Comparison of the Golden Gloves to the Boxing Gloves

  • The Golden Gloves deal more fatigue damage than the Boxing Gloves (50 vs 35)
  • The Golden Gloves have a higher critical hit chance multiplier than the Boxing Gloves (2x vs 1x)
  • The Golden Gloves have higher durability than the Boxing Gloves (1245 attacks before breaking vs 995 attacks before breaking)

Tips for using the Golden Gloves

  • The Golden Gloves deal very little actual damage but deal immense Fatigue damage. Most humanoid enemies will have around 250 Fatigue HP, which means that you’ll knock out an enemy in 5 hits. A knocked-out enemy will not die, but will instead fall unconscious for 30 seconds before waking up.
    • This makes this weapon one of the best weapons to use during pacifist playthroughs, during which you don’t kill any enemies.
  • If a target doesn’t take fatigue damage (as is the case for most robots), the Golden Gloves will deal 15 regular damage instead.
