 The Fists of Steel |
|
| “ | While boxing gloves were made to cushion your well-placed uppercuts, steel fists were made to beat the snot out of your enemies' pineal glands. "What are pineal glands?", you might ask! We at Mann Co have no idea ourselves, but what we do know is that these babies are made of freaking steel!
— Fists of Steel publicity blurb

The Fists of Steel, commonly abbreviated to FoS, are a community-made melee weapon for the Heavy. It is a pair of large robotic gauntlets, appropriately team-colored, that encase the Heavy's hands.
These weapons reduce damage from all sources that are not melee-based, be they hitscan or projectile, by 40%. As a downside, all melee attacks against the Heavy will deliver double damage when this weapon is active, and all weapon switches made by the player will take 20% longer.
The weapon was originally created for the Fancy vs. Nasty Update as a replacement for the Killing Gloves of Boxing and has since been officially added to the game.
