Heavy

From TF2 Wiki

Information

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.

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.
• Also, as seen in Meet the Scout, he fires his shotgun with his ring 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 wearing fingerless gloves.
• All the classes insults the heavy by calling him fat, obese and overweight when they are dominating him except for the Soldier.
• In the Russian version of Meet the Heavy, the Heavy is much more intelligent than he is in the other versions, this has lead many to theorize that the Heavy is very intelligent, but doesn't come off as so because he doesn't speak good English.
• Outside of combat, the Heavy is actually quite calm, as seen in Meet the Heavy.
• If a Heavy is killed when he has his melee out, he will drop his minigun instead.
• While many sources seem to suggest that the Heavy treats his minigun as a signifigant other, in-game he seems to treat it as a child, for example, his taunt of cradling it like a baby, and in the russian version of "meet the Heavy", he refers to Sascha as his "baby."
• The Heavy's leaderboard icon is 5 bullets however the emblem on his sleeve and the Heavy token when crafted is a fist.
