The Brass Beast is a primary weapon for the Heavy. It appears as an antique machine gun made almost entirely of brass, and bears a resemblance to the original 1861 Gatling gun made by Richard J. Gatling.
This weapon does more damage per second than the original Minigun, at the cost of a lengthy spin up time and slower movement speed while revved up. As a result, players are unable to move effectively whilst deployed, but can deal significant damage to oncoming enemies. This makes the Brass Beast particularly strong in defensive situations where a Heavy can keep the weapon spinning without having to move.

Update history
December 17, 2010 Patch (Australian Christmas)
- The item was added to the game.
- The item was added to the Mann Co. Store, made craftable, and included in random drops.
- This weapon was given a unique kill icon.
- [Undocumented] The spin-up and spin-down animations of the Heavy's miniguns were changed.
- Updated sounds for the Brass Beast.
- Updated model with optimizations and new LODs.
- [Undocumented] The crafting cost for the weapon was reduced by one Reclaimed Metal to one Reclaimed Metal + Natascha.
- All Brass Beasts crafted using the previous recipe have been upgraded to Vintage quality.
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 and spinning up and down.
- Don't Touch Sandvich, an Achievement involving Natascha, can be unlocked using the Brass Beast.
- There is a rare instance where the barrel will not rotate while spinning with secondary fire.
- 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 first person view.
Trivia
- The first-person view models of the Brass Beast, as well as that of the Iron Curtain, are based on the actual scale of the weapon models. This is in contrast to the Minigun and Natascha, which used separate skewed models to present more of the weapons on the screen.
