The Fists of Fate is an interesting Unique item that works for all classes in Diablo 4. Colloquially referred to as the Gacha Gloves, this armor piece throws all caution to the wind and submits players to the unforgiving whims of RNG to (potentially) devastating effect.

Surprisingly, a Unique item that bases its entire concept around luck isn’t as novel as some players would think. Diablo 4 already has plenty of RNG-based combat mechanics, and the Fists of Fate doubles down on all of them. Here are some tips on how to get these gloves and some recommended builds that work best with them.

Updated March 25, 2024, by Marc Santos: The Fists of Fate have remained a powerful, if not niche, Unique that works best with builds that make heavy use of the Lucky Hit mechanic. Blizzard has since buffed these gloves to provide better stats to its wearer, and Vessel of Hatred changed the loot tables for Tormented bosses as well. We’ve updated this guide to account for both changes.

As of Vessel of Hatred, the best way to get Uniques is to farm Tormented bosses on Torment I difficulty or above. Among the many bosses in Diablo 4, Fists of Fate can be target-farmed from the Beast in Ice, which players can find in the Glacial Fissure dungeon just south of Kyovashad. You’ll need 12 Distilled Fear to summon this boss — Distilled Fear can be obtained from Nightmare Dungeons, Tree of Whispers caches, World Bosses, and the Kurast Undercity. They can also be dropped by elites or sold at The Den.

A lower-level alternative to this is to farm Blind Burrows. This dungeon has a very high number of spiders inside, and these monsters have a higher chance of dropping gloves than other enemies. Farm the Nightmare version of this dungeon when possible to get an extra chance of getting the Fists of Fate after completing a run.

Keep in mind that spiders also have increased drop chances for chest pieces, foci, and 2H swords, which means the odds of getting a pair of gloves from killing them won’t be as high as many players think. On top of that, these monsters still drop other item types, so expect to do a lot of farming.

These Unique gloves are all about getting lucky. They have a chance to make any of your attacks deal massive damage, or none at all. It’s funny when it works, but when it doesn’t, it could cost you a lot of time.

With that being said, Fists of Fate work best with builds that have high attack speed or fast-hitting Core Skills like the Barbarian’s Whirlwind, the Rogue’s Rapid Fire, or the Sorcerer’s Ice Shards. By attacking quickly enough, players can take advantage of those max damage procs more often while making the 1% procs less noticeable.

Since Fists of Fate falls under the Universal Unique category, it can be used on any build by any class. However, due to its nature, it works best with fast-hitting attacks.

Consider building toward Lucky Hit Chance with extra stats for Damage vs Crowd Controlled if you’re using Fists of Fate. Having a ~52% chance on Lucky Hit to apply a random CC effect is much stronger than some players might think, and if you’re already taking advantage of conditional damage stats, Fists of Fate in Diablo 4 will help you get those big damage numbers more easily.

Having a Fists of Fate with the max 300% damage roll on its unique effect means you’ll be dealing ~150% damage on average. Since the item was updated to feature crit chance, attack speed, and bonus Lucky Hit chance, it is now much better than it was before. Still, the dependence on RNG might not be up to everyone’s taste.
