Does it stack with your melee damage or not?

So is like 600 points added to whatever melee damage you already do or does it just override all that and do 600 damage flat out?

Haven't used it yet. I don't want to equip it on a melee build and basically lose all my damage. lol

[Red Panda]

Full 800.

It overrides it completely.

[Sgt Reed 24]

Well that's disappointing.

[TheNightSlasher]

Use it on the volus for lolz!

[Miniditka77]

I think it also gives you the 90% damage reduction of the Batarian HM as well.

If you think it's disappointing, then that means you haven't ever tried putting it on the Volus Vanguard and nut-punching all the things.

On Volus Vanguard.

You can still use your original melee with it equipped if you attempt to do a melee attack while running. The gauntlet is more comical than practical.

[Sgt Reed 24]

Yeah, I never play volus characters...

I was just hoping it stacked =/ Ah well. Thanks for the input.

[Ryncol_addict]

Use it on a melee krogan sentinel. Comical and efficient. Off host, heads will explode with every heavy melee (the running one and hatesurfing one).
Bonus : You can decapitate the abominations. And let's face it, your krogan will look badass while doing it.

But  can you not do more damage with just a krogan with maxed out melee tree?  Or does the gauntlet actually out damage that?

Only 50% for the gauntlet gear.    Still good for the volus though when it stacks with the 50% from charge and whatever you get from shield boost.

Sgt:  The krogan HM is only 700 base vs the 800 base for the gauntlet gear.  Krogan slap is faster though.  The krogan will get the same 50% DR with the gauntlet or his standard slap (or head butts for that matter).

I'm disappointed by the lack of Insane Clown Posse in this thread.

Also, a volus nut-punch a dragoon so hard the poor guy's head explodes is gorgeousness and gorgeosity.

I'm not a stats guru like other bsn members, but from what I've
experienced, I assume you deal less damage with the gauntlet equipped
compared to a classic melee krogan. Anyway, you are still able with the
right loadout (omniblade on a claymore as example) to 1 shot troopers
with heavy melee and, while enraged, do the same with elite infantry
(captain, phantom, hunter...).

The gauntlet actually give you a third kind of melee.

Yeah, you can override the Batarian Gauntlet by running and pressing the melee button to perform the character's Heavy Melee, but this doesn't apply to the Volus, Krogan Warlord, and The Awakened Collector since their Heavy Melee is special.

I don't think that's right. The Bat Gauntlet changes the base damage of the melee tree. I believe only the Batarians actually would deal reduced damage by equipping it but IDK for sure. I'll look it up and post the findings.

I don't have the 800 damage version. I just unlocked it. So, it will be better than the melee once you get it leveled up.

Oh ok... well then, think I'm gonna equip this and see what it does! 

[NuclearTech76]

So yeah the damage is base damage changed from whatever the racial heavy melee base is to 800. This is an increase to each and every race except Batarians. However the Bat gauntlet doesn't retain the kits increased damage versus specific defense types like armor for instance nor does it benefit from abilities like sabotage which make the QFI's normal heavy melee hit for more damage from what I was able to find. (someone can weigh in on that if they have a different opinion.)

It would be interesting to see if the DR stacks up to a cap.

[Shampoohorn]

Nuke: Peddro et.al. confirmed that the Gauntlet doesn't get the boost from Sabotage:TV.

[The Xym]

On a volus, does it make mooks' heads explode when you punch them in the yambag?

On Volus Vanguard.

There's nothing like punching a Cerberus trooper in the kneecap so hard his head pops off!

That's not a kneecap.
