A towering hulk of a man hailing from the USSR, the '''Heavy''', known in full as the '''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, such as the [[Sniper]]. 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, a functional [[Teleporter]], 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]] — arguably the ''tastiest'' [[Health]] kit in the game (though some may prefer the taste of [[Buffalo Steak Sandvich|steak]]). | A towering hulk of a man hailing from the USSR, the '''Heavy''', known in full as the '''Heavy Weapons Guy''', is the largest and possibly most dangerous [[class]] in ''Team Fortress 2''.

A towering hulk of a man hailing from the USSR, the Heavy, known in full as the 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, such as the Sniper. 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, a functional Teleporter, 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 — arguably the tastiest Health kit in the game (though some may prefer the taste of steak).
The Heavy is the face of Team Fortress 2. He appears prominently on box-art and promotional materials, starred in the very first Meet the Team video, and has appeared in all further videos to date.
The Heavy is voiced by Gary Schwartz.

Bugs
- If you die while still firing your primary weapon (Minigun, Iron Curtain, etc), during your death cam, the bullet effect will occasionally still be present in the middle of your screen.

Trivia

- In the Left4Dead "The Passing" comic, Louis also has the RED Heavy statue on his desk during his flashback one day after the outbreak.
- The Heavy's hands are so large, he grips the pump of his Shotgun with only his thumb and index finger, and can spin his Shotgun around his finger as a taunt. He also holds the Sandvich, Dalokohs Bar, Fishcake, and Buffalo Steak Sandvich in this fashion.
- The Heavy makes an appearance in Telltale Games' Poker Night at the Inventory; players can unlock the Iron Curtain by beating him in a special round.
