The Huo-Long Heater is a community-created promotional primary weapon for the Heavy, which he has named "Sheila"[1]. It is an antique-looking, partially team-colored machine gun made of wood and metal, which features a traditional Chinese dragon's head mounted on the muzzle of the gun and a hexagonal, chest-resembling ammo drum.
The Huo-Long Heater emits constant rings of fire around the player's feet while the weapon is spun-up, with either the primary or secondary fire buttons. Its base damage and afterburn from the rings of fire are also increased by 25% against burning players as long as the weapon is the active weapon. However, this comes at the cost of 4 ammo lost per second while spun-up, and 10% less base damage compared to the default Minigun.
This item was awarded in Genuine quality to players who pre-ordered Sleeping Dogs on Steam before August 14, 2012, or August 17, 2012 in Europe.
The Huo-Long Heater was later contributed to the Steam Workshop, at Valve's request.

Update history
August 2, 2012 Patch (Triad Pack)
- The Huo Long Heatmaker was added to the game.
- Fixed the Huo Long Heatmaker not consuming additional ammo while firing.
- Renamed from "The Huo Long Heatmaker" to "The Huo-Long Heater".
- [Undocumented] Added Huo-Long Heater to the item drop system.
September 13, 2012 [Item schema update]
- [Undocumented] Added Strange quality.
- [Undocumented] Added Collector's quality.
- Fixed not being able to apply Killstreak Kits to the Sleeping Dogs promo items.
- All mini-guns now have damage and accuracy ramp up after they start firing. Full accuracy and damage is reached 1 second after firing.
- Minigun: Winding up via secondary attack now counts toward reducing the one-second accuracy penalty.
- Fixed not being able to switch away from the Minigun while spinning down.
July 2, 2015 Patch (Gun Mettle Update)
- Minigun damage penalty on Level 2 and Level 3 Sentry Guns slightly decreased. Level 2 Sentry resistance changed from 20% to 15% and Level 3 changed from 33% to 20%.
- Updated description to better detail the weapon's features.
- The Huo-Long Heater can now accept Posthumous Kills strange parts.
July 7, 2016 Patch #1 (Meet Your Match Update)
- Changed attributes:
- Added -10% damage.
- Added +25% increased damage vs. burning players.
- Reduced ammo drain to -4/sec (from -6).
- Reduced pulse damage from Ring of Fire to 12 (from 15) due to increased damage vs. burning targets.
- [Undocumented] Updated the description of the Huo-Long Heater.
October 20, 2017 Patch #1 (Jungle Inferno Update)
- The 1-second damage and accuracy penalty now applies to the first second of spun-up time, whether or not the Heavy is firing. Previously, the 1-second damage penalty would only be removed after 1 second of firing.
- 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%.
- Fixed the afterburn duration for the Huo-Long Heater.
Bugs
- The fire ring can damage enemies while underwater.
- Holding secondary 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.
- When holding the primary fire button during a taunt, the Huo-Long Heater's muzzle flash turns invisible.
Trivia
- "Huo-Long" (火龙, huǒlóng) means "Fire dragon" in Chinese. However, Chinese dragons are hardly depicted as fire-breathing creatures, the word "Huo-Long" would refer to a typical European dragon instead.
