Fingerless Gloves - Metal are a pair of fingerless gloves fitted with forged steel plates. They are protective gear worn in the Hands slot. They are among the best hand armour a survivor can make.
Their main strength is protection. They stop most bites and scratches on the hands, and even turn the odd bullet. Their main costs are a little discomfort and a short working life before repairs are needed.
The gloves are made at a forge from a pair of fingerless or leather gloves and a small steel sheet. The recipe calls for Blacksmithing at level 6 and Tailoring at level 3. The Tailor is the best occupation for accessories. It starts with the most Tailoring skill.
Wearing
The steel plates stop about seven bites in ten and four scratches in five on the hands. They also stop about one bullet in ten. Plain Fingerless Gloves stop only one scratch in seven, so the upgrade is a big one.
Fingerless Gloves - Scrap Metal and Bone Fingerless Gloves give the same bite and scratch guard. The scrap metal pair stops half as many bullets and wears out a little faster. The bone pair is made with a knife and an awl instead of a forge.
Warmth stays the same as plain fingerless gloves, which is only slight. The gloves add a little discomfort while worn. They wear down after only a handful of hits.
They take the Hands slot, so no other gloves can go on with them. Pieces on the left or right arm or hand also clash with them, and so does a full suit with a hood.
Tailoring
The metal gloves do not tear. Once worn out, they can be smelted at an Advanced Furnace. Smelt Steel From Small Steel Item turns them into a Steel Chunk. Smelt Small Steel Item turns them into a crucible of steel.
