All will fear my giant new gun.
The Heavy on Natascha

Natascha is an unlockable primary weapon for the Heavy. Similar in appearance to the default Minigun, this weapon boasts a jet black ammunition carrier and additional chain belt.

Each bullet fired by Natascha slows hit enemies by a small amount, potentially stacking until the victim's speed is reduced to approximately 113 Hammer units per second (normal walking speed is approximately 300 HU a second). However, the bullets are 25% weaker than those of the default Minigun. Enemies hit by Natascha are therefore forced to stand and fight the player, whilst the Heavy will take longer to finish them off.

It is best to fire the weapon at medium to close range, as the weapon's slowdown does not stack well at longer ranges due to its spread. The slowdown can keep enemies from retreating around corners to reload or prime for retaliation damage. Agile classes such as Scouts and Medics suffer greatly against Natascha, as do enemies who rely on close range attacks such as Pyros and Spies. Conversely, it not as effective against classes who can deal sufficient damage at long range. Natascha makes a noticeably quieter (yet distinct) sound when spinning, making ambushes from around corners easier.

Previous Changes

January 28, 2009 Patch

  • Fixed Natascha not getting the proper 75% of damage and slightly increased the strength of Natascha's slowdown

Known Bugs

  • Currently all Miniguns will allow you to walk at regular speed while spun up if you change your loadout while spun up in the respawn room as long as you remain spun up (This may be due to the mechanic that causes you to respawn after changing your loadout)

Trivia

  • Natascha is referred to as both the Minifun and Ludmila within the game files.
  • The ammo belt is on the right on the world model, but on the left on the view model. This is probably because it was difficult for the player to recognize which Minigun they were using.
  • Bullets fired by Natascha that hit an opponent will prematurely end any taunt that they were performing, including the use of lunch-box items.
