“

Some people think they can outsmart me - maybe... maybe. I have yet to meet one that can outsmart bullet. Click to listen — The Heavy

”

A towering hulk of a man hailing from the USSR, the Heavy, also known as Heavy Weapons Guy, is the largest and possibly most dangerous class in Team Fortress 2. Boasting the highest stamina and biggest gun, the Heavy is no pushover. His firepower is devastating, allowing him to mow down any and all opponents in seconds, be they babies, cowards, or tiny baby-men. However, he does not come without downsides— revving up or firing his Minigun brings his already-unimpressive speed down to a snail's pace, making him a very open and very large target for any opponent outside of his effective range. Despite his imposing stature, the Heavy's slow gait means he must often rely upon his teammates to lend a helping hand; with a Medic by his side and a well coordinated team controlling his flanks, he is a true force to be reckoned with. Aside from decimating entire teams, the Heavy is able to provide further support for his comrades with an oft-required health boost via his Sandvich— the tastiest Health kit in the game.

The Heavy is the face of Team Fortress 2. He appears prominently on box-art and promotional materials, stars in the very first Meet the Team video, and has appeared in all further videos to date. He also appears in Template:W as the Team Fortress 2 representative, regaling many stories and fun facts that are as of now, not canonical.

The Heavy is voiced by Gary Schwartz.

Bio

Name: Unknown Location of origin: Template:W Job: Mow Down Motto: "Shooting Good." Emblems:    Description: Like a hibernating bear, the Heavy appears to be a gentle giant. Also like a bear, confusing his deliberate, sleepy demeanor with gentleness will get you ripped limb from limb. Though he speaks simply and moves with an economy of energy that's often confused with napping, the Heavy isn't dumb; he's not your big friend and he generally wishes you'd just shut up before he has to make you shut up. In Poker Night At The Inventory Heavy mentions to have a PHD in Russian Literature, proving that he is smart.
