“

Now Sasha - Don't be jealous — Natascha publicity blurb

”

The Natascha is an unlockable primary weapon for the Heavy. Similar in appearance to the default Minigun, the weapon's ammunition carrier is colored jet black instead, and from it emerges an additional chain belt, layered on the right of the gun, that feeds into the barrel.

Each bullet fired by the Natascha slows any enemy hit to a speed of 113 Hammer units per second (roughly 7.75 km/h or 4.81 mph) for a brief period of time; the speed penalty inflicted by each bullet decreases the further away a target moves. When spun-up, the weapon grants 20% damage resistance if the player's health falls below 50% of base health upon being hit. However, the Natascha has a 30% longer spin-up time, and fires bullets that deal 25% less damage than those of the default Minigun. The Natascha's slowdown effect allows the user to trap mobile enemies and prevent them from escaping, at the cost of less firepower.

The Natascha is automatically awarded to any player who obtains 16 Heavy achievements.

The kill icon for the Natascha was contributed by NeoDement.

• Accuracy and damage penalties now reset when the Heavy spins down, rather than when the Heavy stops firing. This means if you stay spun-up beyond one second, and fire in bursts, damage and accuracy will remain at 100%.

Bugs

• The attribute "-20% damage resistance when below 50% health and spun up" is incorrect; the resistance only applies if the Heavy takes enough damage to go below 50% health. Being below 50% health prior to spinning up does not activate the buff.
  • The attribute is incorrectly listed as "-20% damage resistance when below 50% health and spun up", instead of "+20%".
• The extra damage provided by a critical or mini-critical hit is not impacted by damage resistance, except for the base hit.
• When empty, the weapon's dry fire sound does not loop properly and cuts out after a few seconds.
• Holding alt-fire and tapping primary fire with one bullet left causes the Minigun to play the firing animation loop despite having no ammo. This is visible in third person and by other players.
• Immediately revving after taunting causes the barrel to not spin, fixed by firing the gun.
• When holding the primary fire button during a taunt, the Natascha's muzzle flash turns invisible.

Trivia

• The Natascha is referred to as both the "Minifun" and "Ludmila" within the game files.
