— The Heavy on battlefield strategy

” |
A towering, huge-fisted hulk of a man hailing from the glorious USSR (which still exists in Team Fortress 2's time period), the Heavy, also known as Heavy Weapons Guy, is the heaviest (literally) class in Team Fortress 2, boasting the highest stamina, the biggest gun, and the slowest footspeed. 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.

- Hold MOUSE2 to keep your Minigun spinning, ready for approaching enemies.
- You're a great Medic buddy. Keep a clear line of sight to your Medic to keep the Medigun on you.
- Hit E to call for a Medic if you get hurt. Nearby Medics will be notified of your need.
- Your Minigun chews up a lot of ammo. Pick up fallen weapons to refill your supply.

Trivia
- 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 (out of 200) and it takes him 20 seconds of non-stop firing to run out of ammo, meaning that "Sasha" only fires 2,400 rounds per minute rather than 10,000 rounds per minute, as the Heavy claims in the Meet the Heavy trailer.
- 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', Khachaturian's 'Sabre Dance' and John Williams' 'Imperial March'.
- The emblem on the Heavy's sleeve was originally a skull and crossbones. This is still visible in Meet the Heavy.
- The Heavy is the mascot of "Heavy Gulp," a brand of drink sold in Left 4 Dead 2.
- Apparently, the Heavy hails from the Russian federal subject of Murmansk Oblast (what a cool name). His Nordic origins would explain his tremendous height, girth and temper (but don't say that in front of him).
