— The Heavy on higher-caliber bullets
|
” |
The Brass Beast is a community-created primary weapon for the Heavy, which he has named "Oksana".[1] It is an antique minigun made almost entirely of brass, bearing resemblance to the original 1862 Gatling gun made by Richard J. Gatling with a number of modifications.
This weapon deals 20% more damage than the default Minigun and, like Natascha, it gives the Heavy 20% damage resistance while it is spun-up and if the player's health would reach 50% or lower after being hit. However, this comes at the cost of a 50% slower spin-up time and 60% slower movement speed compared to the default Minigun while it is spun-up.

- Accuracy and damage penalties now reset when the Heavy spins down, rather than when the Heavy stops firing. This means if you stay spun-up beyond one second, and fire in bursts, damage and accuracy will remain at 100%.
December 21, 2017 Patch (Smissmas 2017)
- Added Festivized variant.
Bugs
- The attribute "-20% damage resistance when below 50% health and spun up" is incorrect, as the resistance applies if the Heavy takes enough damage to go below 50% health.
- The attribute is also incorrectly listed as -20% damage resistance when below 50% health and spun up, instead of +20%.
- The extra critical damage provided by a critical hit is not impacted by damage resistance, only the base hit.
- The extra critical damage provided by a mini crit is not impacted by damage resistance, only the base hit.
- During deployment, the sound of the weapon will pause for a brief second before resuming at a louder volume.
- Whilst firing, the bullets will seem to originate from the right of the weapon in client view.
- If secondary fire is held down at the same time as primary fire up until 1 bullet remains, if the heavy taps primary fire the muzzle flare and firing noise will continue to play. This is visible by other players and in third person.
- In some instances, it can appear as if the gun is shooting in a different direction to where it actually is. This can be encountered when a Heavy is shooting below him whilst on a ledge.
Trivia
- Oksana (Russian: Оксана) is a popular Russian girl's name of Ukrainian and ultimately Greek origin.
