— The Heavy

” |
Fists are the default melee weapons of the Heavy. They are simply his large meaty hands curled into deadly weapons.
Dealing significant damage with less than normal speed, the Fists are suitable when an opponent is at close range and the Minigun is possibly out of ammo. Alternatively, the Fists may be used to attack enemies within melee range if the spin-up time for the Minigun is too costly. When the Heavy dies with his Fists out, he drops his Minigun which can be picked up for ammo.
By default, the primary fire key throws a left-handed punch, while the secondary fire key throws a right-handed punch; this has no effect on gameplay, as both fists have the same speed, same hitbox, and do the same damage if and when they make contact. Critical hit punches appear as a right-handed uppercut animation no matter which button was pressed.
Players that taunt with the Fists equipped will activate the special Showdown taunt kill, which is known for its sizeable range.

Previous changes
- The Fists were given a new kill icon. Previously it was that of the K.G.B
- Fixed being able to alt-fire with the fists while stunned.
- Fixed the Heavy's fists being hidden while taunting.
- Fixed the Heavy's fists not playing the critical hit animation.
Bug
- If the player is Stunned, right-clicking will still function, allowing attacks to still be made. This is likely a by-product of the code which allows a Heavy's Minigun to remain spinning while stunned.
- The colours of the Heavy's fingerless gloves are different in the world and view model. In the view model, the gloves are coloured grey, but in the world view, the gloves are a dark shade of brown.
Trivia
- The bucket icon for the Fists have RED or BLU gloves depending on what team the Heavy is on, showing that sometime in the beta the Heavy had team-colored gloves.
