Fingerless Gloves - Scrap Metal are a pair of fingerless gloves with steel plates welded and riveted onto them. They are protective gear worn in the Hands slot. They give strong hand armour to a survivor with a welding torch.
Their main strength is protection. They stop most bites and scratches on the hands. Their main costs are a little discomfort and a very short working life.
The gloves are made with the Make Scrap Metal Gloves recipe. It calls for Welding at level 4 and Tailoring at level 1. The Tailor is the best occupation for accessories. It starts with the most Tailoring skill.
Wearing
The plates stop about seven bites in ten and four scratches in five on the hands. They also turn about one bullet in twenty. Plain Fingerless Gloves stop only one scratch in seven, so the upgrade is a big one.
Fingerless Gloves - Metal give the same bite and scratch guard. The forged pair stops twice as many bullets and lasts a little longer. Bone Fingerless Gloves also match on bites and scratches.
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 few hits, so they need replacing often.
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 scrap metal gloves do not tear. Researching them with Research Craft teaches Forge Fingerless Metal Gloves, the recipe for the forged version.
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.
The Research Craft option in the inventory menu studies the Fingerless Gloves - Scrap Metal and teaches the recipes below.
