Natascha

— 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, but only if the player's health is below 50%. 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.
