{{Quotation|'''The Heavy''' on intelligence.|Some people think they can outsmart me - maybe... maybe. I have yet to meet one that can outsmart '''bullet'''.|sound=Meet.wav}}
 +
 +
A towering hulk of a man hailing from the USSR, the '''Heavy''', known in full as the '''Heavy Weapons Guy''', is the largest and possibly most dangerous [[class]] in ''Team Fortress 2''. Boasting the highest stamina and biggest gun, the Heavy is no pushover. His firepower is devastating, allowing him to mow down any and all opponents in seconds, be they babies, cowards, or tiny baby-men. However, he does not come without downsides— revving up or firing his [[Minigun]] brings his already-unimpressive speed down to a snail's pace, making him a very open and very large target for any opponent outside of his effective range, such as the [[Sniper]]. Despite his imposing stature, the Heavy's slow gait means he must often rely upon his teammates to lend a helping hand; with a [[Medic]] by his side, a functional [[Teleporter]], and a well coordinated team controlling his flanks, he is a true force to be reckoned with. Aside from decimating entire teams, the Heavy is able to provide further support for his comrades with an oft-required health boost via his [[Sandvich]] — arguably the ''tastiest'' [[Health]] kit in the game (though some may prefer the taste of [[Buffalo Steak Sandvich|steak]]).
 +
 +
The Heavy is the face of ''Team Fortress 2''. He appears prominently on box-art and promotional materials, starred in the very first [[Meet the Team]] video, and has appeared in all further videos to date. He also appears in ''[[Poker Night at the Inventory]]'' as the ''Team Fortress 2'' representative, regaling many stories and fun facts that wiki moderators have voted non-canonical.
 +
 +
The Heavy is voiced by [http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0777229/ Gary Schwartz].

| description = Like a hibernating bear, the Heavy appears to be a gentle giant. Also [http://www.teamfortress.com/images/posts/soundbytes/SCOUT_bigshavedbear.mp3 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.

* If you die while still firing your primary weapon ([[Minigun]], [[Iron Curtain]], etc), during your death cam, the bullet effect will occasionally still be present in the middle of your screen.
 +
* The Heavy's bullet chain slung around his large body clips into his back quite noticably in world view.
 +
 +
== Trivia ==
 +
* The voice actor for the Heavy, [http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0777229/ Gary Schwartz], also voices the [[Demoman]].
 +
* The songs the Heavy may sing as part of his [[Heavy responses|response rules]] include [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4cgCDHz6G1s Mily Balakirev's 'Song of the Volga Boatmen'], [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q5UrVdvk1Ao Chopin's 'Funeral March'], [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gqg3l3r_DRI Khachaturian's 'Sabre Dance'].
 +
* The emblem on the Heavy's sleeve was originally a skull and crossbones. This is still visible in [[Meet the Heavy]] and in a backdrop for TF2's library page on Steam.
 +
* The Heavy is the mascot of "Heavy Gulp," a brand of drink sold in ''[http://left4dead.wikia.com/wiki/Left_4_Dead_2 Left 4 Dead 2]''.
 +
* In the ''Left4Dead'' "The Passing" comic, Louis also has the RED Heavy statue on his desk during [http://www.l4d.com/comic/comic.php?page=25 his] [http://www.l4d.com/comic/comic.php?page=37 flashback] one day after the outbreak.
 +
* 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]], [[Dalokohs Bar]], [[Fishcake]], and [[Buffalo Steak Sandvich]] in this fashion.
 +
* The Heavy makes an appearance in Telltale Games' ''Poker Night at the Inventory''; players can unlock the [[Iron Curtain]] by beating him in a special round. In addition to being one of the 4 main characters in Poker Night, the Heavy makes appearances in 2 of the unlockable card decks. In the "TF2" card deck, he appears as the King card for both of the red suits - diamonds and hearts - and in the "Poker Night" card deck, he appears as the King of Diamonds only.
 +
* The Heavy makes an appearance in ''[[Worms: Reloaded]]'' as part of one of the forts; the rest of the fort is composed of [[Dustbowl]]. A plastic mask of the Heavy also makes an appearance as one of the hats selectable for the player's worms.
 +
* The Gunner class of ''[[Monday Night Combat]]'' has a promo item resembling the Heavy's ammo belt, named "Bavcon".
 +
* The Heavy lives in a remote log mansion in the {{W|Dzhugdzhur Mountains}}.<ref name="Dzhugdzhur Mountains">[http://teamfortress.com/post.php?id=4965&p=1 "From Hell !" – TF2 Official Blog post, February 3, 2011.]</ref>
 +
*[[Non-player characters#BLU team (Original)|John Henry]] was hired as the first BLU team Heavy.
 +
*Heavy posted his first blog post on April 7, 2011 <ref name="April 7, 2011"> [http://teamfortress.com/post.php?id=5244&p=1 "This is Very Good Title to Blog Post" – TF2 Official Blog post, April 7, 2011.]</ref> while Soldier was on jury duty.
 +
*In the ''[http://www.teamfortress.com/meetthedirector/?p=7 Meet the Director]'' comic, it was revealed that Heavy sleeps in a bed next to Sasha, who is in a smaller bed.
 +
**It was [http://www.teamfortress.com/meetthedirector/?p=4 mentioned] that the Heavy's father was a "counter-revolutionary" who was executed, and that his mother, sister and himself were sent to a North Siberian Gulag.
 +
*Even though his family was sent to a gulag, he himself seems to be slightly patriotic, printing the hammer and sickle on the Iron Curtain.

