| − | The Heavy is [[ | + | The '''Heavy Weapons Guy''', more commonly known as the '''Heavy''', is a towering hulk of a man hailing from the [[w:USSR|USSR]]. He is often considered the face of the game, due to his prominent appearance on box-art, promotional materials, and loading screens. He starred in the very first [[Movies|Meet the Team]] video, and has appeared in all further movies to date. |
| − | + | The Heavy is the largest and arguably most dangerous [[Classes|class]] in ''Team Fortress 2'' - boasting the most base [[health]], combined with the devastating firepower of his trusty [[Minigun]]. This weapon can inflict huge damage at a very high rate of fire, allowing him to mow down opposing Heavies, cowards, and tiny-baby-men in mere seconds. However, as the slowest class in the game, the Heavy's low movement [[speed]] is his main weakness, making him an appealing target for [[Sniper]]s and [[Spy|Spies]]. Upon revving up or firing his Minigun, this already unimpressive speed slows to a crawl, making it even easier for enemies to damage him. As a result, the Heavy is often dependent on support from [[Medic]]s and [[Engineer]]s to keep him in the fight. Thanks to his burly stature, he also takes 50% less knockback from most damage sources - excluding [[Sentry Gun]] bullets. | |
| − | |||
| + | Aside from shredding entire teams when adequately supported, the Heavy is able to provide limited healing for himself and his comrades via his [[Sandvich]], which, when consumed, is capable of restoring him to perfect health within seconds. It can also be dropped to provide an instant, often-appreciated 50% health boost to his teammates, equal to a medium [[Health|health kit]]. However, if the Heavy is not careful, an opportunistic enemy may pick up the dropped Sandvich for a health boost of their own. | ||
| − | + | The Heavy is [[Voice actors|voiced]] by [[Gary Schwartz]]. | |

Also [https://www.teamfortress.com/images/posts/soundbytes/SCOUT_bigshavedbear.mp3 like a bear], confusing his deliberate, sleepy demeanor with gentleness will get you ripped limb from limb. Though he speaks simply and moves with an economy of energy that's often confused with napping, the Heavy isn't dumb; he's not your big friend and he generally wishes that you would just shut up before he has to make you shut up. |

— The Heavy
|
” |
The Heavy Weapons Guy, more commonly known as the Heavy, is a towering hulk of a man hailing from the USSR. He is often considered the face of the game, due to his prominent appearance on box-art, promotional materials, and loading screens. He starred in the very first Meet the Team video, and has appeared in all further movies to date.
The Heavy is the largest and arguably most dangerous class in Team Fortress 2 - boasting the most base health, combined with the devastating firepower of his trusty Minigun. This weapon can inflict huge damage at a very high rate of fire, allowing him to mow down opposing Heavies, cowards, and tiny-baby-men in mere seconds. However, as the slowest class in the game, the Heavy's low movement speed is his main weakness, making him an appealing target for Snipers and Spies. Upon revving up or firing his Minigun, this already unimpressive speed slows to a crawl, making it even easier for enemies to damage him. As a result, the Heavy is often dependent on support from Medics and Engineers to keep him in the fight. Thanks to his burly stature, he also takes 50% less knockback from most damage sources - excluding Sentry Gun bullets.
Aside from shredding entire teams when adequately supported, the Heavy is able to provide limited healing for himself and his comrades via his Sandvich, which, when consumed, is capable of restoring him to perfect health within seconds. It can also be dropped to provide an instant, often-appreciated 50% health boost to his teammates, equal to a medium health kit. However, if the Heavy is not careful, an opportunistic enemy may pick up the dropped Sandvich for a health boost of their own.
The Heavy is voiced by Gary Schwartz.

Basic strategy
- Hold MOUSE2 to keep your Minigun spinning, ready for approaching enemies.
- You're a great Medic buddy. Keep a clear line of sight to your Medic to keep the Medigun on you.
- Hit E to call for a Medic if you get hurt. Nearby Medics will be notified of your need.
- Your Minigun chews up a lot of ammo. Pick up fallen ammo boxes to refill your supply.

Bugs
- The Heavy's hands occasionally turn invisible if he dies or taunts with his melee weapon out.
- If the Heavy dies while firing the Minigun, the weapon may show a muzzle flash and make firing noises upon respawning, even though its unrevved.
- Depleting all of the ammo of any Minigun by lightly tapping the primary fire while keeping it spun-up with secondary fire allows the Heavy to appear to be firing indefinitely despite having no ammunition. Sounds play and a muzzle flash is visible, but no damage is dealt.
- If a Heavy spins up his primary and taunts while keeping the secondary fire held down, the barrel does not spin after the taunt is finished. This can be fixed by firing or unrevving.
- Depleting the ammo of any Minigun while simultaneously picking up any other Minigun makes the Heavy unable to attack or deal damage. It also causes the Heavy's animations to stop completely.
