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.

Previous Changes

December 22, 2010 Patch

  • The Buffalo Steak Sandvich's speed boosting effect no longer stacks on any other speed boosting effect (i.e., the effect of the Gloves of Running Urgently).

January 19, 2011 Patch

  • Added a plate model to be used when a Heavy throws the Buffalo Steak Sandvich to heal teammates. Previously, a Sandvich on a plate dropped when the Steak was thrown.

Bugs

  • It's possible to get the achievement "Retire the Runner" by killing a Heavy under the effects of the Buffalo Steak Sandvich, possibly due to the Steak having the same effects as the Crit-a-Cola.
  • The remarks that the Heavy makes after consuming a Buffalo Steak Sandvich are identical to those after consuming a Sandvich.
  • Despite the Buffalo Steak Sandvich not healing any health, using it while having anything less than full health will cause the 30 second cooldown to be triggered due to shared coding with the regular Sandvich. As no such cooldown will occur when used at full health, it is recommended that one consumes the Buffalo Steak Sandvich only while at full health so that it may consumed immediately again on expiration of the effect without the additional 10 second wait.

Trivia

  • The Peyote Cactus was originally intended to go with the Hibernating Bear set instead of the Buffalo Steak Sandvich. However, play-testers thought that people might find a man in a Native American Head Dress eating Template:W and going on a rage killing spree offensive. The Steak was therefore created as a quick replacement. [1]