 +
The following are not particularly useful or interesting, but may become so if an extended "Bio" section is included in the future:
 +
* The Heavy, taking into account the historical setting of the game, appears very apathetic towards the USSR. While stereotypes and clichés often show soviets placing the USSR in very high regards, the Heavy barely makes references to it. In fact, only the [[Soldier]] seems to acknowledge his place of origin (in domination lines). In addition, the Heavy himself seems to be able to get along fine with the [[Soldier]], the [[Scout]], the [[Engineer]], and the [[Medic]], whose national backgrounds would seem to be potentially problematic. However, this may be because of his childhood in a gulag.
 +
* However, even though his family was sent to a gulag, he himself seems to be slightly patriotic, printing the hammer and sickle on the Iron Curtain. 
 +
* In the Russian version of Meet the Heavy, the Heavy appears much more intelligent than he is in the other versions. This may suggest the Heavy is smarter than he seems, but doesn't speak English well. The Russian version also uses updated models for the Heavy, such as more defined ears.
 +
* Instead of most translations, "Пулеметчик" in the Russian version means simply "machinegunner".
 +
* In his [[HUD]] icon, the Heavy is not wearing his fingerless gloves because the image was originally used in the TF2 Beta and has not yet been altered.
 +
* In the beta Heavy had 4 different skins: The Beta, Trailer 2 skin, Meet the team videos and the original.
 +
* In Poker Night at the Inventory, the [[Heavy]] appears to have green eyes instead of his usual blue eyes. Also, in a recent trailer for the game, the [[Heavy]] sounds significantly different from normal, even though it has been confirmed Gary Schwartz will be voicing the [[Heavy]] in the game.

Meet the Heavy
HeavyVidSplash.png
“ ”

A towering hulk of a man hailing from the USSR, the Heavy, known in full as the Heavy Weapons Guy, is the largest and possibly most dangerous class in Team Fortress 2. Boasting the highest stamina and biggest gun, the Heavy is no pushover. His firepower is devastating, allowing him to mow down any and all opponents in seconds, be they babies, cowards, or tiny baby-men. However, he does not come without downsides— revving up or firing his Minigun brings his already-unimpressive speed down to a snail's pace, making him a very open and very large target for any opponent outside of his effective range, such as the Sniper. Despite his imposing stature, the Heavy's slow gait means he must often rely upon his teammates to lend a helping hand; with a Medic by his side, a functional Teleporter, and a well coordinated team controlling his flanks, he is a true force to be reckoned with. Aside from decimating entire teams, the Heavy is able to provide further support for his comrades with an oft-required health boost via his Sandvich — arguably the tastiest Health kit in the game (though some may prefer the taste of steak).

The Heavy is the face of Team Fortress 2. He appears prominently on box-art and promotional materials, starred in the very first Meet the Team video, and has appeared in all further videos to date. He also appears in Poker Night at the Inventory as the Team Fortress 2 representative, regaling many stories and fun facts that wiki moderators have voted non-canonical.

The Heavy is voiced by Gary Schwartz.

Bugs

  • If you die while still firing your primary weapon (Minigun, Iron Curtain, etc), during your death cam, the bullet effect will occasionally still be present in the middle of your screen.
  • The Heavy's bullet chain slung around his large body clips into his back quite noticably in world view.

Trivia

  • The voice actor for the Heavy, Gary Schwartz, also voices the Demoman.
  • 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', Khachaturian's 'Sabre Dance'.

  • The Heavy is the mascot of "Heavy Gulp," a brand of drink sold in Left 4 Dead 2.
  • In the Left4Dead "The Passing" comic, Louis also has the RED Heavy statue on his desk during his flashback one day after the outbreak.
  • 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, Dalokohs Bar, Fishcake, and Buffalo Steak Sandvich in this fashion.
  • The Heavy makes an appearance in Telltale Games' Poker Night at the Inventory; players can unlock the Iron Curtain by beating him in a special round. In addition to being one of the 4 main characters in Poker Night, the Heavy makes appearances in 2 of the unlockable card decks. In the "TF2" card deck, he appears as the King card for both of the red suits - diamonds and hearts - and in the "Poker Night" card deck, he appears as the King of Diamonds only.
  • The Heavy makes an appearance in Worms: Reloaded as part of one of the forts; the rest of the fort is composed of Dustbowl. A plastic mask of the Heavy also makes an appearance as one of the hats selectable for the player's worms.
  • The Gunner class of Monday Night Combat has a promo item resembling the Heavy's ammo belt, named "Bavcon".
  • The Heavy lives in a remote log mansion in the Template:W.[2]
  • John Henry was hired as the first BLU team Heavy.
  • Heavy posted his first blog post on April 7, 2011 [3] while Soldier was on jury duty.
  • In the Meet the Director comic, it was revealed that Heavy sleeps in a bed next to Sasha, who is in a smaller bed.
    • It was mentioned that the Heavy's father was a "counter-revolutionary" who was executed, and that his mother, sister and himself were sent to a North Siberian Gulag.
  • Even though his family was sent to a gulag, he himself seems to be slightly patriotic, printing the hammer and sickle on the Iron Curtain.
