A portly Russian bear, '''Heavy''' has the most health in the game, with a total of 300. Not only that but his primary weapon, the Minigun, does the most damage per second in the game at close range. However, he also has the lowest movement speed in the game, which is especially cringe when his Minigun is spun up. As a result, Heavy is often unable to chase down damaged enemies to finish them off, and he has a hard time dodging high-damage attacks such as [[Demoman|Demoman's]] grenades and stickybombs, [[Soldier|Soldier's]] rockets, and [[Sniper|Sniper's]] headshots. Additionally, he has no long-range options - he can only deal chip damage when not in close range. Heavy will most often be found near his team's Medic, as the extra 150 health buff lets Heavy block damage intended for his teammates, while simultaneously protecting the Medic from any [[Spy]], [[Scout]], or rocket-jumping Soldier that threatens him.

A portly Russian bear, the '''Heavy''' has the most health in the game, with a total of 300. Not only that, but his primary weapon, the Minigun, does potentially the most damage per second in the game. These come with two downsides. The first is having by far the lowest base movement speed in the game, 77% of the standard movement speed, which becomes 37% when his Minigun is deployed. As a result the Heavy is often unable to chase down damaged enemies to finish off the kill, and makes it very difficult to dodge high-damage hits such as the [[Demoman|Demoman's]] grenades and stickybombs, the [[Soldier|Soldier's]] rockets, and headshots from the [[Sniper]]. Secondly the Heavy lacks any significant long range damage. A Heavy will most often be found near a Medic, as the extra 150 health buff helps the Heavy soak up more damage for his teammates, while simultaneously protecting the Medic from any [[Spy|Spies]] or jumping Soldiers that threaten him.

In the standard 6v6 format, Heavy is usually an [[offclass]], used primarily for repelling enemies on the last point of a 5CP map. Heavy will take the Pocket Soldier's role when in play, allowing the Pocket to roam the map more freely, as Heavy is much more effective as a bodyguard for Medic. In close quarters, he can easily shut down approaching Scouts, Soldiers, and Demomen with his Minigun, keeping them from getting close to his Medic or the objective.  
+
In 6v6, the Heavy is considered an [[offclass]], used primarily holding last points in 5cp. Heavy will take the pocket's role when in play, allowing the pocket to play more of a roamer position, as the Heavy is capable of defending his Medic much better with his high health and damage. Heavy is capable of shutting down bombing Soldiers and Demoman with his Minigun, keeping them high off the ground due to his high weapon pushback. Alongside with these roles, Heavy also serves a purpose in tanking damage. Heavy is generally run at lasts where his team is at a Uber advantage as his health and knockback can help him tank.

In Highlander, Heavy is the backbone of his team's combo along with Demoman and Medic, who cover his weaknesses. Where Heavy excels in close combat and is vulnerable at mid-to-long range, Demoman is powerful in mid-to-long range combat and suffers at close range. He provides good high damage when pushing forward or defending objectives, but needs his team nearby to operate at his full potential.
+
In Highlander, the Heavy is the backbone force of pushing or defending objectives, outputting great DPS while being able to tank incoming spam thanks to his 450 health pool when buffed. However, as the Heavy is very slow, he is rather vulnerable without a medic to rely on for overheal and as a pocket. All players on the team should work around the two, helping the team secure victory.

|weaponname = Minigun
|description = The stock '''Minigun''' ("Sasha") is the second-most common Heavy weapon. It consumes 10 ammo per second, firing 4 bullets per unit of ammo, and each bullet deals up to 13 damage. After being spun up, it deals only 50% damage and has only 50% accuracy for one second, preventing Heavy from easily killing enemies when caught off-guard. The Minigun shreds overextending enemies at close range with over 400 damage per second, but suffers at mid-to-long range thanks its wide cone of fire. It is selected in maps with cramped corridors and little open space, such as [[Steel]].
+
|description = The '''Minigun''' is one of the staple primary Heavy weapons in competitive TF2. It is superior to most other primary weapons at close range, and is chosen in maps where close range combat will occur more.

