Heavy Robots appear in Mann vs. Machine as enemies.

Normal Variants

Heavy

Icon	Name	Primary	Attributes
	Heavyweapons	Minigun	—

The basic Heavy Robot, manufactured by Gray Mann. These robots are similar to the normal Heavy: big, tough, and pack a punch. The regular Heavy wields a Minigun, ripping anyone who dares to come too close to shreds. The Heavy robot often comes in small to medium sized waves, often accompanying other robots as support. They appear to have a delayed sense of enemy tracking, meaning that they will find it hard to hit a player dodging at close range.

Heavy Shotgun

Icon	Name	Secondary	Attributes
	Heavy Shotgun	Shotgun	+90% faster reload  +200% more pellets per shot  -67% damage dealt  -150% slower firing speed

This version of the Heavy robot wields a Shotgun and is seen in Mannhattan's advanced missions.

Heavyweight Champ

Icon	Name	Melee	Hat	Attributes
	Heavyweight Champ (Type 1)	Killing Gloves of Boxing	Pugilist's Protector	—

Icon	Name	Melee	Attributes
	Heavyweight Champ (Type 2)	Gloves of Running Urgently	—

The Heavyweight Champ is a pure melee variant of the Heavy robot, wearing the Pugilist's Protector. Although restricted to melee range, these robots often come in gigantic numbers. The Heavyweight Champ comes in two different types. The first type will wield the Killing Gloves of Boxing. These types are aggressive and, if not carrying the bomb, will seek out nearby players to punch and kill, gaining a crit-boost from their K.G.B. upon killing a player. The second variant wields the Gloves of Running Urgently, allowing them to move faster but receive Mini-Crits; these robots will often ignore players entirely and make a beeline for the bomb instead.

Steel Gauntlet

Icon	Name	Melee	Attributes
	Steel Gauntlet	Fists of Steel	50% larger in size  900 HP

The Steel Gauntlet is similar to the Heavyweight Champ in the fact that it is a pure melee variant; however, the Steel Gauntlet can take an incredible amount of damage from ranged weapons due to its Fists of Steel and increased HP. They often appear in large waves and are sometimes assisted by other types of robots. The Steel Gauntlet often does not pose a threat to the players directly but instead by being a potent and resilient bomb carrier. Using melee weapons can make short work of Steel Gauntlets as they take double damage from melee sources, though the player will have to be very careful not to let the robots mob them.

Steel Gauntlet Pusher

Icon	Name	Melee	Hat	Attributes
	Steel Gauntlet Pusher	Fists of Steel	Carl	50% larger in size  900 HP  Deals knockback upon hitting an enemy  +50% damage bonus

The Steel Gauntlet Pusher is a Steel Gauntlet that deals more damage it also possesses the ability to deal knockback against players upon a successful hit. Because of this, hitting it with a melee weapon becomes a much harder task. Otherwise, they are identical.

Heavy Mittens

Icon	Name	Melee	Attributes
	Heavy Mittens	Holiday Punch	100% crit chance  +30% faster move speed  60 HP

The Heavy Mittens is another pure melee variant which possess increased speed and wields a permanent crit-boosted Holiday Punch. Spawning in small groups, they are unable to deal any damage, however any hit from them will force players to stand still and laugh, making them easier targets for other robots. They have been known to "Mob" players by ganging up on them, or to hang around a single laughing player and stun lock him. As such, it is advised to get rid of them before they get in melee range. Having only 20% of a typical Heavy robot's HP, they are fairly easy to destroy.

Deflector Heavy

Icon	Name	Primary	Hat	Attributes
	Deflector Heavy	Deflector	U-clank-a	Can shoot down projectiles

The Deflector Heavy functions similarly to the regular Heavy robot, with the added benefit of being able to shoot down incoming projectiles that are in flight. It is discernible from the regular Heavy robot by its U-clank-a and green tracer firing effect rather than the usual yellow/orange.

Giant Variants

Giant Heavy

Icon	Name	Primary	Attributes
	Giant Heavy	Minigun	5000 HP  +70% knockback resistance  +50% damage bonus  -50% move speed  Cannot see past 1200 units

The giant Heavy is a giant version of the regular Heavy. It wields an overclocked Minigun that can do 50% more damage. The Giant Heavy acts largely the same as the regular Heavy robot and is often accompanied by various Medic Robots.

Giant Heavy Shotgun

Icon	Name	Secondary	Attributes
	Giant Shotgun Heavy	Shotgun	5000 HP  +70% knockback resistance  +90% faster reload  Can shoot down projectiles  +900% more pellets per shot  -50% damage dealt  -150% slower firing speed  -30% move speed  Cannot see past 1200 units

Similar to its smaller counterpart, it wields a Shotgun and has the exact same bonuses and weaknesses as the regular Shotgun Heavy.

Giant Deflector Heavy

Icon	Name	Primary	Hat	Attributes
	Giant Deflector Heavy	Deflector	U-clank-a	5000 HP  +70% knockback resistance  +50% damage bonus  Can shoot down projectiles  -50% move speed  Cannot see past 1200 units

The Giant Deflector Heavy has all of the added benefits and negatives of the Giant Heavy, as well as the ability of its smaller counterpart to shoot down incoming projectiles. Like the Deflector Heavy, it can be identified by its U-clank-a and green tracer firing effect.

Giant Heater Heavy (Type 1)

Icon	Name	Primary	Attributes
	Heavyweapons	Huo-Long Heater	5000 HP  +70% knockback resistance  -50% move speed

While lacking the regular Giant Heavy's high-powered Minigun, this robot has no maximum sight distance and is impossible to approach without bursting into flames.

Giant Heater Heavy (Type 2)

Icon	Name	Primary	Attributes
	Heavyweapons	Huo-Long Heater	5000 HP  +70% knockback resistance  +20% damage  -50% move speed

This variant of the Giant Heater Heavy has the same stats as the one mentioned before, except it deals 20% more damage, making it more versatile than the previous type. It is impossible to tell if a Giant Heater Heavy possesses the damage buff or not, as both of them have the same name, same icon, and same looks.

Captain Punch

Icon	Name	Melee	Hat	Attributes
	Captain Punch	Fists of Steel	War Head	1.9x larger in size  60,000 HP  +70% knockback resistance  Extra +90% vertical airblast resistance  5.0x damage dealt  +40% faster firing speed  Regenerates 250 HP per second  Provides 90% less rage  -60% move speed

This Heavy has an extremely large health pool, combined with regeneration and innate ranged damage resistance from the Fists of Steel means it will take a lot of firepower to destroy it. It will kill any class in one hit, forcing the player to stay a fair distance away.

Giant Heal-on-Kill Heavy

Icon	Name	Primary	Hat	Attributes
	Giant Heal-on-Kill Heavy (Type 1)	Deflector	Tungsten Toque	1.8x larger in size  70000 HP  +20% damage bonus  +8000 health restored on kill  Can shoot down projectiles  +70% knockback resistance  Extra +90% vertical airblast resistance  Provides 10% less rage  Cannot see past 1600 units  -60% move speed

Icon	Name	Primary	Attributes
	Giant Heal-on-Kill Heavy (Type 2)	Deflector	5000 HP  +20% damage bonus  +70% knockback resistance  +5000 health restored on kill  Can shoot down projectiles  -65% move speed  Cannot see past 1200 units

These robots share the same projectile destruction property as Deflector Heavy robots, with the added ability to restore a large percentage of their health upon any successful kill. This makes them an extremely deadly force to deal with, though fortunately, their Minigun deals less damage than that of other giant Heavy variants.
