Show us the animations. It's a good idea.

I don't really know if this is a taunt, weapon or what. Please add more photos and even a video of what this does then I'll vote.

I really like this

+25% damage
-30% firing speed.
Builds up Adrenaline with each hit. Once full, the Alt-Fire can be used
Alt-Fire: User gets a 30% speed boost.

Very good idea!

nice job lad

What would specs be? Same as normal punching/killing gloves of boxing?

Mother of God... I've had this idea since polycount. You have no idea how happy it makes me to finally see someone do it! I also considered a sweat band, diet bar, and maybe a minigun made from a weight lifting set.
The sweat bands been done, but there is still some possibility with the other two!

on each kill, the weapon gains something like heads called a weight, each weight adds speed and damage but decreases swing rate.

This should have similar stats as the killing gloves of boxing.

i meant -10% weapon swap speed

must give it in a game

Haha, awesome :3

ха! неплохо

This is one of the best ideas i have seen in a while well done mate, Great item

This is suvch a good idea, it surprises me that Valve didn't come up with this idea for release. It fits the artstyle and character of the heavy so well, very nice job! Valve, do it!

Interesting use for them as punches. I was imagining a new taunt where you lift the weights and then you get a 10% increase to your weapon strength or punch power.

And on another note, how bout using these to taunt and get more movement speed for a few seconds? =w= heavy's bein healthy.

@Bladesrus. The fat burning is so effective, even his enemies can feel it @_@

Very fitting for the Heavy. Paddy's ideas are on the right track but that's a bit OP, just a tad. I agree with the +20% damage and the -20% firing speed, but it should be -10% weapon switch. If you think about it, they're weights so it would make sence for it to be slower. The crit thing is cool too but people might not really agree with it. (I'm torn between it being good or bad myself) In the end, Valve makes the stats :)

Paddy that is way OP god damn dude

Nice idea.

I always thought this was an obvious thing to put in his hands

AWESOME !

I approve
Possible stats:

+20% damage
On taunt: Work out to gain mini crits for 3-5 seconds
-20% firing speed
+10% weapon swap speed

altfire lets him workout and gain a thing like the hypemeter. after 2 sec 2 minicrithits after 5 sec 2 crithits. after hiting the 2 hits he is exausted for 5 sec and only do 50% dmg and 50% attackspeed
cool things

alt fire throws one of them ...

+taunt can hurt people with 100 each hit =D

I require these dumbbells in my Heavy's life.

He must powerwalk across EVERY MAP.

an On Taunt effect for this would be awesome.

I'd love for this to be released.

+Increased damage with use (like real dumbbells for working out that increase your strength)
- Limited use during a game (once again like real dumbbells, if you use them for too long you could end up hurting yourself)

Pretty good idea, thats what I could see the +/- being, but when have you ever heard of dumbbells being used as punch enhancements? You only really get two areas to hit on the opponent. I could still see this as a weapon though if it has a unique dynamic like the ones I listed.

+25% damage
+Upon taunt, gain crits for 5 seconds
-25% slower firing speed
-No random critical hits

+25 damage
-move and firing speed

@Kid of the Century
OH GOD YES.

@UnDeadDuckGuy
-20% attack speed

This need to be like a Sandvich not a weapon. Like It gives you Power for 30 seconds :D

this is pretty cool i hope they add it to the game!

STATS:
+20 more damage
+crits bonk people for 5 seconds (knockes em out)
-20% slower movement speed while their taken out

This should be an actual weapon.

Stats:

Positive sides:

Each weight can be thrown dealing heavy damage

+ 50 Life

Negative sides:

Cannot eat Sandvich, Buffolo Steak Sandvich etc.

Has to go to a re-supply to re-gain them / use an ammo kit / wait 10 seconds

40% slower firing speed
20% greater damage
increased damage with every kill

just imagine a weight coming staight at you XD

Dude that would be wricked if you could throw it

Gym Rat + Toss-Proof Towel + this = Instant set.

awesome.

Stats:
2000% slower firing speed
+100% damage bonus
+7 capture rate on wearer

or this could take the action slot, instead of being a weapon.

Stats-
does 85 per a hit
attack speed -30%
no random crits!
thrown for half of the melee damage

Valve....please...
Put this in the GAME.

@Duck, no, horrible stats.
