Deathclaw Gauntlet or Power Fist

[William Shakesman]

which one is better

[Amanandhisdog]

there is another unarmed fist type weapon i like to use...the bear arm... bear skull with some knee brace looking forearm strapping... packs a punch. but i have always liked the power fist and totally wish it was something we could mod onto a power armor.

DCG or PF which is better what? dmg? dps? for which build type full unarmed?
perks? variables. a few. answers many.

what about the gauntlet? : https://fallout.fandom.com/wiki/Gauntlet_(Wastelanders)

DCG: https://fallout.fandom.com/wiki/Deathclaw_gauntlet_(Fallout_76)

Power Fist: https://fallout.fandom.com/wiki/Power_fist_(Fallout_76)

all from this over all page which at the top explains which perks are meant fro which weapon type handy info.

and unarmed is a long scroll to the bottom of the page.

That is because you have to complete Project Paradise with at least two test subjects alive AFTER receiving Bear Arm as a reward. Even then the plan is rare.

Then after you learn the plan you have a chance to receive the mod plans.

I have a crappy legendary version (Stalker with some other garbage) and even put the puncturing mod on it. It has rotted in my vending machine for weeks.

Why did you guys not include the Mole Miner Gauntlet? I got an Anti-Armor with faster swing and that would wreck mobs faster than the deathclaw gauntlet due to the swing speed.

The best unarmed weapon is the Gauntlet because you can craft it until you get the legendary you want.

powerfist+punchturing mod beats guantlet .. always have a powerfist in all of yoru characters even if they are ranged.. its a good farm weapon..doesnt break oten and one hits almost everythign without legendary mods.

just finished watching angry turtle video.. i guess unarmed weapons will be ♥♥♥♥ after patch tehy took the worst hit .. your better of with single handed or dual weild weapons for mele after patch.. thats the only negative i have as well for next patch..unarmed weapons took bad hit on damage everything else in patch seems ok.

This is why I keep weapons of all sorts lying around. Got some good hammers and swords.

That nerf is for bloody builds.
It is also not true because melee actually had less of a nerf due to bloody and unyielding being paired.
Pretty sure there was abuse of the unyielding glitch that gratz extra stats and it probably got the glitch fixed on PTS.

watch him live if u want.. he does not use glitches, he is a humble dude and also there were other ppl who showed teh damage change bloodied death claw guantlet at 20% health had base damage of 1300ish and in PTS it dropped to 330.. Turtle explained the additive calculation in his own way.. in summary unarmed benifited the most before patch thats why u saw most highlevel mele players with powerfists.. i see the difference too as my mele character runs powefist and other mele weapons dont hold up.. uarmed weapons were the best mele weapons in game for damage/durability/punch rate/visibility after patch im not sure.. i dotn have PTS so i have to watch ppl play and see the difference..

I saw his xp video. He had like a 60 INT. It only gets that high when unyielding glitches and counts twice.
