The '''Killing Gloves of Boxing''' ('''K.G.B''') are the unlockable [[melee]] weapons for the [[Heavy]] class. They appear as large, smooth, padded boxing gloves in team colours.

These gloves deal identical damage to enemies as the [[Fists]]. When the Heavy kills an enemy with the K.G.B., however, he is guaranteed [[Critical hit]]s for the next 5 seconds, and can kill additional enemies with the weapon to lengthen the boost time. This power-up crosses over with other weapons allowing players to switch to weapons such as the [[Shotgun]] to deal further damage at the cost of losing boost time through the switch animation. The K.G.B. has a 20% slower swinging speed, which coupled with the Heavy's slow movement speed makes this tactic risky.

Any time a Heavy kills an enemy with the K.G.B he receives five seconds of guaranteed critical hits.
— Killing Gloves of Boxing publicity blurb
 ”

The Killing Gloves of Boxing (K.G.B.) are an unlockable melee weapon for the Heavy. They are a pair of large, padded, team-colored boxing gloves.

The Killing Gloves of Boxing deal the same damage on hit as the default Fists, but have a 20% slower swing rate 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.

The Killing Gloves of Boxing are automatically given to any player who obtains 22 Heavy achievements.
