A towering, ham-fisted hulk of a man hailing from the glorious USSR, the Heavy, also known as Heavy Weapons Guy, is the heaviest class in Team Fortress 2, boasting the highest stamina, the biggest gun, and the slowest foot-speed. His firepower is highly impressive, allowing him to quickly mow down opposing babies, cowards and teeny-men in seconds. However, revving up and firing his Minigun brings his already-unimpressive speed to a snail's pace, making him an open (and very large) target for any enemy outside his range of fire. Though large and imposing, this makes the Heavy somewhat vulnerable on his own, but with his good friend the Medic at his back and a well coordinated team flanking him, he can become an unstoppable embodiment of destruction. The Heavy can even benefit his team in ways that don't involve Fists and bullets. By periodically dropping plates of Sandviches, he can give his teammates a delicious and much-appreciated health boost.

The Heavy is arguably the 'face' of Team Fortress 2, appearing the most prominently in box-art and promotional materials as well as starring in the very first Meet the Team video and all following ones to date.

The Heavy is voiced by Gary Schwartz.

Trivia

Zoom TF2-litho.heavy.jpg
  • Despite the Heavy's constant belittlement regarding the size of others, the Sniper stands slightly taller, because of the Heavy's slouched stance.
  • The Heavy's Minigun fires 4 shots per 1 ammo point and it takes him 20 seconds of non-stop firing to run out of ammo, meaning that "Sasha" only fires 2400 rounds per minute and not 10000 as the Heavy claims.
  • The Heavy claims that it costs 400,000 dollars to use the Minigun for twelve seconds (not counting windup time). That means it costs a entire 666,660 dollars to fire until he runs out of ammo.
  • The songs the Heavy may sing as part of his response rules include Mily Balakirev's 'Song of the Volga Boatmen', Chopin's 'Funeral March' and Khachaturian's 'Sabre Dance'.
  • The emblem on the Heavy's sleeve was originally a skull and crossbones.
  • In his HUD icon, the Heavy is not wearing his fingerless gloves because the image was originally used in the TF2 Beta and has not yet been altered.
  • The Heavy uses "Super Caliber" brand bullets.
  • The Heavy is the mascot of "Heavy Gulp," a brand of drink sold in Left 4 Dead 2.
