“
The Sandvich is a great tool for a Heavy defending an area, as it gives him the ability to replenish health between enemy waves without having to abandon his post.
— Sandvich publicity blurb
 ”

The Sandvich, known in full as the Sandvich Edible Device, is an unlockable secondary weapon for the Heavy. It is half of a sandwich made with two triangular slices of bread. Between the slices of bread are lettuce, tomatoes, Swiss cheese, and a few slices of both ham and bologna, as noted by the Heavy. It is topped with a green pimento-stuffed olive pinned to the Sandvich by a toothpick. The Festive version wraps the entire sandwich in team-colored wrapping paper with several Matryoshka Dolls decals styled after both the Sandvich and the playable classes, and a spring with a large, glowing yellow star where the olive would have been. On consumption, the Sandvich will show a large bite on its side.

The Sandvich can be consumed by pressing either primary fire or the taunt key. When eaten, it will gradually replenish 300 health (equal to the Heavy's maximum health) over a four second duration with no overheal. While the Heavy is eating, he makes a loud munching sound and the player is forced into the third-person view. As eating the Sandvich is considered a taunt, it cannot be consumed in instances when taunts can not be used, such as when underwater. The Sandvich will not have to recharge if the Heavy is already at maximum health, allowing it to be continuously consumed for leisure. Critical Sandviches have no additional benefits.

Players can right click to drop the Sandvich onto the floor. A dropped Sandvich appears on a rotating plate and acts as a medium Medkit that can be picked up by both allies and enemies. The Heavy cannot use his own dropped Sandvich to heal himself; picking up a dropped Sandvich will simply reset the cooldown timer. A dropped Sandvich from another Heavy, whether friend or foe, can only be used to restore health and will not reset the cooldown timer. It is not possible to have two sandviches from the same Heavy dropped on the floor at the same time, as the oldest will simply disappear as soon as the second one is thrown.

The recharge time for the Sandvich is approximately 30 seconds. The Heavy can instantly recharge the Sandvich by visiting a Resupply cabinet, picking up his own thrown Sandvich, or collecting any health pickup while at full health. The recharge timer begins as soon as the Sandvich is consumed or dropped. Should the Heavy be killed while holding the Sandvich, the ammo pack that he drops upon death will instead restore 50 health for all classes but the Scout, who will be healed for 75 health. The Sandvich weapon itself can be collected by other Heavies via weapon switching.

The Sandvich is automatically awarded to any player who obtains 10 Heavy achievements.

Trivia

  • The Sandvich was first introduced to the community in Meet the Scout, months before it was released as an in-game item.
  • The user guide for the Sandvich contains a typo. The word "Health" relating to the cheese and dairy group is misspelled as "Heatlh". This is corrected in the actual poster available through the Valve Store.
