Ooohhhh, run, run, I'm coming for you!
The Heavy

The Gloves of Running Urgently (G.R.U.) are a melee weapon for the Heavy. They are similar in appearance to the Killing Gloves of Boxing, but designed with flame decals and orange rings around the cuffs.

While the Gloves of Running Urgently are the active weapon, the Heavy moves 30% faster - at 99.67% base movement speed, a rate of 299 Hammer units per second (about 13 miles per hour). While this effect is active, the Heavy is vulnerable to mini-crits and will remain for 3 seconds after switching out, indicated by a skull and crossbones appearing above him, and a skull icon on the HUD. The increased speed effect does not stack with other effects, such as being hit by the Disciplinary Action or eating a Buffalo Steak Sandvich. The Gloves of Running Urgently's damage is 25% less than that of the Fists.

As with the Fists and most of the Heavy's melee weapons, primary fire swings the left fist, secondary fire swings the right fist, and the critical hit animation is always a right-handed uppercut.

The kill icon for the G.R.U. was contributed by flutterravie.
