— Fancy Vs. Nasty update description
 ”

The Fists of Steel, commonly abbreviated as the FoS, is a melee weapon for the Heavy. They appear as a pair of large robotic gauntlets that encase the Heavy's hands.

These weapons reduce damage from all sources that are not melee-based, be they hitscan or projectile, by 60%. On the downside, all melee attacks against the Heavy deliver double damage. These effects only apply when the player has the gauntlets out.

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.

Trivia

  • An unused Heavy line for unlocking a new weapon references 'Fists of Steel'.
  • The original Fists of Steel also came with a unique sound set, making the fists seem more robotic. In the game, however, they retain the same sounds as the Killing Gloves of Boxing when being equipped but the punches have a custom metallic sound.
  • The Fancy vs. Nasty Update description for the Fists of Steel refers to Template:Ws, a small gland in the brain that excretes melotonin. Melotonin affects rhythmic cycles in humans, such as sleep patterns.
