Is not fair to use gun on such a tiny man.
The Heavy

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 hits 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.

Similar to the Fists, when the Heavy dies with his Killing Gloves of Boxing out he drops his Minigun, which can be picked up for ammo. The Critical hit animation with the K.G.B is also the same as the Fists; a right handed uppercut.

Trivia

  • The K.G.B.s taunt is a homage to Mr. Sandman's warm-up technique from Punch Out!!.
  • The Critical hit effect caused when killing someone counts towards the Supreme Soviet Achievement.
  • Several custom maps have been designed around the concept of 'boxing matches', in which all players use the K.G.B. only.
  • K.G.B. was also the acronym for the Russian security agency, secret police and intelligence agency Komityet Gosudarstvennoy Bezopasnosty, which was disbanded in 1995.
  • In the gcf files, there is a scrapped weapon mechanic which was intended for the K.G.B. With it, every kill would earn the Heavy, and his surrounding allies, 50 HP regenerated and an additional 10% to their Critical hit chances. The downside being that the Heavy taunts after each and every successful K.G.B. kill.
  • As with Fists, players can still attack while stunned by right-clicking.
  • A feign-death with the Dead Ringer will not trigger the Crit-boost effect of the weapon.
