“

Some people think they can outsmart me. ... I've yet to meet one that can outsmart bullet. Click to listen — The Heavy on battlefield strategy

”

A towering, ham-fisted hulk of a man hailing from the glorious USSR, the Heavy is, as his name suggests, the heaviest class in Team Fortress 2, boasting the highest stamina, the biggest gun, and the slowest footspeed. His firepower is highly impressive, allowing him to quickly mow down opposing babies, cowards and teeny-men in seconds. However, revving up and firing his Minigun brings his already-unimpressive speed to a snail's pace, making him an open (and very large) target for any enemy outside his range of fire. Though large and imposing, this makes the Heavy somewhat vulnerable on his own, but with his good friend the Medic at his back and a well coordinated team flanking him, he can become an unstoppable embodiment of destruction. The Heavy can even benefit his team in ways that don't involve bullets, fists and bullets. By periodically dropping plates of Sandviches, he can give his teammates a delicious and much-appreciated health boost.

The Heavy is arguably the 'face' of Team Fortress 2, appearing the most prominently in box-art and promotional materials as well as starring in the very first Meet the Team video and all following ones to date.

Bio

Name: Heavy Weapon Guy Location of origin: Russia, Soviet Union Job: Mow Down Motto: "Shooting Good" Emblems:    Description: Like a hibernating bear, the Heavy appears to be a gentle giant. Also like a bear, confusing his deliberate, sleepy demeanor with gentleness will get you ripped limb from limb. Though he speaks simply and moves with an economy of energy that's often confused with napping, the Heavy isn't dumb, he's not your big friend, and he generally wishes you'd just shut up before he has to make you shut up.

Basic Strategy

Main articles: Heavy tips, Heavy strategy

• Hold Attack 2 to keep your minigun spinning, ready for approaching enemies.

• You're a great Medic buddy. Keep a clear line of sight to your Medic to keep the medigun on you.

• Hit the "MEDIC!" button to call for a Medic if you get hurt. Nearby Medics will be notified of your need.

• Your minigun chews up a lot of ammo. Pick up fallen weapons to refill your supply.

Trivia

• The Heavy is voiced by Gary Schwartz who also voiced The Demoman.
• Despite the Heavy's constant belittlement regarding the size of his opponents and teammates alike, the Sniper is in fact slightly taller. This is probably only true due to the strangely small size of the heavy's legs in proportion to his arms, however.
• The Heavy's hands are so large, he grips the pump of his shotgun with only his thumb and index finger, and can spin his shotgun around his finger as a taunt. He also holds the Sandvich and Dalokohs Bar in this fashion.
• Also, as seen in Meet the Scout, he fires his shotgun with his ring finger.
• The BLU Heavy has been killed and/or horribly maimed in every Meet the Team video to date excluding Meet the Sandvich, alongside an equally unlucky teammate, the BLU Soldier.
• The original design for the Heavy had a mullet hairdo.[1]
• The "Mullet Heavy" can still be seen in the "Soviet Union" achievement icon.
• The Heavy's minigun fires 4 shots per 1 ammo point and it takes him 20 seconds of non-stop firing to run out of ammo, meaning that "Sasha" only fires 2400 rounds per minute and not 10000 as the Heavy claims.
• The Heavy claims that it costs 400,000 dollars to use the minigun for twelve secounds (not counting windup time). That means it costs a entire 666,660 dollars to fire untill he runs out of ammo.
• The songs the Heavy may sing as part of his response rules include Mily Balakirev's 'Song of the Volga Boatmen', Chopin's 'Funeral March' and Khachaturian's 'Sabre Dance'.
• The emblem on the Heavy's sleeve was originally a skull and crossbones.
• In his HUD icon, the Heavy is not wearing his fingerless gloves.
• The Heavy uses "Super Caliber" brand bullets.
• The Heavy with the Sniper are the only two classes wearing fingerless gloves.
• All the classes insults the heavy by calling him fat, obese and overweight when they are dominating him except for the Soldier, Medic, and possibly the Pyro.
• In the Russian version of Meet the Heavy, the Heavy is much more intelligent than he is in the other versions, this has led many to theorize that the Heavy is very intelligent, but doesn't come off as so because he doesn't speak good English. The Russian version also uses updated models for the Heavy, the easiest sign being that his ears are more defined than before.
• Outside of combat, the Heavy is actually quite calm, as seen in Meet the Heavy.
• If a Heavy is killed when he has his melee out, he will drop his minigun instead.
• While many sources seem to suggest that the Heavy treats his minigun as a significant other, in-game he seems to treat it as a child, for example, his taunt of cradling it like a baby, and in the Russian version of "meet the Heavy", he refers to Sasha as his "baby."
• The Heavy's leaderboard icon is five bullets. However, the emblem on his sleeve and the Heavy token when crafted is a fist.
• With the release of the Dalokohs bar, the Heavy is the first and only class capable of directly overhealing himself (though the additional 50 max health does not decay like an overheal, instead disappearing after 30 seconds if it has not been depleted).
• The Heavy is the mascot of "Heavy Gulp," a brand of drink sold in Left 4 Dead 2.
• The Heavy seems to be interested in American pop culture, given his reference to 1960's-70's police films in one of his Sandvich lines, as well as his Elvis inspired hairdo and Football helmet.
• As of the Mac update the Heavy now has a blog, which is updated (in real-time) by his un-named replacement for his Minigun.
• The Heavy, as well as the Demoman, are the only classes that wear any visible body armor.
