 The Hot Hand |
|
The Hot Hand is a melee weapon for the Pyro. It is a grey rubber glove with two parallel yellow bands on the wrist and soot-darkened fingertips.
Upon hitting an enemy with this weapon, the player gains a speed boost and the hit is announced in the kill feed similar to the Holy Mackerel and the Unarmed Combat in showing a SLAP KILL!, FISH KILL! and ARM KILL! during a successful kill respectively. However, the Hot Hand has a 20% damage penalty and a speed boost upon hit which neither the Holy Mackerel nor the Unarmed Combat feature.
Taunting with the Hot Hand equipped will perform the Hadouken kill taunt.
This weapon was revealed on October 18th, 2017, as part of Day 3 of the Jungle Inferno Update alongside the Dragon's Fury, the Thermal Thruster, the Gas Passer, and the Second Banana.

Update history
October 20, 2017 Patch #1 (Jungle Inferno Update)
- Added the Hot Hand to the game.
Bugs
- If the player assists a slap kill, the kill icon will not be highlighted in the kill feed like other kills and assists.
Trivia
- The Hot Hand was called the Slap Attack on the Jungle Inferno Day 4 Update page, likely referencing an old name considered during development but later scrapped in favor of its current one. Valve silently fixed the page.
