That was delicious!
The Heavy on quality chocolates

The Dalokohs Bar, pronounced ʻDah-lock-ussʻ (CA, US), or ʻDah-lock-ossʻ (AU, IN, GB, NZ etc.), is a community-created secondary weapon for the Heavy. It is a large, partially unwrapped, segmented chocolate bar with the Team Fortress logo imprinted on each piece. The white-and-team-colored wrapper proclaims "Dalokohs, it's delicious!"

The Dalokohs Bar can be consumed by pressing either the bound primary fire or taunt key. When eaten by the Heavy, it will temporary increase the user's maximum health by 50 for 30 seconds, and will gradually replenish an amount equal to 100 health over a period of four seconds. If eaten while the Heavy is at max health, the effect from this item can overheal. While the Heavy is eating, he makes loud eating sounds, and the player is forced into third-person view. As eating the Dalokohs Bar is considered a taunt, it cannot be consumed in instances where taunts cannot be used, such as when the player is underwater. Use of the Dalokohs Bar when Crit-boosted has no additional benefits.

Players can use the alternate fire key to drop the Dalokohs Bar onto the floor. A dropped Dalokohs Bar appears as the Halloween version of a small Medkit, and can be picked up by both allies and enemies. The Heavy cannot use his own dropped Dalokohs Bar to heal himself; picking up a dropped Dalokohs Bar will simply reset the cooldown timer. A dropped Dalokohs Bar from another Heavy, whether friend or foe, can only be used to restore health and will not reset the cooldown timer. It is not possible to have two Dalokohs Bars dropped on the floor at the same time; the oldest will simply disappear as soon as the second one is launched.

The recharge time for the Dalokohs Bar is approximately 10 seconds. The Heavy can instantly recharge the Dalokohs Bar by visiting a Resupply cabinet, picking up his own thrown Dalokohs Bar, or by collecting any health pickup while at full health. The recharge timer begins as soon as the Dalokohs Bar is consumed or dropped. Should the Heavy be killed while holding the Dalokohs Bar, it will be dropped as a collectible that restores 50 health to all classes but the Scout, who is healed for 75 health.

Bugs

  • Using Dalokohs Bar while the health is regenerating from Gloves of Running Urgently, Eviction Notice or Bread Bite can cause the Dalokohs Bar's overheal effect to stack.
  • The Heavy's base HP may remain at 350 after consuming, allowing a self-overheal to 400 HP if eaten thereafter.
  • If the Dalokohs Bar is the active weapon during Humiliation, it can still be thrown by using alternate fire, and eaten via taunting.
  • When a player consumes the Dalokohs Bar, no bite marks will visibly appear in first person view; other players will still see an eaten chocolate.

Trivia

  • "Dalokohs" spelled backwards is "shokolad," the Russian word for chocolate.
  • When the item was initially submitted, it contained only a BLU team texture and a normal map. The TF2 Team removed the normal map and created a RED texture through a simple hue change. Since then however, the item has been updated to include new materials by the original author and thus this change is no longer present within the game files.