|weaponname = Natascha
|description = The '''Natascha''' spins up slower and deals only 10 damage per bullet at close range, for a close-range DPS of around 300. In exchange for this significant damage penalty, its bullets slow enemies on hit. This slowdown effect is weak at medium-to-long range and rarely counteracts its reduced damage output, but may be useful as suppressive fire when preventing enemies from passing through a chokepoint. Also worth noting is that Heavy will gain a 20% damage resistance when spun up with the Natascha and under 150 health, making it somewhat easier for Medic to heal him.
+
|description = The slowdown effect of the '''Natascha''' is weak at medium range and does not counteract the opportunity cost of the damage otherwise put out by the default minigun, given that weapon spins up faster and affords higher DPS. The knockback due to getting hit by the Natascha creates a higher need for the Heavy to micromanage their damage output. If not intending to play the Heavy strictly for his damage capabilities, the Natascha's slowdown effect can be useful. Also worth noting is that the heavy will also gain a 20% damage resistance whist spun up with the Natascha whilst under 50% health.

|description = The '''Brass Beast''' gives Heavy a role similar to that of a Sentry Gun; he is unable to move while attacking, and unable to defend himself until his gun is deployed. While he can "set up" fairly quickly with the Gloves of Running Urgently, his utter lack of mobility in combat makes him useless for anything except standing near a chokepoint or objective. This crippling overspecialization makes the Brass Beast near-useless in competitive games. As with the Natascha, Heavy will gain a 20% damage resistance when spun up and under 150 health.
+
|description = The '''Brass Beast''' weapon further accentuates the Heavy's strengths and weaknesses, thereby making the Heavy even more of a niche class, as the Heavy is only able to be useful in a smaller subset of situations. The heavy becomes alike a Sentry Gun which is able to pick itself up and move (relatively quickly if paired with the GRU). It is never used when playing seriously. Also worth noting is that the heavy will also gain a 20% damage resistance whist spun up with the Brass Beast whilst under 50% health.

|weaponname = Tomislav
|description = The '''Tomislav''' is better suited to larger, more open spaces thanks to its increased accuracy. While it fires only 8 times a second, it deals more damage at mid-to-long range than the stock Minigun. It also spins up faster and quieter, and allows Heavy to remain on guard even while traveling long distances; he can jump, rev-up his gun, then un-rev if no enemies are nearby - all at near-full speed. When fully-spun up, the weapon is silent when not firing, making it useful for preparing an ambush. This makes it Heavy's go-to primary, and is only ever swapped out for the [[Minigun]] if the map is particularly enclosed or if Heavy isn't confident in his tracking ability.
+
|description = The '''Tomislav''' is suited to a roaming playstyle and is best paired with the Sandvich and GRU for higher survivability without a Medic. The weapon's silent spin up is useful for preparing ambushes, and makes the heavy more viable as a flanking class. The 20% increase in accuracy also gives the Heavy better long range capability. This is the weapon of choice for most competitive players and is only ever swapped out for the '''Minigun''' if the map is particularly enclosed or if the Heavy isn't confident in his tracking ability.

Otherwise, it has less staying power and less damage output than the stock Minigun, making it a rare choice in competitive games.

|description = The '''Sandvich''' is Heavy's go-to secondary. When used, it heals Heavy by 75HP per second over the course of a 4-second taunt. This is useful for saving Medic the trouble of healing him from near-death, or for roaming them map without a Medic. It can also be thrown as a medium health pack, which can save a teammate's life - especially a Medic. The Sandvich takes 30 seconds to recharge, but recharges instantly when Heavy picks up a health pack while at full health. This can be used to effectively convert a small health pack to a medium one.
+
|description = The Sandvich is extremely useful, allowing the Heavy to fully-heal himself with the 4 second taunt, saving Medics the time of healing 300 hp on one target and allowing him to roam more. Its secondary function acts as a disposable medium health pack, letting him heal lit targets, especially useful for pocket Heavies healing their Medics or tossing them near the team's holding position so any who are lit can get healed quickly without waiting for their Medics to tend to them. The Sandvich recharges when the Heavy takes a health pack at full health, useful for converting small health kits into medium ones.

