Tactical Gloves

Gloves that, by their own text, steady your weapon. Nobody can craft or research them, so every pair comes from loot, and then you choose: wear or recycle.

Overview

In-game description
Military issue tactical gloves provide protection as well as weapon stabilization leading to higher accuracy when used.

A looted pair goes straight on your hands, especially if you still wear burlap or leather there. The game text promises protection plus weapon stabilization for better accuracy, which makes them the only gloves that claim to help your shooting and not just your health bar.

Crafting them is not an option. Whatever recipe with leather and sewing kits you see listed, nobody can craft or research them, so nobody plans a kit around them. Road sign gloves are the pair you learn for scrap and rebuild after every death, and leather gloves are what you wear before either.

Pros

Cons

  • Steadier aim by their own text, which no other gloves offer
  • Protection as well, by the same text
  • A spare pair recycles into a pile of sewing kits
  • Loot only, so you cannot count on having them
  • Lose them in a fight and only another crate replaces them

The second pair from a crate is a real choice. Say everyone in your group already has gloves and a military crate on the road hands you another. A green recycler gives back half the leather and five kits, enough for two road sign jackets. More often than not, that is the better deal.
