New gun is unfair to tiny baby enemies. Click to listen — The Heavy, upon receiving his giant new gun

”

The Brass Beast is a primary weapon for the Heavy and was released as part of the Hibernating Bear set. It is similar in appearance to the original British 1865 Gatling Gun. It also appears to have an attached Broadwell Drum, though mounted on the side and fed into the main gun via ammunition chain (the original Broadwell Drum was mounted above the gun, and was essentially 'gravity-operated').

Bugs

• Because of the placement of the chain and ammo drum, the Brass Beast will clip through the Heavy's left hand and right arm when taunting.
• Despite its world model being roughly the same size as the Minigun and Natascha, the view model appears smaller and lowered.
• Natasha related achievements can be unlocked using the Brass Beast.

Trivia

• The penalties of the Brass Beast are similar to that of the Heavy prior to the April 28, 2010 Patch, having both slower wind-up/down time and slower movement speed while the gun is deployed. However, the penalties are even greater in order to balance the increased damage.
