The Apoco-Fists are a promotional melee weapon for the Heavy. They appear as a pair of black, gold-lined, slightly glowing diamond-studded boxing gloves with a skull emblem on each middle finger. The design is similar to the gloves worn by the character Killbane from Saints Row: The Third.
This weapon functions identically to the Fists, but with an added cosmetic function: any enemies killed by a critical hit or mini-crit will be gibbed.
Taunting with the Apoco-Fists equipped will perform the Showdown kill taunt.
This item was awarded in Genuine quality to players who pre-ordered Saints Row: The Third on Steam before November 15, 2011.
