'''Chekhov's Punch''' is an alternate melee weapon for the [[Heavy]] added in the [[Fight or Flight]] update. They are the Heavy's own [[Fists]], wrapped in chains. Chains appear on the Heavy's arms when the weapon is equipped, regardless of whether it is active. The user can left or right click to throw a left or right punch, but this has no effect on usage. When dealing critical damage, instead of the typical uppercut, the Heavy's fists will both come down at once and cause the enemy to violently explode | '''Chekhov's Punch''' is an alternate melee weapon for the [[Heavy]] added in the [[Fight or Flight]] update.

As a hidden attribute, Chekhov's Punch has a 65% increase in attack range compared to all other melee weapons. | ||
They are identical to the Fists in terms of damage. However, each hit on an enemy (except for invulnerable enemies and disguised [[Spy|Spies]]) stores up to 3 [[critical hits]], which are shared between all of Heavy's weapons. When the Heavy has a critical charge, his hands and weapons will glow with a crit-boost effect. In exchange, the Heavy takes critical damage from all melee hits, whether or not Chekhov's Punch is active or has any charges. In addition, it will only deal critical damage during melee attacks if the user has exactly 3 crits stored. If the Heavy has less than 3 charges, his hands will glow, but will lack the typical electric particle effect. | They are identical to the Fists in terms of damage.

* The name Chekhov's Punch comes from the term "[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chekhov%27s_gun Chekhov's Gun]", a trope where something is shown at the beginning of a story and is used at the end. This matches the theme of this weapon, as it stores crits for later. | * The name Chekhov's Punch comes from the term "[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chekhov%27s_gun Chekhov's Gun]", a trope where something is shown at the beginning of a story and is used at the end.
