The '''Heavy Weapons Guy''' is a playable class in  ''[[Team Fortress Classic]]''  and one of the main antagonist of the  ''Mann Co No More''.  He is noted for his large size and is outfitted with [[Armor (Classic)#Armor types|Heavy Armor]]. The Heavy Weapons Guy is outfitted with a [[Single-Barrel Shotgun (Classic)|Single-Barrel Shotgun]], [[Double-Barrel Shotgun (Classic)|Double-Barrel Shotgun]], and [[Assault Cannon (Classic)|Assault Cannon]]. For grenades, the Heavy Weapons Guy is equipped with two powerful [[Grenade (Classic)|grenade]] types, the [[Hand Grenade (Classic)|Hand Grenade]] and [[MIRV Grenade (Classic)|MIRV Grenade]]. However, he is the slowest class in the game. This makes him a great defensive class as he can take many hits before dying and has enough firepower to quickly inflict significant damage. Players need to be careful with their ammo, though. The Heavy Weapons Guy '''only''' uses [[Ammo (Classic)#Shells|Shells]] as ammunition and the Assault Cannon uses them all up in '''20 seconds'''.

== Basic strategy ==
* It is much easier to play offensively if you have a [[Medic (Classic)|Medic]], an [[Engineer (Classic)|Engineer]] or both with you, otherwise staying on defense might be a better choice, as offensive HWguys are frequently looked down on and the power of the other team's defense will have you dead in no time.

* Remain in closed or partially-open areas, as [[Sniper (Classic)|Snipers]] will find you an exceptionally easy target due to your very slow movement speed and size.

* Use your size to block doorways and other passages.

* Improve your longevity by partnering with Medics and [[Engineer (Classic)|Engineers]].

* Keep your Assault Cannon spinning if you aren't moving.

== Special abilities ==

== Team Fortress ==
In ''[[Team Fortress]]'', the Assault Cannon will not fire while the user is walking with its barrel spinning and it uses 7 [[Ammo (Classic)#Cells|cells]] to spin up each time firing.

== Update history ==
'''{{Patch name|1|16|2003|classic}}'''
* Fixed Heavy Weapons Guys not being able to drop their cells.

== Trivia ==
* The [[Heavy Duty Rag]] from ''Team Fortress 2'' resembles the "do-rag" worn by the new Heavy model.
* The [[War Goggles]] from ''Team Fortress 2'' were modeled after the goggles worn by the new Heavy model.
* The [[Heavy Lifter]] from ''Team Fortress 2'' seem to be very loosely based on the clothing worn by the new Heavy model.
* The [[Combat Slacks]] from ''Team Fortress 2'' are based on the armor worn by the new Heavy model.
