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 just like the Fists except for an additional backstab-like mechanic. The weapon will always crit from behind in an arc similar to that of the backstab. Any hits from this weapon that strike targets in the back will do no damage but will cause victims to burst into laughter, leaving them temporarily defenseless. Critical hits given by crit-boost items like the Kritzkrieg that are not from behind will deal normal critical damage.

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

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

Update history

December 15, 2011 Patch (Australian Christmas 2011)

  • The Holiday Punch was added to the game.

Unused content

  • There is an unused style for the weapon, in the GCF, that makes the weapon share similar designs to the Officer's Ushanka.

Bugs

  • The hit sound during the draw animation will still play despite the gloves not coming in contact with each other. This is due to the weapon sharing the same draw animation as the Killing Gloves of Boxing.
  • Sometimes crits will register for damage instead of laughing.
  • Players can avoid laughing by jumping when hit with a critical hit.

Trivia

  • Holiday Punch is a drink commonly made during the holiday season.
