The Heavy

The Buffalo Steak Sandvich is a secondary weapon for the Heavy and was released as part of the Hibernating Bear set. It consists of a slab of buffalo steak and serves as an alternative to the Sandvich and Dalokohs Bar. When eaten with primary fire it heals no damage, however using secondary fire will throw down the item similarly to the Sandvich, and it will function as normal by healing 50% of the Heavy (or an ally's) health.

While under the effects, move speed is increased, damage done and taken will be Mini-Crits, and the player may only use melee weapons. The buff lasts 15 seconds and brings the user to 311 HU/s, roughly 35% faster than normal walking speed. These effects are not applied on dropped Steaks.

Damage

None. The user gives and receives Mini-Crits for the duration. Also increases movement speed.

  • Buff Duration: 15 seconds

Previous Changes

December 22, 2010 Patch

  • The Buffalo Steak Sandwich's speed boosting effect no longer stacks on any other speed boosting effect (i.e., the effect of the Gloves of Running Urgently).

Bugs

  • Attempting to drop the Steak Sandvich will drop a normal Sandvich instead. It functions in the same way as a normal dropped Sandvich.
  • It's 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 the same effects as the Crit-a-Cola.
  • The lines that can be said after consuming a Buffalo Steak Sandvich are identical to those after consuming a Sandvich.

Trivia

  • The Peyote Cactus was originally intended to go with the Hibernating Bear set, but it was later replaced by the Buffalo Steak Sandvich.[1]
  • There is an entry in tf_english for an item called "TF_SacredMedicine_Desc", with the same effects as the Buffalo Steak Sandvich, implying the Peyote Cactus may of been renamed "Sacred Medicine" before replacement.[2]
