Natascha is an unlockable primary weapon for the Heavy. Similar in appearance to the default Minigun, this weapon boasts a jet black ammunition carrier and additional chain belt.
Each bullet fired by Natascha greatly slows hit enemies for a brief period of time, potentially stacking until the victim's speed is reduced to approximately 113 Hammer units per second, where normal walking speed is approximately 300 HU a second, or less as determined by the distance of the victim from the firing Heavy. However, the bullets are 25% weaker than those of the default Minigun and the weapon has a marginally increased spin up time.
It is best to fire the weapon at medium to close range, as the weapon's slowdown does not stack well at longer ranges due to its spread and slowdown fall-off. The slowdown can keep enemies from retreating around corners to reload or prime for retaliation damage. Agile classes such as Scouts and Medics suffer greatly against Natascha, as do enemies who rely on close range attacks such as Pyros and Spies. Disguised Spies will not be affected by slowdown from this weapon. Conversely, it is not as effective against classes who can deal sufficient damage at long range. Natascha makes a noticeably quieter yet distinct sound when spinning, making ambushes from around corners easier.
Natascha is automatically given to any player who obtains 16 Heavy achievements.
The kill icon for the Natascha was contributed by NeoDement.
