I've been playing Team Fortress 2 since 2007, and I've always been under the impression that heavy is just really really boring. Tf2 is a movement game. There's so many ways, like rocket jumping, to go so high and so fast, even as classes that you wouldn't necessarily expect
So I decided to challenge myself to only play heavy for 1 week...
The trick was to just play flank heavy.

9:15 I main Quick Fix Medic, if that helps
I really don't like the idea of pocketing somebody because A) do I really wanna bet my life on some random guy I don't know? and B) I've had to fight pockets and _damn_ it's not fun; don't do to others what you don't want done to you, right?
@@ED-gw9rg what if the situation calls for it? if it's the right thing to do to secure a win?
In my opinion Heavy is the most underrated class, like yeah it's not super flashy or anything but it's so fun to just walk to a point w/ a medic and shred the enemy team
to be honest, i do play heavy a lot, alongside pyro and enginner, i prefer the slower moving heavy over fast Scout, as my aim is mainly used to Heavy
@@americaonline3835 that's called tracking
And then immediately die to sniper
@@outhander3941 Or spy.... damned spies... (could perhaps be I say that 'cos I'm just terrible at playing spy.. or something)
@@outhander3941 relatable
That uber save from that medic at 13:14 was shnasty dude 💀
true

gave me happy
Denied
BLOCKED ONCE MORE RAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH
my least favorite thing about heavy are medics thinking its a good idea to crossbow you at close range and miss because theyre too stupid to use the beam and you die from lack of healing
My 700ish hours in medic keep my heavy buddy alive when we play. Granted at times I have to do the thinking, he gets into the mind of Heavy a little too well.
My favourite thing is medics wanting to recreate meet the heavy and pocketing you over your whole team in need x)
As someone who has 500 hours on this god damn class, I promise there IS a lot of fun to be had with this Hunk of Russian love. Thanks for making a video to share some of the best aspects of Heavy.
Just gotta be creative.
Not everything needs to be a projectile airshot to be fun.
Nor do you need a Kritzkrieg so far up your Soldier arse 24/7, that the enemy can see the heal beam coming out of your mouth.

