The '''Gloves of Running Urgently''' ('''G.R.U.''') are a  [[Weapons#heavymelee|melee weapon]] for the [[Heavy]]. They are a pair of large, padded, team-colored boxing gloves, similar in appearance to the [[Killing Gloves of Boxing]], with flame decals and orange rings around the cuffs.
  
−
While the Gloves of Running Urgently are the active weapon, the Heavy moves 30% faster - at 99.67% base movement [[speed]], a rate of 299 [[Hammer unit]]s per second. While this effect is active, the Heavy suffers a health loss of 6 health per second, indicated by a team-colored [[Particle effects#G.R.U. Skull|skull and crossbones]] appearing above him every time health is lost. Continual use of the Gloves of Running Urgently will therefore result in the Heavy's death unless he is being continually healed. The Gloves of Running Urgently's damage is half that of the [[Fists]].
+
While the Gloves of Running Urgently are the active weapon, the Heavy moves 30% faster at 99.67% of the base movement [[speed]], or 299 [[Hammer unit]]s per second (roughly 20.4 km/h or 12.7 mph). However, each time the gloves are deployed, the user's max health is instantly lowered by 20 and then further drained while the weapon is active at a rate of -10 health per second. The user's max health does not decay below 100. Holstering the weapon allows the user's max health to begin regenerating at the same rate. As this occurs, the user's current health changes in a way that keeps their health percentage constant; a Heavy at half health remains at half health no matter how this weapon modifies his max health (aside from rounding errors). The user's max [[overheal]] is also reduced when deployed, remaining at 150% of the user's current max health and 125% when using the [[Quick-Fix]].

As with the Fists and the rest of the Heavy's melee weapons, primary fire swings the left fist, secondary fire swings the right fist, and the critical hit animation is always a right-handed uppercut.

As with the [[Fists]], and most of the Heavy's other melee weapons, primary fire swings the left fist, secondary fire swings the right fist, and the Critical hit animation is always a right-handed uppercut.
  
−
The Gloves of Running Urgently's self-inflicted damage is cumulative with respect to time. For example, if a player took out the Gloves of Running Urgently for 0.5 seconds, switched to Minigun, and then switched back to the Gloves of Running Urgently, that player would take 6 damage after wielding the weapon for another 0.5 seconds. A player can minimize damage taken during travel by repeatedly jumping and only taking the Gloves of Running Urgently out while touching the ground, as velocity is not lost by losing base move speed mid-air. The heavy can also jump a little higher then usual if he jumps as soon as he takes damage from the G.R.U. While this is not as useful as some other forms of jumping, it can get the player to places that are not normally reachable.

“
Ooohhhh, run, run, I'm coming for you!
Click to listen
— The Heavy running urgently to the front-lines
”

The Gloves of Running Urgently (G.R.U.) are a melee weapon for the Heavy. They are a pair of large, padded, team-colored boxing gloves, similar in appearance to the Killing Gloves of Boxing, with flame decals and orange rings around the cuffs.

While the Gloves of Running Urgently are the active weapon, the Heavy moves 30% faster at 99.67% of the base movement speed, or 299 Hammer units per second (roughly 20.4 km/h or 12.7 mph). However, each time the gloves are deployed, the user's max health is instantly lowered by 20 and then further drained while the weapon is active at a rate of -10 health per second. The user's max health does not decay below 100. Holstering the weapon allows the user's max health to begin regenerating at the same rate. As this occurs, the user's current health changes in a way that keeps their health percentage constant; a Heavy at half health remains at half health no matter how this weapon modifies his max health (aside from rounding errors). The user's max overheal is also reduced when deployed, remaining at 150% of the user's current max health and 125% when using the Quick-Fix.

As with the Fists, and most of the Heavy's other melee weapons, primary fire swings the left fist, secondary fire swings the right fist, and the Critical hit animation is always a right-handed uppercut.

The kill icon for the G.R.U. was contributed by flutterravie.

February 29, 2016 Patch

  • [Undocumented] Updated firing sounds for the Gloves of Running Urgently.

October 20, 2017 Patch #1 (Jungle Inferno Update)

  • Changed attributes:
    • Removed 25% damage penalty.
    • Removed Marked-For-Death effect while active.
    • Added attribute: Max-health is drained while item is active (-10/sec), and regenerated while holstered. Health will regenerate only the amount drained while active - minus any damage taken during that time. Each time the gloves are deployed, the drain rate is accelerated for a brief period of time.

Unused content

  • The original set of team-colored skull particles are still in the game files, but are not used.

Trivia

  • G.R.U. is an acronym for the Glavnoye Razvedyvatel'noye Upravleniye, the foreign military intelligence directorate of the General Staff of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation (formerly the Red Army General Staff of the Soviet Union).
  • Three variants of the Gloves of Running Urgently were featured in the closed beta, the attributes of which were leaked by testers. They did not have their own texture or taunt and instead used the Killing Gloves of Boxing's model and the High Noon taunt as placeholders.
    • G.R.U. Beta 3 was identical to the weapon as it was originally implemented in the Mann-Conomy Update.
  • The Mann Co. Catalog has two instances of the Gloves of Running Urgently, one using the weapon's stats from before the Jungle Inferno Update; this version is exclusively used for Heavyweight Champ robots in Mann vs. Machine and is not accessible in-game by players.
