The Killing Gloves of Boxing (K.G.B.) are unlockable melee weapons for the Heavy. They appear as large, smooth, padded boxing gloves in team colours.
These gloves deal the same damage on hit as the Fists, but have a 20% longer swing time and thus less potential to follow up hits. When the Heavy kills an enemy with the K.G.B., however, he is guaranteed Critical hits for the next 5 seconds, and can kill additional enemies with the weapon to refresh the boost's duration. This boost affects other weapons, allowing the Heavy to switch to other weapons such as the Shotgun to deal further damage at the cost of losing boost time through the switch animation.
