Another fun fact about the fist of rawr is that you can collect rawr's hand and then take it into dead money as it counts as a quest item. The gauntlet can then be crafted giving you one of the best melee weapons in an area with not too many good weapons.

Ah the Deathclaw Gauntlet... for when your in power armor but need to scratch your own back without taking off your armor

The ballistic fist using shotgun shells reminds me of that scene from Inglourious Basterds. But I can’t imagine a twelve gage shotgun shell’s recoil would feel good on your elbow.

Tiger Claws are actually real, and are mostly meant to be climbing tools. However, that means they're sharp as shit to cut And grip rock, so a good rake with em can do some serious damage

Since you mentioned the unique unarmed attacks from Fallout 2, I wonder why you didn't mention the unique unarmed animations from Fallout 4 or the unarmed attacks you learn from various people in New Vegas like the Ranger Takedown.

The fingernail gloves and their notes about sexy black leather are likely a reference to catwoman and black cat. They are 2 comic book characters that have clawed fingernails and famously wear tight black leather that shows off their curves to seduce the main hero, batman and spiderman respectively

40 minutes of cozy radiation warmth, very appreciated

They need to make an unarmed weapon that has the Crippling or Duelist's legendary effect that is called "The Disarmer."

The palm blades are based on a historic ninja weapon, supposedly used to climb walls. It was seen on mythbusters

The fact the Deathclaw gauntlet has a medical brace to protect the wrist and deal serious damage to the enemy is a good touch. In fallout 76 the Deathclaw gauntlet is increased in power by both melee bonuses and unarmed bonuses. If you build it right, it does insane dps and I tank with the thing. Minor Easter egg about wolverines claws. Originally, the artists and writers wanted the claws to be built into a gauntlet. Stan Lee wanted them to be part of Logan, as otherwise, anyone could pick up the gloves and be wolverine.

And yes New Orleans would be pretty dope to see in fallout. Even though New York city would be a challenging location to pull off limitations wise I still think seeing the statue of liberty being used as either a BoS or some other faction HQ would be pretty badass though

I love the Ballistic Fist so much. I wish it was in other games.

Hawaii would be great for the next video in the Fallout locations series. New Orleans is also pretty cool, but already extensively gone over by other channels.

I had zero clue that the Deathclaw Gauntlet was sold by merchants after level 20, actually, I had no clue the deathclaw gauntlet was sold by merchants, _period_

You know me I love the energy weapons but, my favorite fist weapon is the shotgun first. There should be a perk that allows the player to combine two of any similar fist weapon so you can... dual weld your fists.

Even though I know it's probably a long shot, I'd absolutely love to see a video covering a location like Omaha. It's an area of the world with very little pre-existing lore (minus the fact that a group of brotherhood soldiers lost contact with the main brotherhood down in Lincoln). It would be interesting since Omaha is also home to Offutt Air Force base, home of SAC. The base also used to be an assembly plant for B-17s and B-29s back during WW2 (they produced the series of B-29s used to drop the first atomic bombs, ending the war.) Oh, and don't forget the stories of large rad-storms and mile wide tornados, as well as seeing highly irradiated and mutated bison. We could also include locations like the Omaha zoo, and depending on the size of the map, the Air and Space Museum. Since most of the games usually take place closer to the east or west coast (excluding New Vegas), I think it's a part of post war America that deserves a bit of love from Bethesda.

The Tiger Claws are actually a ninja tool called the shinobi shuko mainly used for aiding in climbing trees or scaling walls, though they could be used for combat.

On the subject of setting: I always wanted to see a cold weather climate like North Dakota or Montana, which would also open some southern Canadian locations, another thought was Alaska, in the years since the Chinese invasion of Anchorage, Atom must’ve given it an interesting story of its own, and I still want to see Radcougars and Vertibird-sized mosquitoes

Fun fact, the two step good bye's special powers of exploding things also affect special unarmed moves, including the Khan's sand attack...So you can throw explosive sand at enemies

That hazard symbol is actually for a strong oxidizer. Makes me wonder what that implies about the special ballistic fist. Maybe it uses a 2 part propellant.

The sacrificial knife, in FO 4, basically shows the supernatural to not only be real, but radiation as a special energy in universe.

If you find or know of myths, urban legends, rumors or the like, when looking for your next location, it would be fun to have you speculate how that turned out. We see in Fallout many myths, cryptids and other obscure things either surfacing post apocalypse, or influencing/integrating into a new culture or faction.

