| − | + | 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 arguably | + | 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. | ||

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. |

| + | == 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 [[Reference pose|stop completely]]. | ||

The gulag was destroyed and all prisoners escaped in December of the same year. |
| − | * | + | * In the ''[https://www.teamfortress.com/bombinomicon/?p=3 Bombinomicon]'' comic, it was revealed that the Heavy works to feed his family, meaning he is still in contact with them. This is confirmed in later comics, where he is seen reuniting with his family in [[A Cold Day in Hell]]. |

| − | * | + | <!-- |
| − | + | The following are not particularly useful or interesting, but may become so if an extended "Bio" section is included in the future: | |
| − | + | * The Heavy, taking into account the historical setting of the game, appears very apathetic towards the USSR. While stereotypes and clichés often show soviets placing the USSR in very high regards, the Heavy barely makes references to it. In fact, only the [[Soldier]] seems to acknowledge his place of origin (in domination lines). In addition, the Heavy himself seems to be able to get along fine with the [[Soldier]], the [[Scout]], the [[Engineer]], and the [[Medic]], whose national backgrounds would seem to be potentially problematic. However, this may be because of his childhood in a gulag. | |
| − | + | * Though, despite the fact that his family was sent to a gulag, he himself seems to be somewhat patriotic, printing the hammer and sickle on the Iron Curtain. | |
| − | + | * In the Russian version of Meet the Heavy, the Heavy appears much more intelligent than he is in the other versions. This may suggest the Heavy is smarter than he seems, but simply doesn't speak English well. The Russian version also uses updated models for the Heavy, such as more defined ears. | |
| − | + | * Instead of most translations, "Пулеметчик" in the Russian version means simply "machinegunner". | |
| − | + | * In his [[HUD]] icon, the Heavy is not wearing his fingerless gloves because the image was originally used in the TF2 Beta and has not yet been altered. | |
| − | + | * In the beta Heavy had 4 different skins: The Beta, Trailer 2 skin, Meet the team videos and the original. | |
| − | *The Heavy | + | * In Poker Night at the Inventory, the [[Heavy]] appears to have green eyes instead of his usual blue eyes. Also, in a recent trailer for the game, the [[Heavy]] sounds significantly different from normal, even though it has been confirmed Gary Schwartz will be voicing the [[Heavy]] in the game. In addition to this, Strongbad will sometimes refer to the Heavy as "Ivan". |
| − | + | * The Heavy seems to have changed his style of dialogue after the [[Spectral Halloween Special]] update; his dialogue is now spoken with an [[w:Illeism|illeistic]] style, meaning he refers to himself in the third person as opposed to before the update where he would normally speak in the first person. | |
| − | *The Heavy | + | * The Heavy has really killed a bear with his hands as shown in the TF2 Comic: [[A Cold Day in Hell]]. |
| − | *In | + | ** In the same comic, it is revealed that the Heavy has 3 sisters: Yana, Zhanna, and Bronislava. The Heavy is also addressed as 'Misha', which is short for the Russian name Mikhail, a Russian variant of Michael. |

— 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.
