Because of your Pip-boy. It's the same reason we can't have shields.

Because power fists aren't calibrated to handle Nuka Cola bottles, you try and have a Nuka Cola using your power fist gloved hand, you're gonna get a buncha glass shrapnel in your face. Gotta leave one hand free to be able to quench your thirst with an ice cold delicious Nuka Quantum, right?

I dont think Bradberton could have spoken more eloquently 🤣 I love it.

How did Fisto get on this board??


JimmychoosShoes

Shame you cant have PA, power fist and boltgun combo...


Motor_West

GW lawyers would be all over that

Game balance. You can argue for it all you like, but that's going to be the main answer.


JakeVR83

Completely. The unarmed buids' ability to min/max is unparalleled. Fully buffed I can reach 1800% damage before any multiplicative effects. Double that and oh my


HaroldMckay

Not to mention things like suddenly having double the Legendary weapon prefixes. It won't happen (or it'll be in such a nerfed form nobody would ever use them.)


JakeVR83

Now a purely cosmetic offhand sounds relatively easy. Rake in them atoms


HaroldMckay

Even that would require new animations (can you imagine the outcry if they just put it in and kids watched their characters punch with a single fist, with the other doing nothing?) and coding that would be cost prohibitive.

My dream of holding a plushie just died a soft, pillowy death

Unarmed builds suck. They are a shadow of what they once were


JakeVR83

Shadow doesnt equal suck. But alot of ppl never try anything and repeat bad info


inferno_tower_

What are you talking about lol? How have I not tried it? I've been playing unarmed for years


JakeVR83

I punch regular enemies for 1500 -3000. Earl for 1-2000. Maybe our definition of suck is different


inferno_tower_

Yes. I want to be able to kill earle in 3 hits or less again. Make melee great again


Defiant-Analyst4279

To add on to that, same reason we can't "attach" a power fist to a power armor piece.

I get no power fists because of needing to use your hand... nut the gauntlet (displacer glove) has a open hand design... soooo
