All of the Heavy's Miniguns suffer from damage falloff at long range. For each unit of ammo consumed, four shots are fired.

[[File:Minigun IMG.png| 100px|right]]
+
The stock [[Minigun]] deals immense close range damage, but comparatively little at long range.
 
+
The [[Iron Curtain]] has the same stats as the Minigun.
The Minigun is a very powerful weapon that is capable of doing an immense amount of damage at close range. It can also knock back rocket and sticky jumping Soldiers and Demomen. This is a very useful trait for a gun to have and it is very useful as it helps the Heavy to defend the point. A good example of this is on point C of [[Gravelpit (competitive)|Gravelpit]], by standing on the point the heavy can deny the point to jumping Soldiers and Demomen.

=== Natascha ===
  
[[File:Natascha.png| 100px|right]]
+
The Natascha has a 30% increased spin-up time, deals 25% deals reduced damage, and slows down targets being hit.
  
Natascha trades damage for the ability to slow down enemies, this makes it easier to kill Scouts as it removes their primary advantage over Heavies, it can also ''''freeze'''' jumping Soldiers and Demomen in midair as the slowdown slows their fall as well. This minigun is banned in all major leagues though.
+
Below 50% health, it provides the Heavy with 20% damage resistance while spun up.

===The Brass Beast===
  
[[File:Brass Beast.png| 100px|right]]
+
The Brass Beast deals increased damage at a cost of mobility. It has an increased spin-up time, and a decreased move speed while spun up.
  
The Brass Beast trades mobility for 20% more damage, due to the slower movement speed it means that it is even easier for Snipers to headshot you. The Brass Beast is currently banned in the vast majority of leagues.
+
Below 50% health, it provides the Heavy with 20% damage resistance while spun up.

===Primary Weapon Usage===
+
=== Tomislav ===
  
Seeing as the Minigun is the only weapon that is allowed in all leagues it is the best option. Also, whilst the Natascha might sound good because it makes it easier to aim, if you are going to play as a Heavy you should have decent aim with him.
+
The Tomislav has a 20% decreased spin-up time, 20% increased accuracy, and makes no noise while spun-up.  
  
==Secondary Weapons==
+
It fires slower than the stock Minigun, but deals the same damage per bullet.

[[File:Shotgun IMG.png| 100px|right]]
+
=== Huo Long Heater ===
  
The Shotgun is the vanilla secondary weapon for the Heavy, it is a useful weapon to use when you are moving from place to place as it doesn't have a spin up time. The only problem with the Shotgun is that most of the time the Heavy will be using his Minigun and won't really need to use it. It is overshadowed by the other secondary unlocks such as the Sandvich.
+
The [[Huo-Long Heater]] surrounds the Heavy in a ring of fire while deployed. It does 10% less damage to non-burning players, and 25% more damage to burning players. The fire deals normal flamethrower damage and afterburn. It consumes an extra 4 ammo per second while spun up.

===The Sandvich===
+
=== Primary Weapon Usage ===
 +
 
 +
The stock Minigun deals consistent damage at short and medium range. The Brass Beast is best used on defense when the Heavy can sit still and not move as much. The Natascha deals best with flanking Scouts, thanks to its slow down ability. The Tomislav allows the Heavy to react more quickly, deal more damage at medium range, and allows for easier ambushing. The Huo-Long Heater can be useful if your team is running a Pyro, or if the opposing team has a Spy.
 +
 
 +
However, as the stock Minigun is the only available Minigun in most leagues, it is the most commonly used.
 +
 
 +
== Secondary Weapons ==
 +
 
 +
The Heavy may either select a Shotgun as his secondary, for increased damage, or a lunchbox item to deal with more specialized situations. Note that Lunchbox items are banned in many competitive leagues.
 +
 
 +
=== Shotgun ===
 +
 
 +
The stock Shotgun deals consistent short to medium range damage and requires no spin-up time, making it ideal to fend off an enemy if the Heavy isn't spun-up.

===The Family Business===
  
The Sandvich is an incredibly useful secondary weapon unlock for the Heavy, it's basically like a medium sized health kit that the Heavy can carry round and use when he needs to. It can help the Heavy survive in situations where he shouldn't. It's particularly useful if the Heavy is pocketing a Medic as it allows the Heavy to heal the Medic should he take too much damage.
+
The [[Family Business]] is a Shotgun with an increased magazine, but reduced damage.

=== The Sandvich ===
 +
 
 +
The [[Sandvich]] is a Heavy secondary which allows the Heavy to provide healing both to the team and for himself. Upon primary fire, the Heavy consumes the Sandvich, allowing him to heal for 300 health. The Heavy is rendered immobile during consumption, leaving him very vulnerable.
 +
 
 +
On alt-fire, the Sandvich is thrown, allowing teammates (or opposing players!) to be healed for half their health on pick-up. If the Heavy is killed with the Sandvich active, opposing players can pick it up to heal themselves.

