Revision as of 15:08, 11 July 2011

Is not fair to use gun on such a tiny man.
The Heavy

The Killing Gloves of Boxing, often abbreviated to K.G.B., are an unlockable melee weapons for the Heavy. They appear as a pair of large, padded, team-colored boxing gloves.

These gloves deal the same damage on hit as the default Fists, but have a 20% longer swing time and thus less potential to follow up hits. When the Heavy kills an enemy with the K.G.B., however, he is guaranteed critical hits for the next 5 seconds, and can kill additional enemies with the weapon to refresh the boost's duration. This boost affects other weapons, allowing the Heavy to switch to other weapons such as the Shotgun to deal further damage at the cost of losing boost time through the switch animation.

The Killing Gloves of Boxing are automatically given to any player who obtains 22 Heavy achievements.
