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 21 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. The user's max health will not decay below 100. Holstering the weapon will allow 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 will remain 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 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.

- G.R.U. Beta 3 was identical to the weapon as it was originally implemented in the Mann-Conomy Update.
