The Heavy Weapons Guy is a playable class in Team Fortress Classic. He is noted for his large size and is outfitted with Heavy Armor. The Heavy Weapons Guy is outfitted with a Single-Barrel Shotgun, Double-Barrel Shotgun, and Assault Cannon. For grenades, the Heavy Weapons Guy is equipped with two powerful grenade types, the Hand Grenade and MIRV Grenade. However, he is the slowest class in the game.

Basic strategy

  • It is much easier to play offensively if you have a Medic, an Engineer or both with you, otherwise staying on defense might be a better choice.

  • Use your size to block doorways and other passages.
  • Improve your longevity by partnering with Medics and Engineers.
  • Keep your Assault Cannon spinning if you are lying in ambush.
