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

Characteristics[]

An unarmed weapon consisting of a black-and-red-colored electrical glove with a mounted technological apparatus that can push the target back upon impact of a punch, possibly done via a concentrated sonic blast emitted from the speaker situated on the knuckle. It deals a high-end amount of damage per strike, albeit at a low-end attack speed. It also deals a high-end amount of critical hit damage, albeit at a moderate AP cost as well as having moderate durability, a moderate weight, and a high-end caps value. It requires 100 Unarmed skill level and 4 Strength to use effectively.

Notes[]

  • Despite a small energy cell being clearly visible on the top of the glove's apparatus, it does not require nor consume any type of ammunition (see the BTS section below).
  • If one has learned the Ranger Takedown from Ranger Andy, when performing the leg sweep, the same wave of energy is created when the leg comes into contact with the target even though the fist isn't technically used, which is visible in the third-person view.
  • The shock wave blast produced by the weapon is similar to that of a Gauss rifle.

Behind the scenes[]

Joshua Sawyer stated that the developers intended for several unarmed weapons to be capable of using and consuming ammunition as a way to distinguish their use against other weapons, but problems with implementing such a system ultimately resulted in the idea being scrapped and weapons like the ballistic fist and displacer glove simply having an independent, invisible, infinite ammo supply.[1]

    J.E. Sawyer: I intended for several of the Unarmed weapons to use ammo, but we encountered some problems with implementing it. I would have liked to continue with it because I think ammo use/reloading could have helped distinguish those weapons in more interesting ways."
