Heavy Weapons Guy (Classic)

Heavy Weapons Guy (Classic)
Basic Information
Type:	Defensive
Health:	100 (150 when overhealed by a Medic)
Armor:	300
Armor type:	Heavy
Speed:	Very Slow

The Heavy Weapons Guy is a playable class in Team Fortress Classic. He is a large man outfitted with Heavy Armor, two shotguns, two powerful grenade types and an Assault Cannon. However all of this comes with a price; 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.

Basic Strategy

• Go on the offense if you have a Medic with you, otherwise stay on defense.

• Remain in closed or partially-open areas, as 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 Engineers.

• Keep your Assault Cannon spinning if you are lying in ambush.

Special Abilities

Class Skill: Uses Minigun.

Abilities:

• Isn't pushed by explosions.
