The Heavy

The Cow is a melee weapon for the Heavy. It appears as a two-dimensional wooden cutout of a cow.

Whilst this weapon delivers the same damage as the Fists, it has the added ability of inflicting bleed damage on enemies for 12 seconds. As a downside, the Heavy's movement speed is reduced by 20% when the Cow is being used.

The critical hit animation is an overhead swing with the flat side of the Cow. Should the critical hit connect with an enemy player, the Cow's head will shatter on impact, leaving a broken stump. This effect is purely cosmetic.

Update history

April 1, 2011 Patch

  • The item was added to the game.

Bugs

  • As the weapon uses the same taunt as the Minigun, it clips with the Heavy's hands and chest.
  • In some instances, the weapon may inflict milk status instead of bleed. Whether this is a bug or intentional is unknown.
  • The weapon lacks a unique kill icon.

Trivia

  • The Cow was first seen as a prop in 2Fort, featured in an out of bounds area in each team base.
    • Additionally, the sound of the Cow can be heard in Trailer 2.
