Some people think they can outsmart me. ... I've yet to meet one that can outsmart bullet.
The Heavy on battlefield strategy


A towering, ham-fisted hulk of a man hailing from the glorious USSR, the Heavy is, as his name suggests, the heaviest class in Team Fortress 2, boasting the highest stamina, the biggest gun, and the slowest footspeed. His firepower is highly impressive, allowing him to quickly mow down opposing babies, cowards and teeny-men in seconds. However, revving up and firing his Minigun brings his already-unimpressive speed to a snail's pace, making him an open (and very large) target for any enemy outside his range of fire. Though large and imposing, this makes the Heavy somewhat vulnerable on his own, but with his good friend the Medic at his back and a well coordinated team flanking him, he can become an unstoppable embodiment of destruction. The Heavy can even benefit his team in ways that don't involve bullets, fists and bullets. By periodically dropping plates of Sandviches, he can give his teammates a delicious and much-appreciated health boost.

The Heavy is arguably the 'face' of Team Fortress 2, appearing the most prominently in box-art and promotional materials as well as starring in the very first Meet the Team video and all following ones to date.

Bio

Meet the Heavy


Meet the Heavy

Country of Origin: Russia, Soviet Union

Job: Mow Down

Motto: "Shooting Good"

Emblem:


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 article: Heavy strategy
  • Hold Attack 2 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 the "MEDIC!" button to call for a Medic if you get hurt. Nearby Medics will be notified of your need.

Trivia

  • The Heavy is voiced by Gary Schwartz who also voiced The Demoman.
  • Despite the Heavy's constant belittlement regarding the size of his opponents and teammates alike, the Sniper is in fact slightly taller.
  • The Heavy's hands are so large, he grips the pump of his shotgun with only his thumb and index finger.
  • The BLU Heavy has been killed and/or horribly maimed in every Meet the Team video to date alongside an equally unlucky teammate, the BLU Soldier.
  • The original design for the Heavy had a mullet hairdo.[1]
  • The Heavy's minigun fires 4 shots per 1 ammo point and it takes him 20 seconds of non-stop firing to run out of ammo, meaning that "Sasha" only fires 2400 rounds per minute and not 10000 as the Heavy claims.
  • 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' and Khachaturian's 'Sabre Dance'.
  • The emblem on the Heavy's sleeve was originally a skull and crossbones.
  • In his HUD icon, the Heavy is not wearing his fingerless gloves.
  • In Meet the Sandvich, the consumption of just half a Sandvich allows the Heavy to punch out all of the Scout's blood.
  • The Heavy uses 'Super Caliber' brand bullets.
  • The Heavy with the Sniper are the only two classes carring fingerless gloves.
  • All the classes insults the heavy by calling him fat, obese and overweight then they are dominateing him except for the Soldier.
  • In the Russian version of Meet the Heavy, the Heavy is much more intellegent than he is in the other versions, this has lead many to theorize that the Heavy is very intellegent, but donst come off as so because he dosnt speak good english.
  • Outside of combat, the Heavy is actually quite calm, as seen in Meet the Heavy.
