This article is about the Fists themselves. For other uses of the name, see Glove.
Why waste bullet on such a teeny man?
The Heavy on hand-to-hand combat

The Fists are the default melee weapon of the Heavy. They are simply large, meaty hands wearing fingerless gloves and curled into deadly weapons.

By default, the primary fire key throws a left-handed punch, while the secondary fire key throws a right-handed punch; this has no effect on gameplay, as both fists have the same speed, hitbox, and damage, if and when they make contact. Critical hit punches appear as a right-handed uppercut animation no matter which button was pressed.

Taunting with the Fists equipped will perform the Showdown kill taunt.