On exceedingly rare occasions, it can be used to kill a Medic in two melee hits. If combined with the [[Fists of Steel]], Heavy has an effective 400 heath against ranged damage sources, which can force or drop the enemy Medic if Heavy isn't focused or airblasted away. Aside from these rare scenarios, however, it sees no use.
+
|description = The Buffalo Steak Sandvich is generally a downgrade to the Sandvich, since Heavy melees aren't strong enough to justify using them to kill people, but it has some use on long 5CP rollouts if the Soldier is doing a fast Gunboats rollout, unable to give a Disciplinary Action speed boost, and the Heavy has no Gloves of Running Urgently.

|description = The '''Dalokohs Bar''' is a tool for a roaming Heavy, as the extra 50 health it grants allows him to tank important damage thresholds like two uncharged headshots, three point-blank rockets, three grenades, and three point-blank scattergun shots. Because it takes only 10 seconds to recharge, it has an effective 6-second cooldown, allowing Heavy to regularly dispense small amounts of health to near-death players. However, it cannot be used to provide a large burst of healing to a Medic, making it less common a choice than the Sandvich.

|description = The '''Panic Attack''' is a community-created primary weapon for the Engineer, and a secondary weapon for the [[Soldier]], [[Pyro]], and [[Heavy]].
The Panic attack has a straight 20% damage penalty from the stock shotgun, but it fires 50% more pellets per shot, and deploys 50% faster. On other classes, it is used for combo-based tactics, but sees less use on Heavy, who takes too long to un-rev his minigun to make much use of the deploy speed. The Panic Attack deals more damage at point-blank range (108), but deals negligible damage past short range, thanks to its wide bullet spread.
+
The Panic Attack starts with 0 rounds in its magazine. Upon pressing and holding down primary fire, the player will begin loading shells into the magazine port, and will continue to do so as long as primary fire is held down. Upon releasing, the player will fire all shots one-by-one. Up to four shells can be loaded and fired in this fashion. The Panic Attack will automatically fire all the shots in the barrel if the player attempts to load in more than 4 shells. Compared to the stock Shotgun, the weapon loads 50% faster and increases speed switch by 50%. In addition, as the user's health decreases, the weapon's firing rate and spread both increase, firing faster shots at lower accuracy when at low health.

Its other drawback of only healing 200 health is fairly small; Heavy seldom falls below 100 health and survives; enemy players will often hunt him down and kill him. If he uses the Banana above 100 health, the effect is identical to eating the Sandvich.

His max health will be restored at 10 health per second when the gloves are holstered. The GRU allow Heavy to run as fast as Pyro and Engineer while deployed, but the further he runs, the longer he takes to recover. Additionally, holstering the GRU takes 50% longer, though this can be mostly negated by switching to Heavy's secondary, then his minigun. This weapon sees a lot of usage in Highlander, as it grants one of the team's main damage-dealers increased mobility during rollouts and when retreating.

The GRU allow the Heavy to run at almost normal speed (99.67% speed) while they are active. This weapon sees a large amount of usage in the Highlander community for the increased mobility of the main damage class in Highlander.  It is important to note that the speed boost provided by the GRU does not stack with speed boosts from items like the Disciplinary Action.

When deployed, Heavy loses 20 max health, which continues to drain by 5 health per second until he holsters it. Once holstered, his max health will increase by 5 health per second up to 300. The Eviction Notice is used most-often when the Gloves of Running Urgently are banned.

|description = The '''Holiday Punch''' is identical to the stock Fists, but when Heavy punches an enemy from behind (similar to [[Spy|Spy's]] backstab ability), they will be forced to perform the Schadenfreude taunt, regardless of whether or not they own the taunt. This leaves them helpless, allowing Heavy to finish them off with no risk of retaliation. [[ÜberCharge|ÜberCharged]] targets are forced to laugh as well;  Heavy can completely shut down an ÜberCharge if he somehow manages to "backstab" an Übered target. This is rare, and will get Heavy killed more often than not, making it a rare sight in competitive games.

|description = The '''Holiday Punch''' is a pair of mittens for the Heavy.  This weapon functions like the default Fists except for one mechanic: the Holiday Punch will always crit when behind an enemy (similar to the [[Spy|Spy's]] backstab ability).  All crits on the Holiday Punch do no damage, but cause the target to enter a taunting state for several seconds where they cannot move. This weapon is banned from competitive leagues as [[Übercharge|Übercharged]] targets are forced to laugh as well, effectively ending the Über.