Ranger take down. And pocket sand are unarmed i think

@ 20:30 I believe the Brass Knuckles are a reference to the film “Do the Right Thing” as a pair of knuckles that say Love and Hate appear in the film. Also fantastic video. Love these weapon ones

I know its going to be a good weekend when a new Rad king video comes out.

interesting Fallout game location could be Allaska, all with maybe winter freezing survival mecahnics, requiring you getting also warm, or maybe whole different place form USA, as maybe China or any other place, that would still be surely affected by Great war

In Fallout 76 The “Gauntlet” is both an Industrial Fist and a Shock Glove depending on what Mod you have equipped to the Gauntlet. Just thought I would point that out because you mentioned the Shock Glove from NV but not it’s counterpart in 76.

Oh, what an interesting 40-min sermon I've just heared. This is a unique content, and I'm glad to have found it.

Praise be to Atom and praise be to Radking. May you forever bask in Atom's glow until the great beyond calls you

28:19 32:28 they could’ve been pulling inspiration from Catwoman or Black Cat comic book characters for the designs of the gloves. Or the the concept artist spends a lot of time at the Gamora casino one of the two

I remember combining several mods for FO4 that added different animations for melee attacks. It was pretty easy to connect perks to them too, thanks to improved GECK options. I'm talking knockdowns on certain attacks or damage increase and such. Almost completed a whole playthrough thanks to that even though I hated the game. Essentially, the only thing that keeps Bethesda from making good unarmed combat is their lack of interest in it, or some lone hero of an animator who will come up with 1st and 3rd person animation sets. As I said - tools for it are already present in FO4 and even a casual modder can make it all work.

40 min? Yes, please!

I'm curious as to why the ballistic fist from New Vegas isn't included in Fallout 4 as a makeshift weapon like the pipe guns

Bro I love listening to your videos while I fall asleep. I just rewatch them during my lunch breaks at work.

Love & Hate is such a helpful weapon. You can get it early on and just keep it the entire game as a badass holdout weapon. I always used them when killing low level enemies to save durability too.

Another great video. Keep them coming!

Small correction. The character from The Night of the Hunter is named Harry Powell. He's played by the actor Robert Mitchum.

The Atom Cats just like to collect and customize Power Armor , hate the Gunners ( mostly for trying to steal their power armor), and likes to help that sweetheart June Warwick.

I really enjoyed this. Thanks Radking!

Tiger claws are a real world tool/weapon used by Ninja they were used to aid in climbing but could double as a weapon by swiping your hand letting the claws stab into a target so you can grab them, also if fighting a person with a sword you could use them to try and catch the sword as the bar the claws are attached to would stop the sword after it slid between the claws.

I was looking for part 2 this morning, I'm eager to watch it

HELL YEAH NEW RAD KING VIDEO AS IM ABOUT TO CLEAN MY ROOM AND STOP BEING DEPRESSED

love your videos man

Great video Radking you are the heart of Fallout content on this platform.

The tiger claws are actually inspired by the real life Tekagi-Shuko. Used by ninja to help with climbing and can be used as a make shift weapon, though rarely.

32:17 these are an actual ninja tool, called Shuko, or Tekagi-shuko (meaning tiger hand) they could be used as claws in a pinch, but were mainly used by ninja as a climbing tool, along with claws on the feet

Wake up babe new radking just dropped!

I"ve always thought a deathclaw finger knife would be cool. The finger bone would be the grip and the claw would be pointed outwards and swung like a kukri almost.

love ur videos theyve been a great experience to dose off to in the evenings.

I'm a new sub and iv Been watching your content like crazy for the last few weeks💯

I think that the Power fists were made to get some concrete and cement lose enough to either remove it or replace it with something else.

Also, “ Love” and,” Hate “ are tattooed on the knuckles of Dr. Everett Scott’s nephew Eddy in ,” The Rocky Horror Picture Show “.

dude Tiger claws were an ACTIAL WEAPON used in Japan mainly by ninja's & Assassins, & was a laced leather strap with a thick metal plate with 4 back hooked blades designed to be sword catchers with a straight thrust palm strike, & to rake across & hook into their enemies often from hiding positions & literally ripping off faces, lastly the primary use of tiger claws was to climb wooden walls which 90% of a Japanese castle was made of wood. other than that spot on video though an interesting idea would be to take a look at the obscure weapons of fallout & find their real world inspirations or outright counter parts.

Thank you for always making great videos to fall asleep too❤

The tiger claws are actually shuko hand claws for climbing walls that some historical ninja used they're good for blocking blades along with it and a good quick slap will cut into a person's face or body the black leather is specifically mentioning that they're more modern in this case then the shuko of historical make which were solid iron around the whole hand and wrist

I going to second my suggestion for Alaska on this video, along with an suggestion for whole series you should talk about new items and creatures that could be added based on the region for example Alaska would allow for pine sodas, rad-mosses, and snowshoes.

The deathclaw gauntlet was so cool in 3.

