The Heavy heralding the apocalypse

The Apoco-Fists are a promotional melee weapon for the Heavy. They appear as a pair of black, gold-lined, diamond-studded boxing gloves with a skull emblem on each middle finger. The design is similar to the gloves worn by the character Killbane from Saints Row: The Third.

This weapon functions identically to the Fists, but if the Apoco-Fists kill an enemy with a critical hit or mini-crit, the victim will be gibbed.

Taunting with the Apoco-Fists equipped will perform the Showdown Special taunt.

This item was awarded in Genuine quality to players who pre-ordered Saints Row: The Third on Steam before November 15, 2011.
