About this mod
Sometimes you just want to beat things to death with your bare hands. Or just knock them out.
And I don't mean your bear hands.

It's been a long road since I first conceived of this mod way back in 2013. This is the culmination of my efforts.
This final version gives you both normal and fatigue damage versions at each level, with the normal versions doing 10, 20, and 30 damage (+ skill bonus increase) at the three perk levels, while the fatigue damage version is roughly equivalent to boxing tape, boxing gloves, and the golden gloves. The perk can be purchased beginning at level 2, comes in 3 levels in total, and has a strength requirement of 4 and an unarmed requirement of 35.
It works perfectly with every trait, perk, and chem in the game, just like any other unarmed weapon. It can't be confiscated or lost. And it will never, ever, stop until everything in your way is unconscious or dead.
Now get out there and start giving the wastes a taste of the old knuckle justice, from powder gangers to deathclaws, and everything in between.
Also, because I enjoy fun, I made a "bonus" version of the mod that includes a third set of fists (third arm mutation not required!) identical to the "base" normal damage version but with a modified "Mauler" special attack to send people flying with a solid uppercut (which, given how gamebryo works, had to replace the unarmed special attacks entirely, thus my making a new weapon entirely rather than altering the base fists; you can hotkey both sets, and switch between them in combat for when you want to fight normally (which is part of why unarmed combat is so fun in NV, and I wouldn't give up my uppercuts and crosses and stomping for anything) and when you occasionally want to punch someone right out of the ring, so to speak (identical stats to the base bare fists, with the Ring Out! special VATS attack requiring Unarmed 50 to use, costing 40 AP and doing 0.75% normal damage).
Then, after additional testing, I made a version that requires Unarmed 75, using a right cross animation to deliver the Ring Out! punch, resulting in a far superior knock-back effect than the original version. Currently under files as "Hyper Ultra Edition".
Note that the "bonus" files include the full primary mod, by which I mean you get the ring-out version in addition to the normal and subdual damage fists, rather than replacing them. So if you're at all curious, you can just download either of them rather than the "main" file, not in addition to.
^All of that's still true, but after re-playing through the game, the mauler effect is a bit more than what I was going for. So I made yet ANOTHER version, this time using a reduced distance version of the same effect (the one used by Fore!, in fact), which accomplishes my aims a bit better. Namely, punching someone out of the ring through the ropes, rather than five feet over them. Everything else stays the same.
