The Heavy happily eating

Upon taunting with any of the Heavy's lunchbox items, the Heavy takes a large bite from his snack, spraying chunks of food from his mouth and loudly chewing. Once the food has been eaten, the Heavy will happily say a response before going back to work.

An item-dependent effect will occur from the first bite. When the Heavy munches on the Sandvich, he will gain 300 health for four seconds and the Sandvich is consumed. The Heavy must wait 30 seconds for the Sandvich to recharge. If the Heavy has full health, the Sandvich is not consumed and the player can continue eating indefinitely. However, a new Sandvich can be obtained by picking up a health kit while at full health or touching a resupply cabinet.

When the Heavy chomps on the Dalokohs Bar or Fishcake, he will gain 60 health. However, if the Heavy was at full health upon consumption, then he will have his maximum health raised by +50 for the next 30 seconds after the taunt. However, the bonus does not stack with the effects of the Medi Gun, Kritzkrieg, Dispensers, and Payload carts nor will it increase the Heavy's maximum overheal health. The health increase vanishes if the player switches his secondary weapon. The maximum health raise begins to decay after the 30 seconds at the same speed of normal overhealing.

When the Heavy devours the Buffalo Steak Sandvich, he will receive several buffs: movement speed is increased to 311 HU/s — roughly 35% faster than the Heavy's normal walking speed, all damage dealt and given are mini-crits, and the player may only use melee weapons for the duration of the buffs. The buffs last 15 seconds and are activated from the first bite, meaning that the player will take mini-crits even as the taunt is ongoing.

Bugs

  • When eating any of the consumables, no bite marks will appear visible for the player, yet other players may see a bite mark form. On occasion, the item will glitch and show a first person view of the snack bitten.
    • The Fishcake lacks a bite mark post-consumption model.
  • When scared by the ghosts on Harvest Event and Eyeaduct, taunting with any of the lunchbox items other than the Buffalo Steak Sandvich while damaged will not heal you, though the cooldown timer will reset.
  • Switching weapons mid-taunt via the quick-switch taunt will negate the effects of the healing lunchbox item. The Sandvich will abruptly stop healing, as will the Dalokohs Bar and Fishcake. The raise of maximum health will also cap at that level. The Buffalo Steak Sandvich, however, will not be negated.
    • Switching in this manner will reset the cooldown for the Sandvich and Buffalo Steak Sandvich, regardless of the amount of health available.
  • The Heavy's base HP may remain at 350 after consuming the Dalokohs Bar or Fishcake, allowing a self-overheal to 400 HP if eaten thereafter.
  • Dispensers and Medics using the Quick-Fix will only heal a Heavy under the effects of the Fishcake up to 300 HP, instead of the maximum of 350 HP.
  • It is possible to get the achievement Retire the Runner by killing a Heavy under the effects of the Buffalo Steak Sandvich, possibly due to the Steak having similar effects to Crit-a-Cola.
  • The Axtinguisher will only mini-crit a Heavy who is under the effects of the Buffalo Steak Sandvich, regardless if he is on fire or not.

Trivia

  • Consumption of any of the lunchbox items that heal will not extinguish Fire or stop bleeding.
  • Being killed mid-taunt will result in the player dropping his snack on the ground, leaving it free for someone else to take.
