Trivia
- G.R.U. is also the acronym for the Glavnoye Razvedyvatel'noye Upravleniye, the foreign military intelligence directorate of the General Staff of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation, (formerly the Red Army General Staff of the Soviet Union). GRU is actually an English transliteration of the Russian acronym ГРУ, which stands for "Главное Разведывательное Управление", meaning Main Intelligence Directorate. The GRU is Russia's largest foreign intelligence bureau, deploying 6 times as many agents as the SVR (The K.G.B.'s intelligence successor) and commanded as many as 25,000 'Spetznaz' Special Forces Units in 1997.

- The G.R.U. (Gloves of Running Urgently) were featured in the closed beta, the attributes of which were leaked by testers. The G.R.U. did not have their own unique taunt, model, or texture and instead used the K.G.B. model and Showdown taunt as placeholders. The first version of the G.R.U. increased the movement speed of the Heavy, but reduced the damage done by 50% and decreased max health by 100. These effects only took place while the weapon was active. A 'Beta 2' version exists, where the Heavy receives less health from healing sources rather than a loss of max health. A 'Beta 3' version replaces the max health loss with a 6 health drain per second while the weapon is active.
