The Heavy after using bread as gloves

The Bread Bite is a melee weapon for the Heavy. It is a small bread monster (from the short film Expiration Date) torn in half and used as impromptu boxing gloves.

This weapon functions identically to the Gloves of Running Urgently, however, while the weapon is in use, the bread monster's head looks around and growls at the player. It also snaps its jaws when the player punches, however this does not do any extra damage against enemies and is purely a cosmetic effect.