I have fond memories of practically swatting away nightstalkers one by one with the First of Rawr

Another idea for a location, Arkansas, plenty of mountains for Vaults, Old Nuclear missile Silos, plenty of wide open space for exploring etc etc

Love your vids keep it up ☺️

As an Alaskan, I'd love to see Anchorage make a comeback and to also include Homer and Fairbanks. I mean, like seriously... We need more Alaska locations!

The Unstoppable Monster in fallout 76 that he described is the gen 2, characterized by overall lower damage and a reddish hue. The gen 1 was given to players by completing a series of challenges, with higher damage and only came with 2 claws, whereas the gen 2 is crafted with 3. The Gen 1 Unstoppable Monster was the first item in any video game i ever grinded for and I love it as a backup option for when i have no choice, and is fantastic for melee builds.

Upload 3 minutes ago. New record and thx for the vid

I would love a video in whitch you discuss the sacred word of Atom, and explain it to all the non believers (a video on the beliefs behind atom)

Spike Lee’s movie, “Do the right thing” also has a character wearing the same gold Love and Hate spiked knuckles. It is also a reference to the film mentioned in video.

Unarmed builds are definitely my favorite in New Vegas. Get the appropriate level perks and all of the unique power attack perks and you’re unstoppable.

Great video as always. About the possible Fallout locations video ideas, I'm quite interested in places like Montana, Utah, Idaho, or Colorado. You have a variety of terrain, from the Rockies to flatter plains to dunes to Yellowstone. There's also the Canadian border in the more northward states. And we have some Fallout lore already like how the Mormons settled in the remains of Ogden City before being attacked and destroyed by the White Legs, or Salt Lake City being a detonation site of a nuclear bomb during the Great War, to the best Khan ending in New Vegas stating they moved up northward and created a thriving empire in this general area. Moreover, that guitar playing guy in New Vegas is from Montana or so he claims, with fans speculating him being the son of the Mysterious Stranger. I've done some research into the Fallout lore of this area, as I have the Fallout 2d20 system and am writing a campaign centered around a few of the things mentioned in this comment, and find these places fascinating for speculating what they'd be like in Fallout's universe.

The redesign of the deathclaw gauntlet in fallout 4 was one of the greatest tragedies of the series.

I love the Punch Gun. The weapon variety in Tactics is part of the reason I like it more than FO1.

You say under appreciated Radking, but truth to be told, Unarmed Melee was the most viable thing for a while in Fallout 76, giving all the insane amounts of buffs you could stack into it. It wasn't until the Great Nerf of Wastelanders that all melee weapons got nerfed to the ground.

I know I’m about a year late but in one of your Nuka cola videos, you mentioned how Nuka cola quartz crunches when you drink it, in the kanawha nuka cola plant in fallout 76 on the “Nuka cola product research terminal” it mentions using “non-soluble sugar flakes to simulate quartz” Meaning the crunches are solid suger

Fist of the North Rawr got me intersted in watching the anime of it's namesake, both the weapon and the anime are my favorite.

I think a neat location to have a Fallout game based on would be Alabama, specifically in the Huntsville area. A decent sized city, known for space travel and the main headquarters of NASA in the real world. Plus there are interesting locations that could be towns/settlements. The Space and Rocket center could be that game's "Diamond City/Megaton" or at least be a couple dungeons close together.

the "tiger claws" are ironically actual things you can find in real life, I don't remember their names, other places might have other names but the ones I know ninjas used to scale some walls and trees with, using the claws in the palms there. (at 33:08

hell yeah

What would you think of the Fallout game set in East Texas, perhaps with Houston in the west, the Golden Triangle (Beaumont, Port Arthur and Orange) in the west, Huntsville to the north and Galveston or even Freeport to the south. Granted this would be a rather large playing area, even if shrunk (although that could incentivize the introduction of vehicles) but it would also give a rather varied supply of locations to explore from the ruin jungles of the Houston and Beaumont-Port Arthur Metro areas (among others) to the vast forests of the Big Thicket and marshes between Winnie and Galveston. There’s also a number of unique locations that they could include like the Battlefield and monument of the Battle of San Jacinto, Spindletop, several coastal forts and the museum ships USS Texas, Stewart and Cavalla. This could probably also open up other parts of Texas (like Austin or San Antonio), Louisiana and maybe even other regions along the Gulf of Mexico (accessed either by shrimp boat, refurbished yacht or even by one of the previously mentioned museum ships that was recommissioned by one of the factions of the game) for DLCs.

I was waiting in the original video for Ballistic Fists to show up, it's finally time they get their due respect

Throwing a punch should be considered a ranged attack

Claws , more weapons I never knew about, that's why I watched these videos.

