— 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.

Name:	Misha (short for Mikhail)^[1]
Location of origin:	Dzhugdzhur Mountains, Khabarovsk Krai, USSR^[2]

Description:	Like a hibernating bear, the Heavy appears to be a gentle giant. Also like a bear, confusing his deliberate, sleepy demeanor with gentleness will get you ripped limb from limb. 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 stop completely.

+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.
-A towering, ham-fisted hulk of a man hailing from the glorious USSR, the '''Heavy''' is, as his name suggests, the heaviest class in ''Team Fortress 2'', boasting the highest stamina, the biggest gun, and the slowest footspeed.  His firepower is highly impressive, allowing him to quickly mow down opposing babies, cowards and teeny-men in seconds. However, revving up and firing his [[Minigun]] brings his already-unimpressive speed to a snail's pace, making him an open (and very large) target for any enemy outside his range of fire. Though large and imposing, this makes the Heavy somewhat vulnerable on his own, but with his good friend the [[Medic]] at his back and a well coordinated team flanking him, he can become an unstoppable embodiment of destruction. The Heavy can even benefit his team in ways that don't involve bullets, fists and bullets. By periodically dropping plates of [[Sandvich]]es, he can give his teammates a delicious and much-appreciated health boost.
+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.
-The Heavy is arguably the 'face' of ''Team Fortress 2'', appearing the most prominently in box-art and promotional materials as well as starring in the very first [[Meet the Team]] video and all following ones to date.
+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.
+The Heavy is [[Voice actors|voiced]] by [[Gary Schwartz]].

+* 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]].

