The Heavy is the sturdiest but least maneuverable class. He easily soaks up damage and still poses a threat thanks to his Minigun, which can mow down anyone who dares face him head-on. The Heavy will almost always be found at the frontlines, supported by a Medic. Because his direct combat capabilities are so powerful, taking him down will require smart play or additional firepower from teammates. The Heavy's weakness lies in his size and lack of speed, which makes him an easy target for sneak attacks or ranged weapons. Additionally, less diverse loadout options limit his unpredictability; any of his weapons that provide utility usually come with heavy drawbacks in combat.

- A Lunchbox item replaces the Heavy's Shotgun, leaving him with one less weapon to attack you with.
- If a Heavy retreats from a fight, check if he's trying to eat. The distinct "nomming" sound makes him easy to track down.
- A Heavy is defenseless while eating. If no other enemies are nearby, interrupt his meal and kill him.