===The Dalokohs Bar===
 
===The Dalokohs Bar===
  
[[File:RED Dalokohs Bar.png| 100px|right]]
+
The [[Dalokohs Bar]] is another lunchbox item, which provides slow but steady healing for the Heavy. It can be eaten many times in a row, and provides the heavy with 100 points of health, and increases his maximum health by 50 for 30 seconds. It drops on death akin to the Sandvich.
  
This is a possible rival to the Sandvich, instead of fully restoring your health, it gives you an overheal. By it's very nature the Sandvich is the better unlock because it can be thrown and it acts as a medium size health kit for anyone, the same can't be said about the Dalokohs Bar. It is also banned in all major leagues.
+
The [[Fishcake]] has the same stats as the Dalokohs Bar.

+
When eaten, the [[Buffalo Steak Sandvich]] increases the Heavy's speed and grants Mini-crits, but limits the Heavy to melee only. The Heavy will take 25% more damage from all sources while the effect is active. It can be thrown, and drops on death akin to the Sandvich.
  
The Buffalo Steak Sandvich is the last of the Heavy's secondary weapons, it increases his speed at the expense of only being able to use his melee weapon. This isn't very useful in the competitive scene as it's banned in all major leagues.

===The Second Banana===
 +
 
 +
The Second Banana is a lunchbox item for the Heavy. It functions similiarly to the [[Sandwich]]: using primary fire will make the Heavy consume it, healing up to 200 health. It charges faster than the sandwich, taking 11 seconds instead of 30. Additionally, it functions as a small health kit when dropped. When the Heavy is at full health, the Second Banana can be eaten repeatedly without recharging.

===Secondary Weapon Usage===
 
===Secondary Weapon Usage===
  
The only two contenders here are the Shotgun and the Sandvich, most competitive players prefer to use the Sandvich because being able to hand out a medium sized health kit is an extremely valuable ability to have. It can help the Heavy to last longer and take more spam. The Shotgun doesn't see much use, but it's useful to have when you run out of Minigun ammunition.
+
The stock Shotgun deals strong damage and is a quick substitute for the Minigun at close range. The Family Business fills a similar role, with the emphasis being on the increased magazine size, allowing the heavy to provide more spread out damage over time. The Panic Attack can be used in a way similar to the Shotgun, with the caveat of having to reload for each burst of fire.
 +
 
 +
The lunchbox items all have varying uses, with the Sandvich healing the most health, the Dalokohs Bar being useful for faster healing and buffed health, and the Buffalo Steak Sandvich having use for strong melee damage with increased mobility.
 +
 
 +
Heavies tend to use the Sandvich for its massive healing capability, but with a confident Medic, the Shotgun or Family Business can be more useful.
 +
 
 +
== Melee Weapons ==
 +
 
 +
The Heavy rarely uses his melee weapons, but some of them can have an effect on his gameplay. The Heavy's stock Fists, Apoco-Fists, and Holiday Punch perform the [[High Noon]] taunt, which can take out an unsuspecting enemy at range.
 +
 
 +
=== Fists ===
 +
 
 +
The stock [[Fists]] are rarely useful, as they provide no special effects for the Heavy. They can be used if the Heavy is low on ammo, but the stock Shotgun deals more consistent damage.
 +
 
 +
The [[Apoco-Fists]] have the same stats as the stock Fists, except that they [[gib]] on a kill with a critical punch.
 +
The [[Holiday Punch]] has the same stats as the stock Fists, except that critical hits deal no damage, and make the opponent [[Schadenfreude|laugh]]. Any punch within a 180º backstab radius will crit.

=== Killing Gloves of Boxing ===
 +
 
 +
The [[Killing Gloves of Boxing]], commonly abbreviated K.G.B., grant the Heavy a five second critical buff on kills with the item. This effect is best used with the Shotgun, Family Business, or the K.G.B. themselves, as spin-up time may waste this buff. They have a slower firing rate, but deal identical damage to the stock Fists.

=== Melee Weapon Usage ===
 +
 
 +
Heavies tend not to use their fists in combat. The G.R.U. are often used when not banned since it can increase the speed of the Heavy greatly. The K.G.B. can pair well with the Tomislav, when available, or the Shotgun. The Warrior's Spirit allows higher melee damage and can provide a health boost on kills. The Eviction Notice can quickly deal chip damage while letting the Heavy move slightly faster. The Fists of Steel can help tank damage, but make the Heavy very weak to any melee attack. The Holiday Punch is more of a gimmick weapon, as it loses the damaging power of critical hits, but gains a stunning effect through the forced taunt on critical hits or attacks from behind; enemies can still be finished off by normal punches, teammates, or other means of damage.
 +
 
 +
Heavies most often use the Fists of Steel, the Eviction Notice, or the G.R.U., when available. If these items are banned, they will most often use the Fists. The K.G.B. and Holiday Punch have situational uses, as crits or stuns can both be highly beneficial.

