Meet the Heavy
HeavyVidSplash.png

A towering, ham-fisted hulk of a man hailing from the glorious USSR, the Heavy is, as his name suggests, the heaviest class in Team Fortress 2, boasting the highest stamina, the biggest gun, and the slowest footspeed. His firepower is highly impressive, allowing him to quickly mow down opposing babies, cowards and teeny-men in seconds. However, revving up and firing his Minigun brings his already-unimpressive speed to a snail's pace, making him an open (and very large) target for any enemy outside his range of fire. Though large and imposing, this makes the Heavy somewhat vulnerable on his own, but with his good friend the Medic at his back and a well coordinated team flanking him, he can become an unstoppable embodiment of destruction. The Heavy can even benefit his team in ways that don't involve bullets, Fists and bullets. By periodically dropping plates of Sandviches, he can give his teammates a delicious and much-appreciated health boost.

The Heavy is arguably the 'face' of Team Fortress 2, appearing the most prominently in box-art and promotional materials as well as starring in the very first Meet the Team video and all following ones to date.

  • You're a great Medic buddy. Keep a clear line of sight to your Medic to keep the Medigun on you.
  • Hit E to call for a Medic if you get hurt. Nearby Medics will be notified of your need.

Trivia

Zoom TF2-litho.heavy.jpg
  • The Heavy is voiced by Gary Schwartz who also voiced The Demoman.
  • Despite the Heavy's constant belittlement regarding the size of others, the Sniper stands slightly taller. The Heavy is in fact taller, but slouches more.
  • The Heavy's hands are so large, he grips the Sandvich, Dalokohs Bar, and the pump of his Shotgun with only his thumb and index finger.
  • In Meet the Scout, he holds his Shotgun with his ring finger on the trigger.
  • Excluding Meet the Sandvich, the BLU Heavy has been killed and/or horribly maimed in every Meet the Team video to date alongside the BLU Soldier.
  • The original design for the Heavy had a mullet.[1]
  • The "Mullet Heavy" can still be seen in the "Soviet Union" Achievement icon. His Hound Dog hat appears similar.
  • The Heavy's Minigun fires 4 shots per 1 ammo point and it takes him 20 seconds of non-stop firing to run out of ammo, meaning that "Sasha" only fires 2400 rounds per minute and not 10000 as the Heavy claims.
  • The Heavy claims that it costs 400,000 dollars to use the Minigun for twelve seconds (not counting windup time). That means it costs a entire 666,660 dollars to fire until he runs out of ammo.
  • The songs the Heavy may sing as part of his response rules include Mily Balakirev's 'Song of the Volga Boatmen', Chopin's 'Funeral March' and Khachaturian's 'Sabre Dance'.
  • The emblem on the Heavy's sleeve was originally a skull and crossbones.
  • In his HUD icon, the Heavy is not wearing his fingerless gloves, because it dates still from the TF2 Beta.
  • The Heavy uses "Super Caliber" brand bullets.
  • The Heavy with the Sniper are the only two classes wearing fingerless gloves. The Scout's handwraps are fingerless, but their classification as "gloves" is debatable.
  • Every class can insult the Heavy with "fat jokes" except for the Soldier, Medic, and possibly the Pyro.
  • In the Russian version of Meet the Heavy, the Heavy appears much more intelligent than he is in the other versions. This may suggest the Heavy is smarter than he seems, but doesn't speak English well. The Russian version also uses updated models for the Heavy, such as more defined ears.
  • Outside of combat, the Heavy is documented as quite calm.
  • If a Heavy is killed with his Fists out, he will drop his Minigun instead.
  • The Heavy treats his Minigun like a child, cradling it like a baby, and in the Russian version of "Meet the Heavy", calls it his "baby."
  • The Heavy's leaderboard icon is five bullets. However, the emblem on his sleeve and the Heavy token appear as a fist.
  • The Heavy is the mascot of "Heavy Gulp," a brand of drink sold in Left 4 Dead 2.
  • As of the (non-canon) Mac update the Heavy now has a (non-canon) blog, which is updated (in real-time) by his un-named replacement for his Minigun.
  • The Heavy, as well as the Demoman, are the only classes that wear any visible body armor.
  • The Heavy ties the Engineer, with the fastest Shotgun reload rate.
  • If the viewmodel field of view is 70 degrees, the Heavy's hand appears bent while holding the Shotgun.
    • Similarly, whilst revving a Minigun in this field of view, the Heavy's wrist disappears altogether.
  • The Heavy, Pyro and Medic are the only classes not to have class specific domination lines.
  • The Heavy appeared in a trailer by Telltale Games alongside Max, Tycho, and Strong Bad.
