Mantis gauntlet

The mantis gauntlet is a weapon .
==Characteristics==
An unarmed weapon consisting of the severed right foreleg of a giant mantis, fitted over the wielder's forearm and reinforced with metal bars and leather straps. The wearer slots their hand into a leather glove, and grips a handle on the blade for control and stability when striking. 
It deals a moderate amount of damage per strike at a high-end attack speed. It also deals a moderate amount of critical hit damage with a 3x critical chance multiplier, the second-highest of all unarmed weapons (below the 4x of Two-Step Goodbye ). It has a low-end AP cost and a moderate caps value, but also has the lowest durability of all unarmed weapons along with the scientist glove as well as the second-highest weight along with several others. It requires a 75 Unarmed skill level and 4 Strength attribute level to use effectively.

===Comparison===
==Locations==
* Commonly used by White Legs bone-breakers starting at Level 25+ to Level 30+ in Zion Canyon.
* Outside of Honest Hearts, some merchants in the Mojave Wasteland have a rare chance to sell it starting at Level 12 or above:
** Quartermaster Bardon in the offices at Hoover Dam.
** The Great Khan armorer at the Great Khan armory near Spring Mt. Ranch State Park. (requires an Accepted reputation with the Great Khans)
** Mick at Mick & Ralph's in Freeside.
** Miguel at Miguel's Pawn Shop in Westside.
** Blake at the Crimson Caravan Company.
==Notes==
* The weapon was intended to be a crafted weapon, similar to the deathclaw gauntlet from Fallout 3. Several resources, including an item called schematics - mantis scythe point to this, though the inconsistency of the remaining resources as well as their incomplete implementation make the specifics unclear.
* The mantis gauntlet originally ignored a target's DR and DT until it was adjusted in a patch.
