The Heavy heralding the apocalypse

The Apoco-Fists are a promotional melee weapon for the Heavy. It is based on the gloves worn by Killbane from the video game Saints Row: The Third; a pair of black, gold-lined, slightly glowing diamond-studded boxing gloves with a skull emblem on each middle finger.

This weapon functions identically to the Fists, but with an added cosmetic function: any enemies killed by a Critical hit or Mini-Crit are gibbed.

Taunting with the Apoco-Fists equipped results in the High Noon kill taunt. If under the effects of a critical or Mini-Crit boost, the High Noon taunt also gibs enemies.

This item was awarded in Genuine quality to players who pre-ordered Saints Row: The Third on Steam before November 15, 2011.

Trivia

  • The item's name is a play on the word "apocalypse", a term for the end of the world.
  • This item is known as "The Apoca-Fist" in Saints Row: The Third.
  • Apoco-Fists crafted before the November 16, 2011 Patch do not have craft numbers.
  • Along with a few other games, Saints Row: The Third was not available for pre-order in the United Kingdom, making this item unobtainable in Genuine quality in that region.
