Now Sasha - Don't be jealous
Natascha publicity blurb

Natascha is an unlockable primary weapon for the Heavy. Similar in appearance to the default Minigun, this weapon boasts a jet black ammunition carrier and additional chain belt.

Each bullet fired by Natascha greatly slows hit enemies for a brief period of time, but slows enemies down less if they are further away. In addition, the weapon, similarly to the Brass Beast, grants 20% damage resistance when spun-up if the player's health would reach 50% or lower after being hit. As downsides, Natascha's bullets are 25% weaker than those of the default Minigun and the weapon has a 30% increased spin-up time.

Natascha is automatically given to any player who obtains 16 Heavy achievements.

The kill icon for Natascha was contributed by NeoDement.

March 5, 2014 Patch

  • All mini-guns now have damage and accuracy ramp up after they start firing. Full accuracy and damage is reached 1 second after firing.

December 21, 2016 Patch (Smissmas 2016)

October 20, 2017 Patch (Jungle Inferno Update)

  • The 1-second damage and accuracy penalty now applies to the first second of spun-up time, whether or not the Heavy is firing. Previously, the 1-second damage penalty would only be removed after 1 second of firing.
  • Accuracy and damage penalties now reset when the Heavy spins down, rather than when the Heavy stops firing. This means if you stay spun-up beyond one second, and fire in bursts, damage and accuracy will remain at 100%.

Bugs

  • The attribute "-20% damage resistance when below 50% health and spun up" is incorrect, as the resistance applies if the Heavy takes enough damage to go below 50% health.
    • The attribute is also incorrectly listed as -20% damage resistance when below 50% health and spun up, instead of +20%.
  • The extra critical damage provided by a critical hit is not impacted by damage resistance, only the base hit.
    • The extra critical damage provided by a mini crit is not impacted by damage resistance, only the base hit.
  • When empty, the weapon's dry fire sound does not loop properly and cuts out after a few seconds.
  • If secondary fire is held down at the same time as primary fire up until 1 bullet remains, if the heavy taps primary fire the muzzle flare and firing noise will continue to play. This is visible by other players and in third person.
  • Diagonal movement bypasses the weapon's 40% movement reduction, causing its applied slow to do nothing, making the 100% chance to slow target attribute inaccurate.

Trivia

  • Natascha is referred to as both the "Minifun" and "Ludmila" within the game files.
  • The Natascha appears to be based off of the M61 Vulcan rotary cannon as well as the stock Minigun.
