Combat

Combat screen will appear as:

• a random encounter in the world
• scripted combat in set pieces

If you don't bring weapons that deal numeric damage (every single weapon except bolas and disruptor) you will have a button that will allow you to punch your enemy.

During combat you can:

• Use your weapons if you have supply for them
• Use fists if you don't have any other weapons
• With certain perks, the fists are actually the best weapon, because with the unarmed master perk, they deal 12 damage (with the best weapon being the plasma rifle at 12 damage), recharge the same speed as the plasma rifle, and also don't require rare energy cores to use. Only downside is you won't be able to use the fists if you are holding a weapon, so no picking up weapons on the go.
