The Heavy heralding the apocalypse

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.

The Apoco-Fists was awarded in Genuine quality to players who pre-ordered Saints Row: The Third on Steam before November 15, 2011.

Trivia

  • The name Apoco-Fists is a play on the word "apocalypse", a secular term for the end of the world.
    • The description references the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse, depicted in mythology as the harbingers of the Last Judgement, more specifically in Christian religion.
  • This item is known as "The Apoca-Fist" in Saints Row: The Third.
