The '''Spiked Gauntlets''' are the [[Fighter]]'s basic weapon from [[Hexen]]. They are a pair of heavy gauntlets which are simply used to beat enemies to death, and do not require mana.  When repeatedly attacking a target, every third hit becomes a mighty blow dealing significantly more damage than a standard punch. Despite being the fighter's starting weapon, they are surprisingly effective in combat especially against monsters that do not have a projectile attack.

The Spiked Gauntlets are the first of four weapons used by Baratus the Fighter in Hexen and are available from the start of the game. They are a pair of heavy, metallic gauntlets with spikes on the knuckles used to beat down enemies at melee range. Despite being a low tier weapon, the spiked gauntlets pack quite a punch, able to kill an Ettin with three hits. Every third hit will deal double damage, and after that, or if the player hits a wall or air, the counter is reset.

The spiked gauntlets requiere no mana to work, increasing their versatility, and although they have decent attack power and attack rate, once the Timon's Axe becomes available, the player will hardly use the gauntlets ever again.

The idle frame looks very similar to that of the Gauntlets of the Necromancer in Heretic.
