{{Quotation|'''The Heavy''' on Natascha|All will fear my giant new gun.|sound=Heavy_specialweapon04_All_will_fear_my_giant_new_gun.wav}}
 
  
'''Natascha''' is an unlockable [[primary]] weapon for the [[Heavy]]. Similar in appearance to the default [[Minigun]], this weapon boasts a jet black ammunition carrier and additional chain belt.
+
{{Quotation|'''Natascha''' publicity blurb|Now Sasha - Don't be jealous}}
  
Each bullet fired by Natascha slows hit enemies by a small amount, potentially stacking until the victim's speed is reduced to approximately 113 Hammer Units per second (normal walking speed is approximately 300 HU a second). Unfortunately, the bullets are 25% weaker than those of the default Minigun. Enemies hit by Natascha are therefore forced to stand and fight the player, whilst the Heavy will take longer to finish them off.  
+
The '''Natascha''' is an unlockable [[Weapons#heavyprimary|primary weapon]] for the [[Heavy]]. Similar in appearance to the default [[Minigun]], the weapon's ammunition carrier is colored jet black instead, and from it emerges an additional chain belt, layered on the right of the gun, that feeds into the barrel.
  
It is best to fire the weapon at medium to close range, as the weapon's slowdown does not stack well at longer ranges due to its spread. The slowdown can keep enemies from retreating around corners to reload or prime for retaliation damage. Agile classes such as [[Scout]]s and [[Medic]]s suffer greatly against Natascha, as do enemies who rely on close range attacks such as [[Pyro]]s and [[Spy|Spies]]. Conversely, it not as effective against classes who can deal sufficient damage at long range. Natascha makes a noticeably quieter (yet distinct) sound when spinning, allowing ambushes from around corners easier.
+
Each bullet fired by the Natascha [[Slowdown|slows]] any enemy hit to a speed of 113 [[Hammer unit]]s per second (roughly 7.75 km/h or 4.81 mph) for a brief period of time, unless they are being actively healed by a source of continuous healing (for example, a [[Medic]]'s Medi Gun, the [[Medicating Melody|Amputator's taunt]], or a [[Dispenser]]); the speed penalty inflicted by each bullet decreases the further away a target moves. When spun-up, the weapon grants 20% damage resistance if the player's health falls below 50% of base health upon being hit. However, the Natascha has a 30% longer spin-up time, and fires bullets that deal 25% less damage than those of the default Minigun.

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

Now Sasha - Don't be jealous
Natascha publicity blurb

The Natascha is an unlockable primary weapon for the Heavy. Similar in appearance to the default Minigun, the weapon's ammunition carrier is colored jet black instead, and from it emerges an additional chain belt, layered on the right of the gun, that feeds into the barrel.

Each bullet fired by the Natascha slows any enemy hit to a speed of 113 Hammer units per second (roughly 7.75 km/h or 4.81 mph) for a brief period of time, unless they are being actively healed by a source of continuous healing (for example, a Medic's Medi Gun, the Amputator's taunt, or a Dispenser); the speed penalty inflicted by each bullet decreases the further away a target moves. When spun-up, the weapon grants 20% damage resistance if the player's health falls below 50% of base health upon being hit. However, the Natascha has a 30% longer spin-up time, and fires bullets that deal 25% less damage than those of the default Minigun.

The Natascha is automatically awarded to any player who obtains 16 Heavy achievements.

The kill icon for the Natascha was contributed by NeoDement.
