“

— The Heavy heralding the apocalypse I promise you pain without end. ”

The Apoco-Fists are a promotional melee weapon for the Heavy. They appear as 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 will be gibbed.

Taunting with the Apoco-Fists equipped will perform the Showdown kill taunt. If under the effects of a critical or mini-crit boost, the Showdown taunt will also gib enemies.

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

Trivia

The design of this item is similar to the gloves worn by Killbane from Saints Row: The Third .

. The name Apoco-Fists is a play on the word "apocalypse", a secular term for the end of the world. The description references the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse, depicted in mythology as the harbingers of the Last Judgement, more specifically in Christian religion.

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.
