“

Some people think they can outsmart me - maybe... maybe. I have yet to meet one that can outsmart bullet. Click to listen — The Heavy on intelligence

”

The Heavy, fully titled Heavy Weapons Guy, is a towering hulk of a man that hails from the USSR. Heavy is the largest, and possibly most dangerous class in Team Fortress 2. Boasting the most default health and devastating firepower from his trusty Minigun, the Heavy is no pushover. The Minigun the Heavy wields possesses great power, allowing him to mow down any and all enemies in seconds. However, he does not come without downsides— revving up or firing his Minigun brings his already-unimpressive speed down to a snail's pace, making him a very open and very large target for Snipers and Spies. This slow movement speed means the Heavy must rely on support from Medics and Engineers to keep him in the fight. Aside from decimating entire teams, the Heavy is able to provide further support for his comrades with an oft-required health boost via his Sandvich — arguably the tastiest Health kit in the game (though some may prefer the taste of steak, chocolate, or fish).

The Heavy is the face of Team Fortress 2. He appears prominently on box-art and promotional materials, starred in the very first Meet the Team video, and has appeared in all further videos to date.

The Heavy is voiced by Gary Schwartz.

Bio

Name: Unknown Location of origin: Template:W Job: Mow Down Motto: "Shooting Good." Emblems:    Description: Like a hibernating bear, the Heavy appears to be a gentle giant. Also like a bear, confusing his deliberate, sleepy demeanor with gentleness will get you ripped limb from limb. Though he speaks simply and moves with an economy of energy that's often confused with napping, the Heavy isn't dumb; he's not your big friend and he generally wishes you'd just shut up before he has to make you shut up.

Basic strategy

Main articles: Heavy tips, Heavy strategy

• Hold MOUSE2 to keep your Minigun spinning, ready for approaching enemies.
• You're a great Medic buddy. Keep a clear line of sight to your Medic to keep the Medigun on you.
• Hit E to call for a Medic if you get hurt. Nearby Medics will be notified of your need.
• Your Minigun chews up a lot of ammo. Pick up fallen weapons to refill your supply.

Bugs

• If you die while still firing your primary weapon (Minigun, Iron Curtain, etc), during your death cam, the bullet effect will occasionally still be present in the middle of your screen.
• The Heavy's bullet chain slung around his large body clips into his back quite noticably in world view.

Trivia

• The voice actor for the Heavy, Gary Schwartz, also voices the Demoman.
• The songs the Heavy may sing as part of his response rules include Mily Balakirev's 'Song of the Volga Boatmen', Chopin's 'Funeral March', Khachaturian's 'Sabre Dance'.
• The emblem on the Heavy's sleeve was originally a skull and crossbones. This is still visible in Meet the Heavy and in a backdrop for TF2's library page on Steam.
• The Heavy is the mascot of "Heavy Gulp," a brand of drink sold in Left 4 Dead 2.
• In the Left4Dead "The Passing" comic, Louis also has the RED Heavy statue on his desk during his flashback one day after the outbreak.
• The Heavy's hands are so large that he grips the pump of his Shotgun with only his thumb and index finger, and can spin his Shotgun around his finger as a taunt. He also holds the Sandvich, Dalokohs Bar, Fishcake, and Buffalo Steak Sandvich in this fashion.
• The Heavy takes a starring role in Telltale Games' Poker Night at the Inventory; players can unlock the Iron Curtain for use in Team Fortress 2 by beating him in a special round. In addition to being one of the 4 main characters, the Heavy makes appearances in two of the unlockable card decks. In the "TF2" card deck, he appears as the King card for both of the red suits - diamonds and hearts - and in the "Poker Night" card deck, he appears as the King of Diamonds.

• The Gunner class of Monday Night Combat has a promo item resembling the Heavy's ammo belt, named "Bavcon".
  • The name "Bavcon" comes from bandolier, the type of ammo belt that Heavy wears. Bacon is a running gag throughout Monday Night Combat.

• John Henry was hired as the first BLU team Heavy.
• Heavy posted his first blog post on April 7, 2011 while Soldier was on jury duty.
