{{Quotation|'''Natascha''' publicity blurb|Now Sasha - Don't be jealous}}
'''Natascha''' is an unlockable [[Weapons#heavyprimary|primary weapon]] for the [[Heavy]]. Similar in appearance to the [[Minigun|default Minigun]], this weapon boasts a jet black ammunition carrier and additional chain belt. 

Each bullet fired by Natascha greatly [[Slowdown|slows]] hit enemies for a brief period of time, but slows enemies down less if they are further away. In addition, the weapon, similarly to the [[Brass Beast]], grants 20% damage resistance when spun-up, but only if the player's health is below 50%. As downsides, Natascha's bullets are 25% weaker than those of the default Minigun and the weapon has a 30% increased spin-up time.

Natascha is automatically given to any player who obtains 16 [[Heavy achievements]].

The kill icon for Natascha was contributed by [http://steamcommunity.com/id/neodement NeoDement].
