Like the [[Sandvich]], the Buffalo Steak Sandvich can be consumed by pressing either the primary fire or taunt key. When eaten, it temporarily increases the Heavy's movement speed to 311 [[Hammer unit|HU]]/s, roughly 35% faster than the Heavy's normal walking speed (and very slightly faster than the 'default' speed used by most classes), restricts him to using only melee weapons, and causes him to deal [[Mini-crit]] with his attacks, while also inducing a 25% more damage taken penalty. The effects last for 15 seconds. While the Heavy is eating, he makes a loud munching sound and the player is forced into the third-person view. The speed bonus will ''not'' stack with the [[Gloves of Running Urgently]] or its reskins.

Sandvich make me strong!
The Heavy on the benefits of protein

The Buffalo Steak Sandvich is a community-created secondary weapon for the Heavy. It is a slab of raw rib-eyed steak, from a Buffalo.

Like the Sandvich, the Buffalo Steak Sandvich can be consumed by pressing either the primary fire or taunt key. When eaten, it temporarily increases the Heavy's movement speed to 311 HU/s, roughly 35% faster than the Heavy's normal walking speed (and very slightly faster than the 'default' speed used by most classes), restricts him to using only melee weapons, and causes him to deal mini-crits with his attacks. The effects last for 16 seconds. While the Heavy is eating, he makes a loud munching sound and the player is forced into the third-person view. The speed bonus will not stack with the Gloves of Running Urgently or its reskins.

Players can use secondary fire to drop the Buffalo Steak Sandvich onto the floor. The normal effects are not applied on dropped steaks; a dropped Steak functions as a medium-sized Medkit that can be picked up by both allies and enemies. The Heavy cannot use his own Steak to heal himself; picking up a dropped Steak will simply reset the cooldown timer. A dropped Steak from another Heavy, whether friend or foe, can only be used to restore health and will not reset the cooldown timer.

The recharge time for the Buffalo Steak Sandvich is 30 seconds. The Heavy can instantly recharge the Steak by visiting a Resupply cabinet, picking up his own thrown Steak, or collecting any health pickup while at full health. Should the Heavy be killed while holding the Steak, it will be dropped as a collectible that restores 50 health to all classes but the Scout, who is healed for 75 health.

Bugs

  • The speed increase from the Buffalo Steak Sandvich overrides the speed increase from the Disciplinary Action and Concheror, so a Heavy hit with the Disciplinary Action or buffed with the Concheror will move faster than a Heavy who has eaten a Buffalo Steak Sandvich and also been hit with the Disciplinary Action or buffed with the Concheror.
  • If the Buffalo Steak Sandvich is the active weapon during Humiliation, it can still be thrown by using alternate fire, and taunting will still eat the Steak Sandvich and give its effects.
  • If the player is damaged while doing an action taunt at either full health or overheal, and the Buffalo Steak Sandvich is the active weapon, then the Buffalo Steak Sandvich will be consumed, although with no effect on the player.
  • The "bite" bodygroup does not restore when switching weapon.

Trivia

  • Instead of the Buffalo Steak Sandvich, the Peyote was originally intended to go with the Hibernating Bear set. However, playtesters thought that people might find a man in a Native American headdress eating Peyote and going on a rage-induced killing spree racist. The Steak was therefore created as a quick replacement.[1]