 == Trivia ==
-[[Image:Zoom tf2-litho.heavy.jpg|right|200px]]
+* The Heavy's [[Voice actors|voice actor]], [[Gary Schwartz]], voices the [[Demoman]] and [[MONOCULUS]] as well.
-* The Heavy is voiced by [http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0777229/ Gary Schwartz] who also voiced The [[Demoman]].
+* The songs that the Heavy may sing as part of his [[Heavy responses|response rules]] include [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4cgCDHz6G1s Mily Balakirev's 'Song of the Volga Boatmen'], [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q5UrVdvk1Ao Chopin's 'Funeral March'], and [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gqg3l3r_DRI Khachaturian's 'Sabre Dance'].
-*Despite the Heavy's constant belittlement regarding the size of his opponents and teammates alike, the [[Sniper]] is in fact slightly taller.  This is probably only true due to the strangely small size of the heavy's legs in proportion to his arms, however.
+* The Heavy is the mascot of "Heavy Gulp", a brand of drink sold in ''[[Left 4 Dead 2]]''.
-*The Heavy's hands are so large, he grips the pump of his shotgun with only his thumb and index finger, and can spin his shotgun around his finger as a taunt. He also holds the Sandvich and Dalokohs Bar in this fashion.
+* In the ''Left 4 Dead'' comic [https://www.l4d.com/comic/ "The Sacrifice"], a RED Heavy statue appears on Louis' work desk during his recollection.<ref>[https://www.l4d.com/comic/comic.php?page=25 L4D comic].</ref>
-*Also, as seen in [[Meet the Scout]], he fires his shotgun with his ring finger.
+* Just like the rest of the classes, the Heavy makes an appearance in the ''[[Saints Row: The Third]]'' in the form of a wearable head mask.
-*The [[BLU]] Heavy has been killed and/or horribly maimed in every [[Meet the Team]] video to date excluding Meet the Sandvich, alongside an equally unlucky teammate, the BLU [[Soldier]].
+* The Heavy takes a starring role as one of the four main characters in Telltale Games' ''[[Poker Night at the Inventory]]''.
-*The original design for the Heavy had a mullet hairdo.[http://features.cgsociety.org/stories/2007_11/team_fortress/engineer01.jpg]
+** Players can unlock the [[Iron Curtain]] for use in ''Team Fortress 2'' by knocking him out of a tournament in which he buys with the weapon instead of the normal $10,000.
-*The "Mullet Heavy" can still be seen in the "Soviet Union" achievement icon.
+<!--The following have been hidden until it is confirmed that the Poker Night conversations are canon
-*The Heavy's minigun fires 4 shots per 1 ammo point and it takes him 20 seconds of non-stop firing to run out of ammo, meaning that "Sasha" only fires 2400 rounds per minute and not 10000 as the Heavy claims.
+** He describes how listening to [[w:Huey Lewis|Huey Lewis]] on the battlefield helps keeps spirits up while fighting.
-*The Heavy claims that it costs 400,000 dollars to use the minigun for twelve secounds (not counting windup time). That means it costs a entire 666,660 dollars to fire untill he runs out of ammo.
+** His favorite movies are ''[[w:The Dirty Dozen|The Dirty Dozen]]'' and the first 20 minutes of ''[[w:Rocky IV|Rocky IV]]''.
-*The songs the Heavy may sing as part of his [[Heavy responses|response rules]] include [http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=4cgCDHz6G1s Mily Balakirev's 'Song of the Volga Boatmen'], [http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=Q5UrVdvk1Ao Chopin's 'Funeral March'] and [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gqg3l3r_DRI Khachaturian's 'Sabre Dance'].
+** His drink of choice is [[w:Bellini (cocktail)|peach bellini]] (a cocktail consisting of peach puree and Prosecco wine), though he says the bubbles sometimes give him a headache.
-*The emblem on the Heavy's sleeve was originally a skull and crossbones.
+** An in-game conversation suggests that the Heavy is very educated, having gone to college and receiving a PhD in Russian literature. When asked if he uses his education in his line of work, he responds with "More than you would think".-->
-*In his [[HUD]] icon, the Heavy is not wearing his fingerless gloves.
+** An image of the Heavy makes a cameo as the King of Diamonds in the "Team Fortress 2", "Poker Night" and "Poker Night Alternative" decks, respectively, as well as the King of Hearts in the "Team Fortress 2" deck.
-*The Heavy uses "Super Caliber" brand bullets.
+* The Heavy makes an appearance in ''[[Worms: Reloaded]]'' as part of one of the forts; the rest of the fort is composed of [[Dustbowl]]. A plastic mask of the Heavy also makes an appearance as one of the hats selectable for the player's worms.
-*The Heavy with the [[Sniper]] are the only two classes wearing fingerless gloves.
+* The Gunner class of ''[[Monday Night Combat]]'' has a promo item resembling the Heavy's ammo belt, named "Bavcon".
-*All the classes insults the heavy by calling him fat, obese and overweight when they are dominating him except for the [[Soldier]], Medic, and possibly the Pyro.
+** The name "Bavcon" comes from bandolier, the type of ammo belt that Heavy wears. Bacon is a running gag throughout ''Monday Night Combat.''
-*In the Russian version of Meet the Heavy, the Heavy is much more intelligent than he is in the other versions, this has led many to theorize that the Heavy is very intelligent, but doesn't come off as so because he doesn't speak good English. The Russian version also uses updated models for the Heavy, the easiest sign being that his ears are more defined than before.
+* The [[Non-player characters#BLU team (original)|first BLU team]] Heavy resembled [[w:John Henry (folklore)|John Henry]].
-*Outside of combat, the Heavy is actually quite calm, as seen in Meet the Heavy.
+* Heavy posted his first blog post on April 7, 2011 <ref name="April 7, 2011">[https://teamfortress.com/post.php?id=5244&p=1 "This is Very Good Title to Blog Post"] – TF2 Official Blog post, April 7, 2011.</ref> while Soldier was on jury duty.
-*If a Heavy is killed when he has his melee out, he will drop his minigun instead.
+* In the ''[https://www.teamfortress.com/meetthedirector/?p=7 Meet the Director]'' comic, it was revealed that Heavy sleeps in a bed next to Sasha, who is in a smaller bed.
-*While many sources seem to suggest that the Heavy treats his minigun as a significant other, in-game he seems to treat it as a child, for example, his taunt of cradling it like a baby, and in the Russian version of "meet the Heavy", he refers to Sasha as his "baby."
+** It was also [https://www.teamfortress.com/meetthedirector/?p=4 mentioned] that the Heavy's father was a "counter-revolutionary" who was executed, and that his mother, sisters, and himself were sent to a north Siberian Gulag in September 1941. The gulag was destroyed and all prisoners escaped in December of the same year.
-*The Heavy's leaderboard icon is five bullets. However, the emblem on his sleeve and the Heavy token when crafted is a fist.
+* 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]].
-*With the release of the [[Dalokohs bar]], the Heavy is the first and only class capable of directly [[Overheal|overhealing]] himself (though the additional 50 max health does not decay like an overheal, instead disappearing after 30 seconds if it has not been depleted).
+* The Heavy is a Familiar (a pet) in the game [[w:Dungeon Defenders|Dungeon Defenders]]. The three other TF2 Familiars in the same game are the [[Pyro]], [[Medic]], and [[Engineer]].
-*The Heavy is the mascot of "Heavy Gulp," a brand of drink sold in [http://left4dead.wikia.com/wiki/Left_4_Dead_2 Left 4 Dead 2].
+** The Heavy appears in the teaser trailer in ''Dungeon Defenders'', where he fights against the [[BLU]] team on the [[Gravel Pit]] and gets pulled by the hero character Huntress into a portal to the Dungeon Defenders universe.
-*The Heavy seems to be interested in American pop culture, given his reference to 1960's-70's police films in one of his Sandvich lines, as well as his [[Hound dog|Elvis inspired hairdo]] and [[Football helmet]].
+* The Heavy makes an appearance in the film ''[[w:Chef (2014 film)|Chef]]'' on a background of an iPad Mini, while wearing the [[Connoisseur's Cap]] and eating a Sandvich on Dustbowl's first stage.<ref>[https://i.imgur.com/I4kaOoe.jpg Screenshot of the iPad Mini in the background]</ref>
-*As of the Mac update the Heavy now has a blog, which is updated (in real-time) by his [[Media:Heavygun.PNG | un-named replacement for his Minigun]].
+<!--
-*The Heavy, as well as the [[Demoman]], are the only classes that wear any visible body armor.
+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.
+* 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 has really killed a bear with his hands as shown in the TF2 Comic: [[A Cold Day in Hell]].
+**  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.
