Heavy Weapons Guy (Classic)
Heavy Weapons Guy (Classic)
Basic Information
Type: Defensive
Health: 100
(150 when overhealed by a Medic)
Armor: 300
Armor type: Heavy
Speed: Very Slow

The Heavy Weapons Guy is a playable class in Team Fortress Classic. He is a large man outfitted with Heavy Armor, both shotguns, two powerful grenade types and a Assault Cannon. However, all of this comes with a price; he is the slowest class in the game. This makes him a great defending class, as he can take many hits before dying and has enough firepower to quickly inflict major damage on weak offense enemies.


Basic Strategy

  • Go on offense if you have a Medic with you, otherwise stay on defense.
  • Remain in closed or partially open areas as Snipers will find you an exceptionally easy target due to your very slow movement speed and size.
  • Use your size to block doorways and other passages.
  • Improve your lifespan by partnering with Medics and Engineers.
  • Keep your Assault Cannon spinning if you are lying in ambush.
