Revision 3

Overview

The Iron Fists Gauntlet is a Legendary-grade weapon in Crimson Desert with a base Attack Power of 28. Gauntlets are heavy armored fist weapons that deliver devastating close-range punches. With 28 Attack Power, this is one of the highest-damage one-handed weapons in the game, though its specialized nature means it handles very differently from conventional melee weapons.

The Iron Fists Gauntlet is a straightforward, no-nonsense fist weapon built for raw striking power. Its reinforced construction allows the wielder to deliver punishing blows without risk of injury to their own hands. The gauntlet's heavy plating adds weight behind each punch, turning every strike into a bone-shattering impact.

Stats

How to Obtain

As a Legendary-grade weapon with a price of 4,860 Silver, the Iron Fists Gauntlet is a high-tier piece of equipment. Gauntlets of this caliber are typically obtained through boss encounters, special quest rewards, or from elite merchants who stock rare combat gear. Players should look for opportunities in challenging content such as dungeons and world boss fights to acquire Legendary gauntlets.

Lore

Iron fist weapons have a long tradition in the martial cultures of Pywel. Where swords and axes extend the warrior's reach, gauntlets amplify the raw power of their bare hands. The Iron Fists Gauntlet represents this philosophy in its purest form: no embellishment, no special mechanisms, just heavy iron plates designed to turn a punch into a lethal weapon. Warriors who prefer gauntlets often train in unarmed combat disciplines that emphasize speed and precision over reach.

Combat Tips

With 28 Attack Power, the Iron Fists Gauntlet deals more raw damage per hit than the vast majority of one-handed weapons. This enormous power comes at the cost of range; gauntlets require Kliff to be in melee range of the target. Effective gauntlet play demands aggressive positioning and the willingness to stay in an enemy's face.

Gauntlets work best against enemies that can be staggered or interrupted by rapid strikes. Their fast attack animations allow players to land multiple hits in quick succession before dodging away. Against larger, slower enemies, a gauntlet build can punish recovery windows with devastating burst combos.

Consider pairing gauntlets with a shield for a balanced approach. Block incoming attacks, wait for an opening, and then unleash a flurry of punches. Alternatively, dual-wielding two gauntlets or mixing a gauntlet with a fast off-hand weapon maximizes offensive pressure at the expense of defensive options.
