I promise you pain without end.
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.

The Apoco-Fists function identically to the Fists, but with an added cosmetic function: any enemies killed by a critical hit or mini-crit will be gibbed.

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

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

    • The description references the Template:W, depicted in Christian mythology as the harbingers of the Last Judgement.
  • This item is known as "The Apoca-Fist" in Saints Row: The Third.
