The Heavy teaching his bird how to be intimidating

The Red Army Robin is a community-created cosmetic item for the Heavy. It is a team-colored European Robin that stands on the Heavy's left shoulder.

When players equipped with this item kill an enemy unassisted by another player, the killfeed shows everyone in Pyroland that it gets the assist, with its custom name if it has one.

The Red Army Robin was contributed to the Steam Workshop.

Trivia

  • The Red Army, or Workers' and Peasants' Red Army, was the army and the air force of the Russian Soviet Federative Socialist Republic and later the USSR, that started out as the Soviet Russia's revolutionary communist combat groups during the Russian Civil War of 1918–1922. It grew into the national army of the Soviet Union, and by 1930, was among the largest armies in history.
  • Originally, this item also included an alternative style which added a paintable bandolier around the bird, similar to the Heavy's bandolier, which was not added upon inclusion of the item. However, the textures for the Red Army Robin still has the textures for the bandolier and its bullets, and it's properly set up to be paintable as well, despite not being used in the original style. This is because both styles share the same texture.
