The Sandvich - in full, The Sandvich Edible Device - is an unlockable secondary weapon for the Heavy. It consists of two triangular slices of bread containing lettuce, tomatoes, Swiss cheese and an indeterminate meat referred to as both ham and bologna by The Heavy. Topping it is an olive pinned to the Sandvich by a toothpick.

The Sandvich can be consumed by pressing the correct bound keys for either primary fire or taunting. Using the taunt button will allow the player to bypass the .67 second delay when switching weapons. When eaten, it will replenish 100% health (300 HP) over a four second duration. During this time, the player will be forced into the third-person view as the Heavy becomes completely immobile and emits loud munching noises. The healing given by the Sandvich does not extinguish fire, but will extinguish fire when you use alt-fire and pick up the Sandvich. As of a recent update, Heavies are only allowed to constantly eat a Sandvich without a cooldown if they have full health. If any damage was sustained before eating the Sandvich, the cooldown timer will take effect. As eating the Sandvich is considered a taunt, it cannot be consumed whilst underwater. When eaten, critical Sandviches deliver no additional benefits.

A generous Heavy can use the alternate fire to drop the Sandvich ahead of him for teammates to pick up, healing the collector 50% of their maximum health. Enemy players can also pick up a Sandvich dropped this way, healing them 50% also. The dropped Sandvich will only last a total of 30 seconds, or until another Sandvich is dropped by the same Heavy.

The recharge time for the Sandvich is about 30 seconds, unless one is collected from a Resupply cabinet or a Medikit while at full health. Note that this time is from when you drop the Sandvich, or begin eating, not when you finish eating. Should the Heavy be killed whilst holding the Sandvich, it will be dropped as a collectible for 50 health (75 for a Scout).

The Sandvich is automatically given to any player who obtains 10 Heavy achievements.

Bugs

  • When eating the Sandvich, no bite marks will appear visible for the player, yet other players will see a bite mark form. On occasion, the Sandvich will glitch and show a first person view of a bitten Sandvich.
  • While at full health, picking up dropped medkits from slain players (either in Medieval Mode or from those killed by the Candy Cane) will not restore your Sandvich.

Trivia

TF Industries' Sandvich Edible Device user manual
  • The Sandvich was first introduced to the community in the Meet the Scout video, months before it was released as an in-game item.
  • In the Meet the Scout video, the Heavy's Sandvich-eating is interrupted by an enemy Scout, who kills the Heavy with his Bat before eating the Sandvich over his corpse. The fact that, when a Scout eats the Sandvich of an enemy Heavy he has killed, he recovers more health than any other class would could be taken as a nod to the item's original inspiration.
  • If players enable high quality world models (mp_usehwmmodels 1 in console), the Sandvich model will appear to have a bite taken out of it.
  • The user guide for the Sandvich contains a typo. The word "Health" relating to the cheese and dairy group is misspelled. This is corrected in the actual poster available through the Valve Store.
  • The Sandvich received its own bio with the release of the Meet the Sandvich video, despite not being a playable class.
