The Hot Hand is a melee weapon for the Pyro. It is a grey rubber glove with two parallel yellow bands on the wrist and soot-darkened fingertips.

Upon hitting an enemy with this weapon, the player gains a speed boost and the hit is announced in the kill feed similar to the Holy Mackerel and the Unarmed Combat in showing a SLAP KILL!, FISH KILL! and ARM KILL! during a successful kill respectively. However, the Hot Hand has a 20% damage penalty and a speed boost upon hit which neither the Holy Mackerel nor the Unarmed Combat features.

This weapon was revealed on October 18th, 2017, as part of Day 3 of the Jungle Inferno Update alongside the Dragon's Fury, the Thermal Thruster, the Gas Passer, and the Second Banana.

Trivia

  • The Hot Hand was called the Slap Attack on the Jungle Inferno Day 4 Update page, likely referencing an old name considered during development but later scrapped in favor of its current one. Valve silently fixed the page.
