The Heavy making a bad pun

The Warrior's Spirit is a community-made melee weapon for the Heavy. They appear as a pair of rough, brown bear paws with sharp claws that are strapped over the Heavy's fists by two team-colored bands.

When worn, the Heavy is able to deal 30% more damage with melee attacks. As a downside, the player loses 20 max health points, leaving the Heavy with only 280 health instead of the standard 300 and an overhealed maximum of 420 instead of the standard 450 (A difference of 30).

The kill icon for the Warrior's Spirit was contributed by HyenaDip.

Bugs

  • Parts of the Heavy's hands clip through the weapon in a first person and world view perspective. According to the original design of the weapon, the Heavy's fingers should be wrapped around the bands.
  • The bear claws will greatly clip into one another during the draw animation.
  • The Warrior's Spirit has the same draw and hit sounds as the Killing Gloves of Boxing.
  • The Heavy's hands sometimes disappear on death.
  • The Heavy's fists overlap with the Warrior's Spirit when using the Director's Vision taunt.

Trivia

  • Ruskeydoo, the item's creator, intended the Warrior's Spirit to use custom hand posing, which has yet to be implemented. He also submitted another version compatible with the Heavy's default Fists model.
