| 2 | Kill 20 enemies with an unarmed attack | Unarmed attacks do 50% more damage. 50% less O2 used when using a power attack. |

Kill Fauna Barefisted to Complete the Challenge
You can complete the Boxing rank challenge by killing relatively harmless fauna from a planet with them. Fighting the local fauna saves time by not having to look for combat encounters and their relative abundancy in some planets.
To unarm yourself, unequip any weapon you may be holding from the weapons section of your inventory.
Use Aid Items to Boost Your Melee Damage
Boost your melee damage and kill enemies more quickly with damage-boosting Aid items. Some higher-tier damage-boosting items, such as Red Trench and Frostwolf, are craftable in the Pharmaceutical Lab, while most damage-boosting items can be bought from vendors.
