'''Natascha''' is the second unlockable weapon for the [[Heavy]] that replaces the [[Minigun]] and is unlocked after completing 16 [[Heavy achievements]]. Natascha is listed as a Level 5 Minigun in the loadout menu. Each bullet that hits instantly slows the target by a small amount, stacking until the victim's speed is reduced to a minimum of approximately 113 units per second. So enemies taking damage from her are forced to face the Heavy. Unfortunately, her firepower is 25% weaker than that of the normal Minigun, so the Heavy will find it takes longer to finish enemies off. Combined with damage falloff and a large cone of fire, it's best to fire at close range. As a result, Natascha is great to use against the more agile classes such as [[Scout]]s and [[Medic]]s or enemies who rely on close range for their attacks such as [[Pyro]]s and [[Spy|Spies]]. Conversely, it not as effective against classes who can kill you at range. Heavies that like to jump around corners to surprise groups of enemies will also find it very useful, because Natascha makes a noticeably quieter (yet distinct) sound than the normal Minigun. Before you do that, though, it's best to make sure there isn't a Sasha-wielding Heavy there.

All will fear my giant new gun.
— The Heavy on Natascha

Natascha is an unlockable primary weapon for the Heavy. Similar in appearence to the default Minigun, this weapon boasts a jet black ammunition carrier and additional chain belt.

Each bullet fired by Natascha has the potential to slow down an enemy by a small amount, stacking until the victim's speed is reduced to a minimum of approximately 113 units per second. Unfortunately, firepower is 25% weaker than that of the normal Minigun. Enemies hit by Natascha are therefore force to stand and fight the player, whilst the Heavy will take longer to finish them off.

It is best to fire the weapon at medium to close range, preventing enemies from retreating behind corners and not allowing them to deal retaliation damage against the Heavy. Agile classes such as Scouts and Medics suffer greatly from Natascha, as do enemies who rely on close range attacks such as Pyros and Spies. Conversely, it not as effective against classes who can deal sufficient damage at long range. Natascha makes a noticeably quieter (yet distinct) sound, allowing surprise ambushes from around corners easier.

Recent Changes

  • The kill icon for Natascha was originally the same as the Minigun. This was changed to its current kill icon in the July 8, 2010 patch.

Trivia

  • Natascha is referred to as both the Minifun and Ludmila within the game files.
  • The ammo belt on Natascha's side never actually moves when firing; it is only cosmetic.
  • The ammo belt is on the right on the world model, but on the left on the view model. This is probably because it was difficult for the player to recognise which Minigun they were using.
