The Brass Beast is a community-created primary weapon for the Heavy. It is an antique mini-gun made almost entirely of brass, bearing resemblance to the original 1861 Gatling gun made by Template:W with a number of modifications.

This weapon does more damage per second than the original Minigun and gives the Heavy damage resistance while revved up, at the cost of a lengthy spin up time and slower movement speed while it is both deployed and revved up. As a result, players are unable to move effectively whilst deployed, but can deal significant damage to oncoming enemies and tank more incoming damage. This makes the Brass Beast particularly strong in defensive situations where a Heavy can keep the weapon spinning without having to move.
