Fists are the default melee weapons of the Heavy. They are simply his large meaty hands 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 wind-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 for ammo.
By default, left clicking throws a left-handed punch. Right clicking throws a right-handed punch though this is essentially the same and has no effect on gameplay. Critical hit punches appear as a right-handed uppercut animation no matter which button was pressed.
Players that taunt with the Fists equipped will activate the special Showdown taunt kill, which is known for its sizeable range.

Trivia

- The bucket icon for the Fists have RED or BLU gloves depending on what team the Heavy is on, showing that sometime in the beta the Heavy had team colored gloves.
