While boxing gloves were made to cushion your well-placed uppercuts, steel fists were made to beat the snot out of your enemies' pineal glands. "What are pineal glands?", you might ask! We at Mann Co have no idea ourselves, but what we do know is that these babies are made of freaking steel!
— Fancy Vs. Nasty update description

The Fists of Steel is a melee weapon for the Heavy. They appear as a pair of large, medieval gauntlets that cover the Heavy's hands. It was originally created in the Fancy vs. Nasty Update. It was added as part of the December 17, 2010 patch.

Bugs

  • Parts of the Heavy's hands clip outside of the Fists of Steel when viewed by a player from the outside world.
  • The Fists of Steel makes the KGB's draw sound.

Trivia

  • The name Fists of Steel is most likely a reference to the Heavy's (unused) line for unlocking a new weapon
  • The original Fists of Steel also came with a unique sound set, making the fists seem more robotic. In the game, however, they retain the same sounds as the Killing Gloves of Boxing.
