“
Any time a Heavy kills an enemy with the K.G.B he receives five seconds of guaranteed critical hits.
— Killing Gloves of Boxing publicity blurb
 ”

The Killing Gloves of Boxing (K.G.B.) are an unlockable melee weapon for the Heavy. They are a pair of large, padded, team-colored boxing gloves.

The Killing Gloves of Boxing deal the same damage on hit as the default Fists, but have a 20% slower swing rate and thus less potential to follow up hits. When the Heavy kills an enemy with the K.G.B., however, he is guaranteed critical hits for the next 5 seconds and can kill additional enemies with the weapon to refresh the boost's duration. This boost affects other weapons, allowing the Heavy to switch to other weapons, such as the Shotgun, to deal further damage at the cost of losing boost time through the switch animation.

The Killing Gloves of Boxing are automatically given to any player who obtains 22 Heavy achievements.
