The Huo-Long Heater emits constant rings of fire around the player while the weapon is spun-up, with either the primary or secondary fire buttons. Its base damage is also increased by 25% against burning players, such as those lit by its own fire rings. However, this comes at the cost of 4 ammo lost per second while spun-up, and 10% less base damage compared to the [[Minigun|default Minigun]].

The burning you feel? It is shame.
Click to listen
— The Heavy to a burning Spy
 ”

The Huo-Long Heater is a community-created promotional primary weapon for the Heavy, which he has named "Sheila"[1]. It is an antique-looking, partially team-colored machine gun made of wood and metal, which features a traditional Chinese dragon's head mounted on the muzzle of the gun and a hexagonal, chest-resembling ammo drum.

The Huo-Long Heater emits constant rings of fire around the player's feet while the weapon is spun-up, with either the primary or secondary fire buttons. Its base damage and afterburn from the rings of fire are also increased by 25% against burning players as long as the weapon is the active weapon. However, this comes at the cost of 4 ammo lost per second while spun-up, and 10% less base damage compared to the default Minigun.

This item was awarded in Genuine quality to players who pre-ordered Sleeping Dogs on Steam before August 14, 2012, or August 17, 2012 in Europe.

The Huo-Long Heater was later contributed to the Steam Workshop, at Valve's request.

    • Reduced pulse damage from Ring of Fire to 12 (from 15) due to increased damage vs. burning targets.

May 4, 2017 Patch

  • [Undocumented] Updated the description of the Huo-Long Heater.

October 20, 2017 Patch #1 (Jungle Inferno Update)

  • The 1-second damage and accuracy penalty now applies to the first second of spun-up time, whether or not the Heavy is firing. Previously, the 1-second damage penalty would only be removed after 1 second of firing.
  • Accuracy and damage penalties now reset when the Heavy spins down, rather than when the Heavy stops firing. This means if you stay spun-up beyond one second, and fire in bursts, damage and accuracy will remain at 100%.

October 24, 2017 Patch

  • Fixed the afterburn duration for the Huo-Long Heater.

Bugs

  • The fire ring can damage enemies while underwater.
  • Holding secondary fire and tapping primary fire with one bullet left causes the Minigun to play the firing animation loop despite having no ammo. This is visible in third person and by other players.
  • When holding the primary fire button during a taunt, the Huo-Long Heater's muzzle flash turns invisible.

Trivia

  • "Huo-Long" (火龙, huǒlóng) means "Fire dragon" in Chinese. However, Chinese dragons are hardly depicted as fire-breathing creatures, the word "Huo-Long" would refer to a typical European dragon instead.
