While boxing gloves were made to cushion your well-placed uppercuts, steel fists were made to beat the snot out of your enemies' pineal glands. "What are pineal glands?", you might ask! We at Mann Co have no idea ourselves, but what we do know is that these babies are made of freaking steel! — Fancy Vs. Nasty update description

”

The Fists of Steel commonly abbreviated as the F.O.S., is a melee weapon for the Heavy. They appear as a pair of large robotic gauntlets that encase the Heavy's hands.

They reduce damage from all sources that are not melee-based, be they hitscan or projectile, by 60%. On the downside, all melee attacks against the Heavy deliver double damage. These effects only apply when the player has the gauntlets out.

The weapon was originally created for the Fancy vs. Nasty Update as a replacement for the Killing Gloves of Boxing and has since been officially added to the game.

Update history

December 21, 2010 Patch

• The item was added to the Mann Co. Store, made craftable, and included in random drops.

January 7, 2011 Patch

• This weapon was given a unique kill icon.

January 10, 2011 Patch

February 14, 2011 Patch

Bugs

• In world view, parts of the Heavy's hands clip outside of the Fists of Steel. This is more noticeable during humiliation.
• In first-person view, the Heavy's left wrist clips through the Fists of Steel.
• When drawn, the weapon emits the K.G.B.'s draw sound.
• Even though many appear to be melee attacks, the damage of most taunt attacks is reduced by equipping the Fists of Steel as if they were ranged attacks. In fact, only the Decapitation, Dischord, and Fencing taunt attacks are not treated like ranged attacks in this regard, allowing a Heavy with the Fists of Steel to survive one application of most taunt attacks.
• Even though the Ullapool Caber is a melee weapon with splash damage, the weapon hits the enemy twice: once for melee damage, and second for explosion damage. It is possible to survive a critical hit if the player is using the Fists of Steel, the melee damage will be increased, but the explosion will be reduced.

Trivia

• An unused Heavy line for unlocking a new weapon references 'Fists of Steel'.
• The original Fists of Steel also came with a unique sound set, making the fists seem more robotic. In the game, however, they retain the same sounds as the Killing Gloves of Boxing when being equipped but the punches have a custom metallic sound.
• The Fancy vs. Nasty Update description for the Fists of Steel refers to Template:Ws, a small gland in the brain that excretes melotonin. Melotonin affects rhythmic cycles in humans, such as sleep patterns.