I once saw an improvised weapon that was a thick leather glove with a hidden .22 that can be set off with a wire attached to the thumb

oh my god

The "Love Hate" brass knuckles are actually from a Spike Lee movie called "Do the Right Thing". In that movie one of the B characters shows the main character his brass knuckles that say " Love Hate"

Bro this man literally got me back into playing some fallout 4 which I was on a 2 year hiatus. BTW love your content bro

32:06 Just a note on the "Tiger Claws," those are actually what are known as "shuko," which are Japanese climbing claws. They can be used as weapons to great effect as a secondary function, and were used as such by the shinobi / "ninja" Iga and Koga tribes of Japan. I can personally attest to the relative effectiveness of these tools for their purposes, as a climbing tool first and foremost, and a weapon as a secondary function, being particularly useful on the offhand when using any other weapon. They can be quickly donned and doffed while keeping them at the ready with the secondary arm/wrist loop, making them incredibly fluid in use and in transition to and from other tools / weapons. They feel awkward at first, and require a good amount of practice, but they're actually rather great for climbing non-vertical and some vertical surfaces (modern climbing spikes are faster and safer, but way less portable). As a weapon, they aren't exactly the equivalent of a medium sized box cutter (which itself isn't even a proper weapon :P ), but provide the spikes for puncturing, ripping, and tearing, multiple striking surfaces for smashing, and metal protecting the hand for defense against edged weapons. Again, these aren't really "weapons" nor should they be a first pick of anyone in need of such, but like anything from a screwdriver to an automobile, they can be pressed into service as a weapon in a dire circumstance and provide options beyond unarmed techniques alone.

Hey Rad King, if you were dropped into the Fallout world and offered ONE Weapon of choice What would you choose and where would you wanna be dropped? -- Bushido Cat

I had a cool idea for a power armor set for fallout4 years ago, Deathclaw power armor, special pieces made out of the bodies of Deathclaws that would give you the vague appearance of one. While you use it you can't use any weapons but I stead attack like an actual Deathclaws with swiping attacks. And to help atleast a little with distant enemies it gives you the ability to pull up a rock from the ground and throw it a distance. Maybe have a small perk that lowers the chance of agro with Deathclaws with a chance to pacify them while you are in it.

the whole "unarmed" part always gets me. holding a glove that punches cows 20 ft in the air are that's "unarmed" lmao

The cave where the Paladin Toaster is found is close by Helios One, and is inhabited by Nightkin. I think it is likely the Prospector got the weapon from Helios after the Brotherhood fled, only to be killed by Nightkin while exploring the cave.

or allowing for Drop kicks.. the most enjoyable thing to do in Dying Light.

It's fairly easy to get the deathclaw gauntlet at level 1 in fo4. No combat required. Just dodge through the museum of witchcraft, then grab the gauntlet. You don't even have to return the egg. As a bonus, you will typically have all the material you need to fully upgrade it right away and there are no skills required. Overpowered starter weapon that I grab on most of my characters.

I like the idea of an “unarmed” weapon. Using anything as a weapon, by definition, makes you armed. Even if you’re using a pencil as a weapon, you’re armed.

Seattle is my personal pick. You got the Space Needle, Pike Place, Lake Washington, and Canada relatively close by. Not to mention being by the sea, and the PNW is just gorgeous to begin with. Heavy Native American culture as well. Depending on the size of the map, you could include Mt. Rainier and the Cascades. The stark contrast between western and eastern Washington separated by the mountains could provide an interesting setting for clans or factions to develop.

I'm going to throw out a weird city: Phoenix AZ, there's not a whole lot going on around there land mass wise, but it would be cool seeing a legion centric area and it should provide for a cool bit of backstory to the faction

In New Vegas there are 4 unarmed techniques to learn, ranger Andy in Novac, Jack in red rock canyon, Veronica when you give her a dress from the ultra luxe, and lucius at the fort.

I learn new things about this game all the timw

I'd love to see someone analyze various regions and locations and their suitability for being in Fallout. I'm a little biased towards the Pacific Northwest as we've got a lot of woodlands and coastal areas, therefore a lot of wildlife that could be mutated. Cougars, spiders, ants, deer and elk, etc., plus metropolitan areas like Portland and Seattle.

Just a quick observation. At the segment covering the fists, you forgot to mention the four special unarmed moves that can be learned by the player in Fallout NV: The Khan Trick, The Scribe Counter, The pretorian assault, and the Ranger Takedown.

The deathclaw gauntlet is probably smaller than a deathclaw's hand due to the taxidermy process. Like voodoo heads.

Yes, Bathe in the Glory of Atom!

I would personally like to see New York/Long Island even tho in canon, it was one of the first city hit with the bombs, could be similar to LA and The Boneyard!
