Revision as of 05:39, 15 April 2019

Due to the comedic style of Team Fortress 2 and Valve's humor, the game includes references, usually in a humorous fashion. There are many sources, including games, movies, and music; even jokes that have developed within the game and its community have been included. Below are references specific to the Heavy class. Many of these refer to topics relating to the USSR or communism in general, as the Heavy hails from the Soviet Union, a former communist superpower.

Kill 10 Heavies with The K.G.B.


Borscht Belt is an informal term for the summer resorts of the Catskill Mountains in Sullivan and Ulster Counties in upstate New York which were a popular holiday spot for New York Jews. The term Borscht Belt can also refer to the Catskill region itself.

Class struggle is the active expression of a theoretical class conflict looked at from any kind of socialist perspective.

Communist Mani-Fisto
Communist Mani-Fisto
Kill an enemy with a critical punch.


The manifesto of the Communist Party, often referred to as The Communist Manifesto, is one of the world's most influential political manuscripts. Commissioned by the Communist League and written by communist theorists Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels, it suggested a course of action for a working-class revolution to overthrow the bourgeois social order and to eventually bring about a classless and stateless society.


Crime and Punishment
Crime and Punishment
Kill 10 enemies carrying your intelligence.


Crime and Punishment is a novel by Russian author Fyodor Dostoevsky.

It is also the name of a documentary TV series, but it is unlikely that the achievement references this over the book.


Crock Block

"Crocket" is an abbreviation for a critical rocket.

The term also derives from the expression "cock block", a rude term for blocking a man's advance on a woman in some way.


Division of Labor
Division of Labor
Kill 10 enemies with a Medic assisting you, where neither of you die.


Division of labour is the specialisation of cooperative labour in specific, circumscribed tasks. Historically an increasingly complex division of labour is closely associated with the growth of total output and trade, the rise of capitalism, and of the complexity of industrialisation processes.


Don't Touch Sandvich
Don't Touch Sandvich
Kill 50 Scouts using Natascha.


This is a reference to Meet the Scout, where the RED Scout ate the BLU Heavy's Sandvich after a fight. The requirement to use Natascha may be due to Natascha's slowdown properties.


Factory Worker

The reference of this achievement alludes to Russia's industrialization during the 1920s, in which the majority of Russian workers took jobs in factories. This would also apply to the Heavy's location of origin, the Soviet Union, whom which the majority of 1920s Russia was ruled by.

Heavy Industry

Fire $200,000 worth of minigun rounds in a single life.


The description of the achievement might be referring to an often-quoted line from Meet the Heavy, in which the Heavy, while talking about his minigun, Sasha, explains that "it costs four hundred thousand dollars to fire this weapon...for twelve seconds."

Soviet industrial policy, and Soviet propaganda, placed great emphasis on the development of heavy industries such as steelmaking.

On both sides of the Iron Curtain, the states developed their own international economic and military alliances, COMECON with the Warsaw Pact on the east side with the USSR as most important member, and NATO and the European Community on the west side, with the United States.


Kollectivization
Kollectivization
Get 1000 assists.


Collectivization was a policy of Joseph Stalin in the Soviet Union; its goal was to gather individual land and labor into collective farms. This can be seen as an implementation of a Command Economy during the rapid Industrialization of the USSR from the late 1920s to the 1940s.
