The '''Heavy Weapons Guy''' is a class in the classic Team Fortress games. He is a large man outfitted with Heavy Armor, both shotguns, two powerful grenade types and a [[Assault Cannon (Classic)|Assault Cannon]]. However, all of this comes with a price; he is the slowest class in the game. This makes him a great defending class, as he can take many hits before dying and has enough firepower to quickly inflict major damage on weak offense enemies.

The '''Heavy Weapons Guy''' is a playable [[Classes (Classic)|class]] in ''[[Team Fortress Classic]]''. He is notable for his large size, and is outfitted with [[Armor (Classic)#Armor types|Heavy Armor]], as well as 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''.

The Heavy Weapons Guy is a playable class in Team Fortress Classic. He is notable for his large size, and is outfitted with Heavy Armor, as well as a Single-Barrel Shotgun, Double-Barrel Shotgun, and Assault Cannon. For grenades, the Heavy Weapons Guy is equipped with two powerful grenade types, the Hand Grenade and 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 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, an 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 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 aren't moving.

Class Skill: Uses Assault Cannon.

Abilities: Cannot be pushed by explosions.
