Buffalo Steak Sandvich
From Team Fortress Wiki
| “ | ” |
The Buffalo Steak Sandvich is a community-made secondary weapon for the Heavy. It is a slab of raw rib-eyed steak, from a buffalo.
Like the Sandvich, the Buffalo Steak Sandvich can be consumed by pressing either the primary fire or taunt key. When eaten, it temporarily increases the Heavy's momement speed to 311 HU/s, roughly 35% faster than the Heavy's normal walking speed, restricts him to using only melee weapons, and increases all damage dealt and taken to Mini-crit levels. The effects last for 15 seconds. While the Heavy is eating, he makes a loud munching sound and the player is forced into the third-person view.
Players can use secondary fire to drop the Buffalo Steak Sandvich onto the floor. The primary fire effects are not applied on dropped steaks; a dropped Steak functions as a medium-sized Medkit that can be picked up by both allies and enemies. The Heavy cannot use his own Steak to heal himself; picking up a dropped Steak will simply reset the cooldown timer. A dropped Steak from another Heavy, whether friend or foe, can only be used to restore health and will not reset the cooldown timer.
The recharge time for the Buffalo Steak Sandvich is 30 seconds. The Heavy can instantly recharge the Steak by visiting a Resupply cabinet, picking up his own thrown Steak, or collecting any health pickup while at full health. Should the Heavy be killed while holding the Steak, it will be dropped as a collectible that restores 50 health to all classes but the Scout, who is healed for 75 health.

Update history
- The Buffalo Steak Sandvich was added to the game.
- The item was added to the Mann Co. Store, made craftable, and included in random drops.
- The Buffalo Steak Sandvich's speed boosting effect no longer stacks on any other speed boosting effect (i.e., the effect of the Gloves of Running Urgently).
- Added a plate model to be used when a Heavy throws the Buffalo Steak Sandvich. Previously, a Sandvich on a plate dropped when the Steak was thrown.
- Fixed players getting set bonuses applied on tournament servers when the server is restricting the player's weapons using the item_whitelist.
- [Undocumented] The crafting blueprint for item was changed from Sandvich + Crit-a-Cola to Sandvich + one Reclaimed Metal.
- Buffalo Steak Sandviches crafted with the previous recipe are awarded Vintage quality.
- Added new community contributed response rules to this weapon.
- Fixed an exploit with the Heavy's Buffalo Steak Sandvich
- [Undocumented] Fixed Buffalo Steak Sandvich allowing the user to switch to a primary weapon.
October 13, 2011 Patch (Manniversary Update & Sale)
- Fixed this item now having a cooldown when used at full health.
- Fixed touching a resupply cabinet removing the effects of this weapon but not the melee restriction.
- [Undocumented] Updated item so it will only resupply ammo if the owner picks it up after dropping it.
Bugs
- The speed increase from the Buffalo Steak Sandvich overrides the speed increase from the Disciplinary Action, so a Heavy hit with the Disciplinary Action will move faster than a Heavy who has eaten a Buffalo Steak Sandvich and then hit with the Disciplinary Action.
- The Axtinguisher will only mini-crit a Heavy who is under the effects of the Buffalo Steak Sandvich, regardless of whether he is on fire or not.
- It is possible to get the achievement Retire the Runner by killing a Heavy under the effects of the Buffalo Steak Sandvich, possibly due to the Steak having similar effects to Crit-a-Cola.
- Using the taunt key to consume the Buffalo Steak Sandvich while stunned has no effect; the cooldown timer will still reset. The same will happen if the player starts consuming the Buffalo Steak Sandvich via taunt key and then quickly switches to another weapon.
- When a player consumes the Buffalo Steak Sandvich, it is possible that no bite marks will visibly appear in the first person view; other players will still see an eaten Steak.
Trivia
- Instead of the Buffalo Steak Sandvich, the Peyote was originally intended to go with the Hibernating Bear set. However, playtesters thought that people might find a man in a Native American headdress eating Peyote and going on a rage-induced killing spree offensive. The Steak was therefore created as a quick replacement.[1]
