The Heavy

Nomming is an ability taunt for the Heavy that can be performed with the Sandvich, Robo-Sandvich, Buffalo Steak Sandvich, Dalokohs Bar, Fishcake, or Second Banana as the active weapon.

Upon pressing either the primary fire or taunt button (default keys: MOUSE1 and G, respectively), the Heavy takes a bite of his lunchbox item and noms it audibly. Whether the weapon's effects are applied during or after the taunt depends on the weapon.

  • Sandvich and Robo-Sandvich: restores 75 health per second (for a total of 300 health) during the taunt.
  • Buffalo Steak Sandvich: after the taunt, the Heavy gains a speed and a Mini-Crit boost, but is forced to melee only and takes 25% more damage.
  • Dalokohs Bar and Fishcake: restores 25 health per second (for a total of 100 health) during the taunt and adds an extra 50 max health after the taunt.
  • Second Banana: restores 50 health per second (for a total of 200 health) during the taunt.

This taunt cannot be performed during humiliations and stalemates.
