Armor type: Heavy
Speed: 76%

The Heavy Weapons Guy is a playable class in Team Fortress Classic and one of the main antagonist of the Mann Co No More. He is noted for his large size and is outfitted with Heavy Armor. The Heavy Weapons Guy is outfitted with a Single-Barrel Shotgun, Double-Barrel Shotgun, and Assault Cannon. For grenades, the Heavy Weapons Guy is equipped with two powerful grenade types, the Hand Grenade and MIRV Grenade. However, he is the slowest class in the game. This makes him a great defensive class as he can take many hits before dying and has enough firepower to quickly inflict significant damage. Players need to be careful with their ammo, though. The Heavy Weapons Guy only uses Shells as ammunition and the Assault Cannon uses them all up in 20 seconds.

Basic strategy

  • It is much easier to play offensively if you have a Medic, an Engineer or both with you, otherwise staying on defense might be a better choice, as offensive HWguys are frequently looked down on and the power of the other team's defense will have you dead in no time.
  • Remain in closed or partially-open areas, as Snipers will find you an exceptionally easy target due to your very slow movement speed and size.
  • Use your size to block doorways and other passages.
  • Improve your longevity by partnering with Medics and Engineers.
  • Keep your Assault Cannon spinning if you aren't moving.

Team Fortress

In Team Fortress, the Assault Cannon will not fire while the user is walking with its barrel spinning and it uses 7 cells to spin up each time firing.

Trivia

  • The Heavy Duty Rag from Team Fortress 2 resembles the "do-rag" worn by the new Heavy model.
  • The War Goggles from Team Fortress 2 were modeled after the goggles worn by the new Heavy model.
