“

I have new way to kill cowards. Click to listen — The Heavy while tickling someone

”

The Holiday Punch is a community-created melee weapon for the Heavy. It is a large pair of team-colored knitted mittens, featuring a decorative snowflake woven into the back.

This weapon functions similarly to the Fists except for an additional backstab-esque mechanic. The weapon will always crit from behind in an arc similar to that of the Backburner's (approximately 90 degrees). Any critical hits from this weapon, whether from behind or otherwise, will do no damage but will cause victims to burst into laughter, leaving them temporarily defenseless. Those under the effects of an ÜberCharge can be forced to laugh. Victims who also have the Holiday Punch equipped and held will always be forced to laugh when hit, regardless of the damage or angle of the hit. Mini-crits will not cause opponents to laugh. Laughing will only occur if the victim is in a position where they would normally be able to taunt. This means that critical hits do not affect disguised or cloaked Spies in any way or victims who are underwater, in the air, or already taunting.

The Holiday Punch is wielded by Heavy Mittens in Mann vs. Machine.

Taunting with the Holiday Punch equipped will perform the Showdown taunt.

The Holiday Punch was contributed to the Steam Workshop under the name "Masculine Mittens".

Unused content

• An unused texture exists in the game files for this weapon; it bears a similar design to the scrapped Officer's Ushanka style seen in the Steam Workshop file.
• This weapon has an unused kill icon.

Bugs

• Sometimes, the Holiday Punch stays in the air instead of on the Heavy's arm.
• If a player has initiated the partner taunts such as High Five!, landing a critical hit on that player from the front with the Holiday Punch will cause the Heavy and his victim to High Five.
  • The same will happen for two enemies if the players crits the enemy facing the one who initiated the partner taunts.
• This item does not glow when crit-boosted.
• The Strange variant counts tickles as times the player has hit an enemy with a crit, therefore even if the enemy is already laughing or taunting, the counter will still rise. This also means that other Heavies wearing this item that are forced to laugh by a normal punch will not increase the counter.
• During a truce, it is still possible to force enemies to laugh.

Trivia

• Holiday punch is a drink commonly made during the holiday season.
• The Holiday Punch was first teased on the first day of the Australian Christmas Update 2011, on the bottom right corner of the title image.
