— The Heavy running urgently on the battlefield

The Gloves of Running Urgently (G.R.U.) are a melee weapon for the Heavy. They are similar in appearance to the Killing Gloves of Boxing, but designed with flame decals and orange rings around the cuffs.
While the Gloves of Running Urgently are the active weapon, the Heavy moves 30% faster, making him walk at the average speed (~100%). However, the Heavy also takes guaranteed Mini-crits from enemies while doing this, and will remain "marked" for 3 seconds after holstering the weapon. This is indicated by a skull and crossbones appearing above him, and a skull icon on the HUD. The increased movement speed effect does not stack with other effects, such as being hit by the Disciplinary Action or eating a Buffalo Steak Sandvich. The additional downsides of this weapon include a 25% damage penalty and a 50% slower holster speed, compared to the default Fists.
The kill icon for the G.R.U. was contributed by flutterravie.

- Three variants of the Gloves of Running Urgently were featured in the closed beta, the attributes of which were leaked by testers. They did not have their own texture or taunt and instead used the Killing Gloves of Boxing's model and the Showdown taunt as placeholders.
- G.R.U. Beta 3 was identical to the weapon as it was originally implemented in the Mann-Conomy Update.
