Lightning Gauntlets are a type of shock gauntlet originating from the Agri-World of Acreage.[1]

Overview

Seemingly a cross between a Shock Glove and a Power Fist, lightning gauntlets are made from the same metal alloys as the Acreage Lightning Chain. However, despite being made from the same material as the lightning chain, the difficulty of their construction makes them far more rare. The kinetic, shock effect associated with the chain is lessened however, as the gauntlets cannot be swung as fast as the lightning chain. Still, being struck by a lightning gauntlet is likely to do serious harm or even kill the victim. The inside of the gauntlets is lined with a layer of the same hides used to protect lightning chain wielders, affording a modicum of protection.[1]
