The Fists are the default melee weapon of the Heavy. They are simply large, meaty hands wearing fingerless gloves and curled into deadly weapons.
Dealing significant damage with less than normal speed, the Fists are suitable when an opponent is at close range and the Minigun is possibly out of ammo. Alternatively, the Fists may be used to attack enemies within melee range if the spin-up time for the Minigun is too costly. When the Heavy dies with his Fists out, he drops his Minigun, which can be picked up by players for ammo.
By default, the primary fire key throws a left-handed punch, while the secondary fire key throws a right-handed punch; this has no effect on gameplay, as both fists have the same speed, hitbox, and damage, if and when they make contact. Critical hit punches appear as a right-handed uppercut animation no matter which button was pressed.
Taunting with the Fists equipped will perform the Showdown Special taunt.