This article is for competitive play, based on the standard community competitive format.
The community competitive scene changes frequently. Some or all info may be outdated.
Some Heavy weapons may be banned in your league. For a list of banned weapons, please see the Weapon Ban List.

Primary Weapons

All of the Heavy's Miniguns suffer from damage falloff at long range. For each unit of ammo consumed, four shots are fired.

Minigun

The stock Minigun deals immense close range damage, but comparatively little at long range. The Iron Curtain has the same stats as the Minigun.

Primary Weapon Usage

The stock Minigun deals consistent damage at short and medium range. The Brass Beast is best used on defense when the Heavy can sit still and not move as much. The Natascha deals best with flanking Scouts, thanks to its slow down ability. The Tomislav allows the Heavy to react more quickly, deal more damage at medium range, and allows for easier ambushing. The Huo-Long Heater can be useful if your team is running a Pyro, or if the opposing team has a Spy.

However, as the stock Minigun is the only available Minigun in most leagues, it is the most commonly used.

Secondary Weapons

The Heavy may either select a Shotgun as his secondary, for increased damage, or a lunchbox item to deal with more specialized situations. Note that Lunchbox items are banned in many competitive leagues.

Shotgun

The stock Shotgun deals consistent short to medium range damage and requires no spin-up time, making it ideal to fend off an enemy if the Heavy isn't spun-up.

The Sandvich

The Sandvich is a Heavy secondary which allows the Heavy to provide healing both to the team and for himself. Upon primary fire, the Heavy consumes the Sandvich, allowing him to heal for 300 health. The Heavy is rendered immobile during consumption, leaving him very vulnerable.

On alt-fire, the Sandvich is thrown, allowing teammates (or opposing players!) to be healed for half their health on pick-up. If the Heavy is killed with the Sandvich active, opposing players can pick it up to heal themselves.

The Robo Sandvich and the Festive Sandvich have the same stats as the normal Sandvich.

The Second Banana

The Second Banana is a lunchbox item for the Heavy. It functions similiarly to the Sandwich: using primary fire will make the Heavy consume it, healing up to 200 health. It charges faster than the sandwich, taking 11 seconds instead of 30. Additionally, it functions as a small health kit when dropped. When the Heavy is at full health, the Second Banana can be eaten repeatedly without recharging.

Secondary Weapon Usage

The stock Shotgun deals strong damage and is a quick substitute for the Minigun at close range. The Family Business fills a similar role, with the emphasis being on the increased magazine size, allowing the heavy to provide more spread out damage over time. The Panic Attack can be used in a way similar to the Shotgun, with the caveat of having to reload for each burst of fire.

The lunchbox items all have varying uses, with the Sandvich healing the most health, the Dalokohs Bar being useful for faster healing and buffed health, and the Buffalo Steak Sandvich having use for strong melee damage with increased mobility.

Heavies tend to use the Sandvich for its massive healing capability, but with a confident Medic, the Shotgun or Family Business can be more useful.

Melee Weapons

The Heavy rarely uses his melee weapons, but some of them can have an effect on his gameplay. The Heavy's stock Fists, Apoco-Fists, and Holiday Punch perform the High Noon taunt, which can take out an unsuspecting enemy at range.

Fists

The stock Fists are rarely useful, as they provide no special effects for the Heavy. They can be used if the Heavy is low on ammo, but the stock Shotgun deals more consistent damage.

The Apoco-Fists have the same stats as the stock Fists, except that they gib on a kill with a critical punch. The Holiday Punch has the same stats as the stock Fists, except that critical hits deal no damage, and make the opponent laugh. Any punch within a 180º backstab radius will crit.

Killing Gloves of Boxing

The Killing Gloves of Boxing, commonly abbreviated K.G.B., grant the Heavy a five second critical buff on kills with the item. This effect is best used with the Shotgun, Family Business, or the K.G.B. themselves, as spin-up time may waste this buff. They have a slower firing rate, but deal identical damage to the stock Fists.

Melee Weapon Usage

Heavies tend not to use their fists in combat. The G.R.U. are often used when not banned since it can increase the speed of the Heavy greatly. The K.G.B. can pair well with the Tomislav, when available, or the Shotgun. The Warrior's Spirit allows higher melee damage and can provide a health boost on kills. The Eviction Notice can quickly deal chip damage while letting the Heavy move slightly faster. The Fists of Steel can help tank damage, but make the Heavy very weak to any melee attack. The Holiday Punch is more of a gimmick weapon, as it loses the damaging power of critical hits, but gains a stunning effect through the forced taunt on critical hits or attacks from behind; enemies can still be finished off by normal punches, teammates, or other means of damage.

Heavies most often use the Fists of Steel, the Eviction Notice, or the G.R.U., when available. If these items are banned, they will most often use the Fists. The K.G.B. and Holiday Punch have situational uses, as crits or stuns can both be highly beneficial.
