Sandvich make me strong!
The Heavy on the benefits of protein

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.
