The '''Brass Beast''' is a [[Steam Workshop|community-created]] [[Weapons#heavyprimary|primary weapon]] for the {{cl|Heavy}}, which he has named "'''Oksana'''".<ref>[https://www.teamfortress.com/theshowdown/#f=42 The Showdown comic page 42]</ref> It is an antique {{botignore|minigun}} made almost entirely of brass, bearing resemblance to a [[w:Gatling gun|Gatling gun]].
 +
 +
This weapon deals 20% more damage than the [[Minigun|default Minigun]] and, like [[Natascha]], it gives the Heavy 20% damage resistance while it is spun-up and if the player's health would reach 50% or lower after being hit. However, this comes at the cost of a 50% slower spin-up time and 60% slower [[Speed|movement speed]] compared to the default Minigun while it is spun-up.

— The Heavy on higher-caliber bullets
 ”

The Brass Beast is a community-created primary weapon for the Heavy, which he has named "Oksana".[1] It is an antique minigun made almost entirely of brass, bearing resemblance to a Gatling gun.

This weapon deals 20% more damage than the default Minigun and, like Natascha, it gives the Heavy 20% damage resistance while it is spun-up and if the player's health would reach 50% or lower after being hit. However, this comes at the cost of a 50% slower spin-up time and 60% slower movement speed compared to the default Minigun while it is spun-up.
