Update history
September 30, 2010 Patch (Mann-Conomy Update)
- The Pugilist's Protector was added to the game.
- Paint affects the Pugilist's Protector's color more, colors are less washed out.
- The Pugilist's Protector's painting texture was improved.
- [Undocumented] The Pugilist's Protector was added to the Mann Co. Store.
Notes
- The Pugilist's Protector is worn by Heavyweight Champ (Type 1) in Mann vs. Machine.
- Due to how the textures are set up, painting the Pugilist's Protector with single color Paint Cans results in a very slightly different colorization between teams.
Due to how the materials are set up, the textures for the Pugilist's Protector change when running TF2 below dxlevel 90
(such as dxlevel 80
). This is due Paint Cans originally not working under dxlevel 90
when they were first introduced during the Mann-Conomy Update. The Hatless Update updated the paint system to work on dxlevel 80
, removing nearly all instances of _dx8
on each item's materials, with the exception of the Pugilist's Protector. Lastly, due to how these textures are set up, painting it with single color Paint Cans results in different colorization between teams.

Trivia
- The mouth-guard is similar to those worn by boxers, also known as pugilists, to prevent damage to the mouth, teeth, and jaw, as well as to reduce the risk of concussion caused by direct blows to the head.
