Hit me. I dare you!
The Heavy, daring to punch and be punched.

The Pugilist's Protector is a headwear item for the Heavy. It takes the form of a team-colored padded helmet, with Mann Co. stamped on the front and a team-colored plastic mouth-guard, similar to those worn by boxers to absorb and deflect blows to the face and mouth.

Trivia

  • This hat is also obtainable from an opened Mann Co. Supply Crate. It can be found, with some luck, within Series #2 Crates.
  • The straps are jiggleboned and move freely.
  • The term 'pugilist' is synonymous with 'fist-fighter' and is likely a reference to the Heavy's preferred melee weapons of choice: the Killing Gloves of Boxing or the Gloves of Running Urgently and, naturally, his own Fists.
  • This type of headgear is used to protect boxers from soft tissue damage (bruises, cuts, etc) during sparring and is also used in competitive amateur boxing.
  • Because it is impossible to connect parts of models to moving face positions, the Heavy's teeth will sometimes move outside the mouth guard and leave it sitting in the center of his mouth.
  • Although wearing a mouth guard, Heavy seems to have no problem ingesting his Sandvich or Dalakohs Bar
