Am I Using The Tek Gauntlets Wrong?

[DreamMasterFTW]

I am on a private server, and we have unlocked all and equipped all of the tek gear. Now, I pretty much knew i wasn't actually going to be doing 10,000 damage to creatures. (even though I kinda hoped it would be super powerful) But it keeps saying that theres something special you can do when paired with the leggings. I've tried several button combinations, but all i end up doing is a charged punch forward. and then if i charge and click i just punch in front of me. Is the small charge punch forward the extra thing? If so it seems a tad unimpressive other then the fact it pushes some smaller dinos backwards XD.

Something with an attack from above, not really usefull in my opinion. I only used the leggings for the super speed while flying or on ground.

is there something to trigger the attack from above? (and yah, its pretty weak, i use it for speed too XD

When you look down while jumping or flying you will do an Iron Man Smash and it's weak but has an AoE pushback. Personally I find all the tek gear underwhelming for a "End Game gear set" the Helmet , Boots, and the Rifle are nice the rest is kinda meh

The punch js always aoe.

The leg arm combo is also a chest combo where you fly auper man style through the air. Very element costly. Use run and jump to conserve element.

It appears it only causes the damage of the last normal weapon you were using instead of using "it's own" damage.

So when I formerly had a sword and did e.g. 80 dmg and I use the mega punch after it'll only do 80 damage too.
Same goes for pickaxe, hatches and other weapons.
If I just logged in and had no other weapon used before I use the mega punch, it'll deal 0 zero damage.
Can anyone confirm this weird behavior?
