses energy cells to drive a kinetic storage device, similar to the device used in the super sledge.

Big Frigger mega power fist

Fo2 Mega power fist
Gameplay article: Fallout 2

The Big Frigger mega power fist is a new model, upgraded from BeatCo's previous 'Big Frigger' power fist. A promotional excerpt states that it has upgraded power servos to increase its Strength. However, it uses twice as much charge from power cells as well.

Power fist

POWERFIST

The pneumatic power fist (referred to in-game simply as a power fist) is an Unarmed-class weapon which appears in Fallout 3, Fallout: New Vegas and Fallout 4. It appears as an armored gauntlet, like that of a suit of power armor. However, it appears to use a pneumatic ram instead of kinetic energy devices, making it function in a manner closer to that of the impact gloves. (see below)

Saturnite fist

Saturnite fist
Gameplay article: Old World Blues

Saturnite fists are an experimental prototype version of standard power fists. Made from the same lightweight ceramic 'Saturnite' alloy as Cosmic knives, they can be swung faster than their heavier counterparts.

Industrial Hand

Industrial hand
Gameplay article: Lonesome Road

The industrial hand is a tool consisting of a mechanical glove with a circular saw blade mounted on the back.

Impact gloves

Tactics impact gloves
Gameplay article: Fallout Tactics

Impact gloves are an Unarmed class of weapon exclusive to Fallout Tactics. They appear to be a leather glove with a pneumatic piston bolted to the back of the hand, which extends on contact with the enemy for additional striking force. While not, strictly-speaking, a power fist, it is included as it functions in a more or less similar fashion. Impact gloves do not require ammunition.

Mega power fist

MegaElectricPowerFist

The mega electric power fist is an enhanced version of the electric power fist that appears in Fallout: Brotherhood of Steel. It uses an internal power source, negating the need for power cells. The impact of the electric power fist deals damage similar to a raygun shot.

HERAKLES power fist

Gameplay article: Van Buren

Herakles was one of the Enclave-Poseidon Energy weapon programs that was abandoned during the Great War. The Prisoner could find these plans and rebuild the Herakles model.
