The Heavy Weapons Guy is a playable class in Team Fortress Classic. He is noted for his large size and is outfitted with Heavy Armor. The Heavy is outfitted with a Single Barrel Shotgun, Double Barrel Shotgun, and Assault Cannon. For grenades, the Heavy is equipped with two powerful grenade types, the Hand Grenade and MIRV Grenade. However, he is the slowest class in the game. This makes him a great defensive class, as he can take many hits before dying and has enough firepower to quickly inflict significant damage.

Basic strategy
- It is much easier to play offensively if you have a Medic with you, otherwise staying on defense might be a better choice.
- Remain in closed or partially-open areas, as Snipers will find you an exceptionally easy target due to your very slow movement speed and size.
- Use your size to block doorways and other passages.
- Keep your Assault Cannon spinning if you are lying in ambush.
