The Showdown is a comic that was released on July 7, 2016. It follows the Heavy as he encounters The Administrator with a simple request for her, only to run into a fiery opponent.

Synopsis

The comic opens with Heavy entering Bilious Gorge, tearing off a gated fence with no trouble. Down the path, he encounters a pack of guard dogs guarding a mineshaft, in which he readies to fight them with the fence door. However, he stops and gives a Sandvich to the dogs, taking them on his trek into the mineshaft. In the mineshaft, Heavy encounters some unknown masked men ascending from an elevator, who he sends the dogs after. Descending the elevator, Heavy arrives into a secret lair with a retractable bridge to the next room. Waiting for the bridge to open, he pulls out another Sandvich and eats it. The bridge opens up, in with Miss Pauling exits from the door on the other end. Heavy stops the door closing with his backpack, quickly saying hello and goodbye to the startled secretary.

At the end of the room, Heavy encounters the Administrator herself. Thinking that Heavy is about to kill her, she prepares to set her base to self destruct, only to stop when Heavy proclaims he wants new weapons. The Administrator asks if Heavy wants to know why, but Heavy proclaims he doesn't care and just wants new weapons. The Administrator says she can get him new guns, but it will take time as she can only supply one mercenary at a time. Heavy says it's alright since he's the only one asking, until the Administrator explains that Pyro beat him by three minutes. Annoyed, Heavy takes her lighter and offers it to Pyro if Heavy was allowed to get new weapons first, to which the Pyro rejected by crushing the lighter. The comic ends with the Administrator laughing at them, explaining that the thought of them killing each other would be perfect.
