The Sandvich (in full, the Sandvich Edible Device) is an unlockable secondary weapon for the Heavy. It consists of two triangular slices of bread containing lettuce, tomatoes, Swiss cheese and an indeterminate meat referred to as both ham and bologna by The Heavy. Topping it is an olive through a toothpick.
The Sandvich can be consumed by pressing the correct bound keys for either primary fire or taunting. Using the taunt button will allow the player to bypass the .67 second delay when switching weapons. When eaten, it will replenish 100% health (300 HP) over a four second duration. During this time, the player will be forced into third person as the Heavy becomes completely immobile and emits loud munching noises. The healing given by the Sandvich does not extinguish fire, but will extinguish fire when you use alt-fire and pick up the Sandvich. As of a recent update, Heavies are only allowed to constantly eat a Sandvich without a cooldown if they have full health. If any damage was sustained before eating the Sandvich, the cooldown timer will take effect. As eating the Sandvich is considered a taunt, it cannot be consumed whilst underwater. When eaten, critical Sandviches deliver no additional benefits.
A generous Heavy can use the alternate fire to drop the Sandvich ahead of him for teammates to pick up, healing the collector 50% of his maximum health. The dropped Sandvich will only last a total of 30 seconds.
The recharge time for the Sandvich is about 30 seconds, unless one is collected from a Resupply cabinet or a Medikit while at full health. Should the Heavy be killed whilst holding the Sandvich, it will be dropped as a collectible for 50 health (75 for a Scout).

Trivia
