The Brass Beast is a community-made primary weapon for the Heavy. It is an antique machine gun made almost entirely of brass, bearing resemblance to the original 1861 Gatling gun made by Richard J. Gatling with a number of modifications.
This weapon does more damage per second than the original Minigun, at the cost of a lengthy spin up time and slower movement speed while it is both deployed and revved up. As a result, players are unable to move effectively whilst deployed, but can deal significant damage to oncoming enemies. This makes the Brass Beast particularly strong in defensive situations where a Heavy can keep the weapon spinning without having to move.

Bugs

- Whilst firing, the bullets will seem to originate from the right of the weapon in client view.
- In some instances, it can appear as if the gun is shooting in a different direction to where it actually is. This can be encountered when a Heavy is shooting below him whilst on a ledge.
