The Heavy dealing with insubordinates

The Eviction Notice is a community-created melee weapon for the Heavy. It is a pair of brass knuckles with a flat grip and spikes on the bands.

When the Eviction Notice is the active weapon, the Heavy moves 15% faster at 88% base movement speed, a rate of 265 Hammer units per second (approximately 11 m/h or 18 km/h). In addition, the Eviction Notice grants a 3 second speed boost upon hitting an enemy, similarly to the Disciplinary Action. The Heavy's speed with the Eviction Notice deployed combined with the on-hit speed boost totals at 119% movement speed, a rate of 357 Hammer units per second (approximately 15 m/h or 24 km/h).

The weapon itself has a 40% shorter attack interval than the Fists, allowing the Heavy to fire punches almost twice as fast. However, it deals 60% less damage than the default Fists, making its overall damage per second 33% lower than the Fists.

The other downside of the Eviction Notice is that the user's max health is drained by -20 when switching to it and while the weapon is active at a rate of -5 health per second. The user's max health will not decay below 100. This health is regenerated while the weapon is holstered at about +5 health per second. Health will only recover the amount drained while the weapon was active, minus any other damage taken during that time period.

Trivia

  • Eviction is the act of forcibly expelling someone from a property. The term is used as a euphemism for murder by the Mafia.
  • The Eviction Notice was originally named the Soviet Slammers; the knuckles were colored pewter rather than brass, the tips of the spikes were coated in fresh blood, and the grips had the Mann Co. logo stamped onto them.
  • Very early concept art for the Eviction Notice shows they were originally intended to be barbed wires wrapped around the Heavy's knuckles.[citation needed]
