The Buffalo Steak Sandvich is a community-created secondary weapon for the Heavy. It is a slab of raw rib-eyed steak from a Buffalo.
Like the Sandvich, the Buffalo Steak Sandvich can be consumed by pressing either the primary fire or taunt key. When eaten, it temporarily increases the Heavy's movement speed to 299 HU/s (30% faster than the Heavy's regular walking speed), locks him to his melee weapon, causes him to deal mini-crits with his attacks, and increases the damage he takes by 20%. The speed bonus will stack with the Gloves of Running Urgently or its reskins, increasing speed to 310 HU/s. The speed bonus will also stack with the passive boost of the Eviction Notice, increasing speed to the same 310 HU/s, but will not stack with its on-hit boost. These effects last for 16 seconds (although the buff actually lasts 18 seconds when including the Heavy's eating animation).
While the Heavy is eating, he makes a loud munching sound and the player is forced into the third-person view.
Players can use secondary fire to drop the Buffalo Steak Sandvich onto the floor. The normal effects are not applied on dropped steaks; a dropped Steak functions as a medium-sized Medkit that can be picked up by both allies and enemies. The Heavy cannot use his own Steak to heal himself; picking up a dropped Steak will simply reset the cooldown timer. A dropped Steak from another Heavy, whether friend or foe, can only be used to restore health and will not reset the cooldown timer.
The recharge time for the Buffalo Steak Sandvich is 30 seconds. The Heavy can instantly recharge the Steak by visiting a Resupply cabinet, picking up his own thrown Steak, or collecting any health pickup while at full health. Should the Heavy be killed while holding the Steak, it will be dropped as a collectible that restores 50 health to all classes but the Scout, who is healed for 75 health.

Bugs
- The speed boost still stacks with the speed boost of other items.[1]
- If the Heavy has the Eviction Notice equipped and is under the effects of the steak, gaining a speed boost on melee hit will result in the Heavy's speed staying at 310 HU/s, instead of the 370 HU/s it would be without the steak's buff.
- If the Buffalo Steak Sandvich is the active weapon during Humiliation, it can still be thrown by using alternate fire, and taunting will still eat the Steak Sandvich and give its effects.
- Critical Shots ignore the 20% damage vulnerability, meaning a heavy while it's effect, would still only have critical shots do what they would when the effect was not active. [2]
Trivia
- Instead of the Buffalo Steak Sandvich, the Peyote was originally intended to go with the Hibernating Bear set. However, playtesters thought that people might find a man in a Native American headdress eating Peyote and going on a rage-induced killing spree racist. The Steak was therefore created as a quick replacement.[3]
