1.22.156458
The damage that unarmed fists do is unchanged in 1.22, however they have been indirectly buffed by the fact that they retain their stagger ability while it was removed from low tier bladed melee weapons and the fact that the transferToGlobalCoef for melee shock damage to the head was increased doubled (from 1 to 2). This gives the fists the ability to knock out a player without a helmet in 2 heavy attacks to the head while they are staggered.
