“
The Sandvich is a great tool for a Heavy defending an area, as it gives him the ability to replenish health between enemy waves without having to abandon his post.
— Sandvich publicity blurb
 ”

The Sandvich, known in full as the Sandvich Edible Device, is an unlockable secondary weapon for the Heavy. It is half of a sandwich made with two triangular slices of white bread. Layered inbetween are slices of lettuce, tomatoes, Swiss cheese, ham and bologna, as noted by the Heavy, and a green pimento-stuffed olive is pinned to the top with a toothpick. The Festive version wraps the entire sandwich in team-colored wrapping paper, decorated with several Matryoshka Dolls decals that feature both the Sandvich and the playable classes. It also replaces the olive with a glowing yellow star, attached via a large spring. On consumption, the Sandvich shows a large bite to its side.

The Sandvich can be consumed by pressing either primary fire or taunt key (default keys: MOUSE1 and G, respectively). When eaten, it gradually replenishes up to 300 health over a four second duration with no overheal. While the Heavy is eating, he makes a loud munching sound and the player is forced into the third-person view. As eating the Sandvich is considered a taunt, it cannot be consumed in instances when taunts cannot be used, such as when underwater. If consumed while at maximum health, the Sandvich does not have to recharge, allowing it to be consumed continuously for leisure. Crit-boosted Sandviches have no additional benefits.

Players can use the alt-fire key (default key: MOUSE2) to drop the Sandvich onto the floor. A dropped Sandvich appears on a rotating plate and acts as a medium Health kit that can be picked up by both allies and enemies. Picking up the Heavy's own dropped Sandvich resets the weapon's cooldown timer rather than providing health. A dropped Sandvich from another Heavy, whether friend or foe, restores health and does not reset the cooldown timer. Two sandviches from the same Heavy cannot be dropped on the floor at the same time, as the original disappears as soon as another is thrown.

The recharge time for the Sandvich is approximately 30 seconds. The Heavy can instantly recharge the Sandvich by visiting a Resupply cabinet, picking up his own thrown Sandvich, or collecting any health pickup while at full health. The recharge timer begins as soon as the Sandvich is consumed or dropped. Should the Heavy be killed while holding the Sandvich, the ammo pack that he drops upon death instead restores 50 health for all classes but the Scout, who is healed for 75 health. The Sandvich weapon itself can be collected by other Heavies via weapon switching.

The Sandvich is automatically awarded to any player who obtains 10 Heavy achievements.

Bugs

  • If the Sandvich is the active weapon during Humiliation, it can still be thrown by using alternate fire, and taunting still restores the player to full health.
  • The Festive variant does not glow when Crit boosted.
  • The light on the Festive Sandvich may appear red or blue when thrown instead of the typical yellow.
  • The Festive Sandvich does not appear when inspecting it from the backpack menu.

Trivia

  • The Sandvich was first introduced to the community in Meet the Scout, months before it was released as an in-game item.
    • Scout receiving more health from a dropped Sandvich is a direct reference to this.[1]
  • The user manual for the Sandvich contains a typo. The word "Health" relating to the cheese and dairy group is misspelled as "Heatlh". This is corrected in the actual poster available through the Valve Store.
    • The user manual also still mentions healing 120 health (or "nutritional points") it used to heal, rather than the 300 health it currently heals.
