The Heavy on the benefits of protein

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.

The Buffalo Steak Sandvich operates very similarly to the Heavy's achievement item, the Sandvich. It can still be dropped as a medium Medkit like the Sandvich, and also recharges in 30 seconds. However, unlike the Sandvich, the Buffalo Steak Sandvich does not provide health upon consumption. Instead, it provides him with 35% faster movement speed, restricts him to his melee weapon, causes him to deal guaranteed Mini-crits, and causes him to take 25% more damage from all sources, for 15 seconds. The speed bonus of the Buffalo Steak Sandvich doesn't "stack" with the Gloves of Running Urgently (or reskins) or the Eviction Notice.

Bugs

  • Damage from critical hits is not affected by the +25% effect applied by the Buffalo Steak Sandvich.
  • The speed increase from the Buffalo Steak Sandvich overrides the speed increase from the Disciplinary Action and Concheror, so a Heavy hit with the Disciplinary Action or buffed with the Concheror will move faster than a Heavy who has eaten a Buffalo Steak Sandvich and also been hit with the Disciplinary Action or buffed with the Concheror.
  • If the Buffalo Steak Sandvich is the active weapon during Humiliation, it can still be thrown by using alternate fire.
  • When a player consumes the Buffalo Steak Sandvich, it is possible that no bite marks will visibly appear in the first person view; other players will still see an eaten Steak.
  • If the player is damaged while doing an action taunt at either full health or overheal, and the Buffalo Steak Sandvich is the active weapon, then the Buffalo Steak Sandvich will consumed, although with no effect on the player.

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.[1]
