 Gabe Glasses |
|
| “ | Like many students, the Heavy earned his PhD in Russian Literature with late nights of studying and paid with his eyesight. These glasses may fix it, but they won't help the wearer learn counting to 3.

The Gabe Glasses are a community-created miscellaneous item for the Heavy. They are a pair of wire-framed reading glasses similar to the ones worn by Gabe Newell.
The Gabe Glasses were contributed to the game via the Steam Workshop under the name "Honcho's Heavy Reader".
Update history
- The Gabe Glasses were added to the game.
Trivia
- The publicity blurb references one of the Heavy's lines from Poker Night at the Inventory, where he claimed to have gone to college and earned PhD in Russian Literature.

- The item originally came with a hair piece modeled off of Gabe Newell's hair.
