The zap glove is a weapon in Fallout: New Vegas.

CharacteristicsEdit

Visibly it appears as a blue and yellow colored metal gauntlet with an electrified plate wrapped around the fingers, which emits a burst of electricity when striking an object. A critical hit emits a more powerful blast. Its electrical nature makes this weapon especially effective against robots and (to a lesser degree) enemies clad in most forms of power armor.

LocationsEdit

• Crimson Caravan Company - it can also be bought from Blake.
• Hidden Valley - can be found on Brotherhood of Steel initiates, who wield it. Elder McNamara may also be seen wearing one. In addition, multiple scribes carry them.
• Hoover Dam - it can be bought from Quartermaster Bardon.
• Mick & Ralph's, Freeside - it can be bought from Mick.
• Miguel's Pawn Shop - can sometimes be bought from Miguel
• Red Rock Canyon, Great Khan armory - can sometimes be bought from the Great Khan armorer.

NotesEdit

• Despite a small energy cell being clearly visible in the glove, it does not require any ammunition.
• The zap glove and its special variant, the Paladin Toaster, can be used to destroy Securitrons and other robots usually in one punch, even without a critical hit, making it very useful for a player who is focused on Unarmed weapons.

Behind the scenesEdit

Sometime before release, the zap glove as well as many other unarmed weapons were supposed to use energy cells as ammunition, but it wasn't supported by the game engine and there was not enough time for implementation.^[1]

BugsEdit

• ps3 xbox360 pc The zap glove uses the same icon as the Fallout 3 version of the power fist, despite the game files containing a specific icon for this weapon. ^[verified]
• ps3 xbox360 pc Sometimes repairing the zap glove with another one will cause them both to disappear. ^[verified]
