The Brass Beast is a community-created primary weapon for the Heavy. It is an antique machine gun made almost entirely of brass, bearing resemblance to the original 1861 Gatling gun made by Template:W with a number of modifications.
This weapon does more damage per second than the original Minigun, at the cost of a lengthy spin up time and slower movement speed while it is both deployed and revved up. As a result, players are unable to move effectively whilst deployed, but can deal significant damage to oncoming enemies. This makes the Brass Beast particularly strong in defensive situations where a Heavy can keep the weapon spinning without having to move, however, offensive is made much more worse, taking the reduced speed of the Heavy when revved up.

- Whilst firing, the bullets will seem to originate from the right of the weapon in client view.
- In some instances, it can appear as if the gun is shooting in a different direction to where it actually is. This can be encountered when a Heavy is shooting below him whilst on a ledge.
