The '''Buffalo Steak Sandvich''' is a [[Steam Workshop|community-created]] [[Weapons#heavysecondary|secondary weapon]] for the [[Heavy]]. It is a slab of raw rib-eyed steak from a [[w:American_bison|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 [[Classes#Speed|movement speed]] to 299 [[Hammer unit|HU]]/s (30% faster than the Heavy's regular walking speed), locks him to his melee weapon, causes him to deal [[mini-crit]]s with his attacks, and increases the damage he takes by 20%. The speed bonus ''will'' stack with the [[Gloves of Running Urgently]] or its reskins, increasing speed to 310 HU/s. The speed bonus will also stack with the passive boost of the [[Eviction Notice]], increasing speed to the same 310 HU/s, but ''will not'' stack with its on-hit boost. These effects last for 16 seconds (although the buff actually lasts 18 seconds when including the Heavy's eating animation).

The '''Buffalo Steak Sandvich''' is a [[Steam Workshop|community-created]] [[Weapons#heavysecondary|secondary weapon]] for the [[Heavy]]. It is a slab of raw rib-eyed steak from a [[w:American bison|buffalo]].
  
Players can use secondary fire to drop the Buffalo Steak Sandvich onto the floor. The normal 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 Buffalo Steak Sandvich can be consumed by pressing either the primary fire or taunt key ([[List of default keys|default keys]]: {{key|MOUSE1}} and {{key|G}}, respectively). When eaten, it temporarily increases the Heavy's [[Classes#Speed|movement speed]] to 299 [[Hammer unit]]s per second (roughly 20.4 km/h or 12.7 mph, 30% faster than his regular walking speed), locks him to his melee weapon, causes him to deal [[Critical hits#Mini-crits|mini-crits]] with his attacks, and increases the damage he takes by 20%. If a player under the effect of the Buffalo Steak Sandvich has their speed increased by another weapon (such as by the [[Gloves of Running Urgently]] or [[Eviction Notice]]), their speed only increases by 3%, as the Buffalo Steak Sandvich caps Heavy's movement speed at 310 HU/s. These effects last for 16 seconds (although the buff actually lasts 18 seconds when including the Heavy's eating animation).
  
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.

The Buffalo Steak Sandvich is a community-created secondary weapon for the Heavy. It is a slab of raw rib-eyed steak from a buffalo.

The Buffalo Steak Sandvich can be consumed by pressing either the primary fire or taunt key (default keys: MOUSE1 and G, respectively). When eaten, it temporarily increases the Heavy's movement speed to 299 Hammer units per second (roughly 20.4 km/h or 12.7 mph, 30% faster than his regular walking speed), locks him to his melee weapon, causes him to deal mini-crits with his attacks, and increases the damage he takes by 20%. If a player under the effect of the Buffalo Steak Sandvich has their speed increased by another weapon (such as by the Gloves of Running Urgently or Eviction Notice), their speed only increases by 3%, as the Buffalo Steak Sandvich caps Heavy's movement speed at 310 HU/s. These effects last for 16 seconds (although the buff actually lasts 18 seconds when including the Heavy's eating animation).

While the Heavy is eating, he makes a loud munching sound and the player is forced into the third-person view. If the Heavy is interrupted while eating (such as by an airblast), the effect of the Steak applies immediately.

Players can use secondary fire to drop the Buffalo Steak Sandvich onto the floor. The normal effects are not applied on dropped steaks; a dropped Steak functions as a medium-sized Health kit that can be picked up by both allies and enemies (exactly the same as the Sandvich). The Heavy cannot use his own Steak to heal himself; picking up a dropped Steak simply resets the cooldown timer. A dropped Steak from another Heavy, whether friend or foe, can only be used to restore health and does 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 Buffalo Steak Sandvich, the ammo pack that he drops upon death instead restores 50 health for all classes but the Scout, who is healed for 75 health. The Buffalo Steak Sandvich weapon itself can be collected by other Heavies via weapon switching.
