Ooohhhh, run, run, I'm coming for you!
The Heavy running urgently on the battlefield

The Gloves of Running Urgently (abbreviated to G.R.U.) are a melee weapon for the Heavy. They are similar in appearance to the Killing Gloves of Boxing, but designed with flame decals and orange rings around the cuffs.

While the Gloves of Running Urgently are the active weapon, the Heavy moves 30% faster; that is, at 99.67% base movement speed, which is a rate of 299 Hammer units per second or about 13 miles per hour (20.92 kilometers per hour). 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. This health is regenerated while the weapon is holstered. Health will only recover the amount drained while the weapon was active, minus any other damage taken during that time period.

As with the Fists and most 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.

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