Sandvich make me strong!
The Heavy

The Buffalo Steak Sandvich is a secondary weapon for the Heavy and was released as part of the The Hibernating Bear set. It is simply a slab of (supposed) buffalo steak.

When eaten with primary fire, the weapon heals no damage to the Heavy, but bestows a multitude of buffs; move speed is increased to 311 HU/s (roughly 35% faster than the Heavy's normal walking speed), damage dealt and damage taken are delivered as Mini-Crits, and the player is restricted to using melee weapons for the duration of the buffs. The buffs last for a total of 15 seconds.

Should the player use secondary fire, the item will be thrown to the ground and functions as a pickup similar to the Sandvich, providing health upon being picked up. The primary fire effects are not applied on dropped Steaks.
