The Heavy Weapons Guy, more commonly known as the
Heavy, is a towering hulk of a man hailing from the USSR. He is often considered the face of
the game, due to his prominent appearance on
box-art, promotional materials, and loading screens. He starred in the very first Meet the Team video, and has appeared in all further movies to date.
The
Heavy is the largest and arguably most dangerous class in Team Fortress
2 - boasting the most base health, combined with the devastating firepower of his trusty Minigun. This weapon can inflict huge damage at a very
high rate of fire, allowing him to mow down opposing babies, cowards, and teeny-
men in mere seconds. Being the slowest class in
the game, the Heavy's movement speed is his main weakness. Upon revving up or firing his Minigun, his already unimpressive speed drops down to an even lower amount, making him a very easy target for Snipers and Spies. His sluggish speed makes him more dependent on support from Medics and Engineers to keep him actively in the fight. As a result of his burly stature, he also takes 50% less knockback from most damage sources - excluding Sentry Gun bullets.
The Heavy is voiced by
Gary Schwartz.
I am Heavy Weapons Guy...and this, is my
weapon. She weighs one hundred fifty kilograms and fires two hundred dollar, custom-tooled cartridges at ten thousand rounds per minute. It costs four hundred thousand dollars to fire this weapon...for twelve seconds.
Oh my
God, who touched Sascha? Alright...Who touched my gun!?
Some
people think they can outsmart me. Maybe, maybe. I have yet to meet one that can outsmart bullet.
