The Hot Hand is a melee weapon for the Pyro. It is a team-colored (grey for RED, dark yellow for BLU) rubber glove with two yellow bands and one grey band 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 weapon deals less damage than the default Fire Axe. Unlike other melee weapons, pressing primary fire (default key:MOUSE1) will attack twice instead of once; concurrently, the weapon's damage is split evenly between these two swings.

Taunting with the Hot Hand equipped will perform the Hadouken kill taunt.

Update history

October 20, 2017 Patch #1 (Jungle Inferno Update)

  • Added the Hot Hand to the game.

Bugs

  • The weapon's damage penalty is actually 15%, not the 20% stated in the description.
  • If the player assists a slap kill, the kill icon will not be highlighted in the kill feed like other kills and assists.
  • Taunt kills with the Hot Hand will announce "SLAP KILL!" in the second killfeed.
  • This Hot Hand's level does not show up in the backpack or loadout. This is because the item type is assigned to a text string that does not exist.
  • The glove is always RED version (grey color) in the client view.

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 has since silently fixed the page.
