The gauntlets are one of sixteen bludgeon types used in rumbling. They can be purchased at shipyards. On subscription oceans, this bludgeon may only be used by subscribers.

The single-row sprinkle pattern has 5 groups, so it has a sprinkle pattern that is comparable to the skeleton bone. Unfortunately, the gauntlets have a strike pattern that is very horrible in comparison to the skeleton bone. Most people that choose the gauntlets don't make strike attacks (or maybe they'll make 2 strike attacks in an entire match). The horrible strike pattern does not bother these people since they plan to avoid making strikes as much as possible.

The gauntlets are the only bludgeon where the middle of the sprinkle pattern (columns 4-6) is completely different when you compare the single-row sprinkles to the multi-row sprinkles. This may sound exciting at first, but if you are playing against a player that knows how to bounce shots off of a wall, then your multi-row sprinkles aren't going to be very effective. The gauntlets are a bit more effective in boxing though, because it's much harder to bounce shots off of a wall in boxing.