I think the most annoying part about playing as Heavy (for me at least) is that you can't do shit to counter Snipers. The biggest problem I have with fighting them as Heavy is trying to actually kill them. Because of how tf2 works, both range and damage fall off are working against you. With any hitscan weapon, you do less damage at further ranges, and random bullet spread can REALLY mess you up with aim. And when you mix both of those things into a class that has next to no movement options, you're basically fucked when dealing with Snipers, because unlike every other hitscan based class, Sniper is neither affected by range or random bullet spread, and pretty much only takes chip damage from Heavy
It's situations like these that actually make me run a shotgun more and more just so I have a chance to cross the sightline if I really, really need to.
Most classes are fucked against sniper. Maybe, just maybe, sniper is overpowered
a cool item would be like maybe a helmet that replaces ur secondary and breaks after 2 shots or something
As a long time ago heavy main, you can crouch spam to counter snipers just for a bit, take into account you cant crouch spam indefinitely as they can wait for you to stand up and take an easy shot, i suggest you do it at random intervals to throw off their timing, along with using your strafe keys to make it even harder for them to kill you, just know that getting out of the sightline is obviously the best choice on this, but you can tapfire the sniper with tomi from afar to damage him in hopes of throwing him off, sometimes works, sometimes doesnt, let me tell you that. Also, you can use fists of steel to run away, combine jump and crouch with strafing, eved some experienced snipers had some trouble hitting me, atleast in my case.
To be fair, sniper counters literally everything.
As a heavy main myself, snipers are extremely annoying especially when they just don't let you play the video game, but this problem isn't just for heavy, any class at all can get destroyed by a sniper even at close ranges.
Heavy's a really hard sell for me based on everything you mentioned, he's like exclusively a friendly pick for me now lmfao. But I do have rare fond memories of going godlike with him and feeling powerful, so maybe I'll take your jug strat to heart and start going dipshit mode with him sometimes, could be fun! Great video :)
Trust me, all you have to is jug, and it's a whole new game.
Playing heavy the normal way is literally 75% less fun
@@htwo1I love heavy so I disagree but am glad there's a way you can enjoy it
I have honestly not played tf2 in probably 8 or 9 years but this video has kind of made me want to return to it
I'm doing my part!
And I’m new player and I’m loving the heavy
I would consider myself to be an experienced heavy main and this is the playstyle I developed over 3 years. Finally someone found the real way to play heavy.
Lol
Heavy is the most “it ain’t much, but it’s honest work” out off all of the classes
Heavy is rarely played because he’s designed too heavily around being a team player in a game where most people don’t care about their teammates. If you do, good for you. But in my 4k hrs, it rarely happen and numbers don’t lie either. There are so many things that’s a threat to heavy that nullify his massive health pool.
Medic is also a teamplayer, yet Heavy is being picked even less... Why?
@@giahuynguyenkim6389Medic was designed to be the most important class in the game by far. If even one person plays medic while the other team doesn't have one, the team with the medic will win most of the time. Heavy is optimal when surrounded by his team, but it never really happens in casual except in King of the Hill and Payload from my experience.
Heavy is not about "flashiness" - he is about holding together the team he is with, and utterly destroying anything in their way as they push out - slowly, but steadily
And while he can definetly "work" (and often die) solo like a demoman or a soldier, he will do way better with his team supporting him, and him supporting them
It's about winning, not being cool for the sake of being cool - if you're good at heavy, you can carry your team and barely even notice, because you're too busy being an unstoppable powerhouse
it feels so satisfying seeing someone else have a blast as heavy using the playstyle that i use and the loudout i use, glad you like heavy now
I DO THE ONE WAY DOOR BACK STRAT TOO
"every heavy lives for the moment where they just say 'fuck it' and blindly jump a corner into the enemy team."
There's no more exhilarating class to get a massive killstreak as Heavy; it just feels fair and epic
the "look away with your minigun revved so they assume you're not looking and open the one-way door" tech is legitimately hilarious
Uncle Dane: "dis-appoint..."
Htwo: "I know, Dane. I know you were disappointed that I couldn't be a sentry gun."
Uncle Dane: "No... no no. I'm disappointed that you tried."
Local madlad learns to play Heavy by giving it the most mobility it can ever get.
heavy is pretty good, his only big weaknesses are snipers, spys, good scouts, direct hit, flare guns, vaccinator medics, level three sentries, and having no medic
Aw, dude c'mon! You're givin away our trade secrets!
Also damn, if I had known playing only heavy for like...years is video worthy, I should throw my hat in eh
heavy is basically just a mall cop with military clearance.
I just started playing TF2 again after I took a break for many years and I main Heavy and I always end up on #1 position in games (but I make sure to always have a medic besides me). I was always under the impression that Heavy was the best character since I always finish in top 3 lol and when I have a medic by my side I unleash hell.
17:17 Now that's just beautiful. A duo of Tomislavs wreaking havoc on the enemy; a synergy of fire and death. Lovely.
Hearing you laugh with glee is the best advertisement to play heavy.
My favourite part of playing heavy is absolutely destroying soldiers who dare rocket jump at you
As a heavy main I can agree he has his limits and counter picks but, he can be a real power house when played right and with a decent team with you. I love to play aggressive as hell with him sure I may die in an instant or half way through my push but, once in a while I some how kill a group of enemies without a medic mind you with me, and after something like that time for a sanvitch.
I cannot count how many times I’ve caught out a spy by just turning around when I’m shooting at someone else or when the enemy team pushes. Don’t even need to let off M1.
Heavy's actually one of my most played classes. I think the most rewarding thing about playing him is you can usually top score if you get good enough.
Holy shit that lightning gun reference hit hard, wanted to play Quake 3 on ffa recently and i got absolutely rolled by people who use the lightning gun. It's insane how good people can get. Good video!
I use it as a reference all the time when i'm playing tf2 with friends.
"that heavy has 100% lg he's crazy"
I think that's why I find Heavy (and Engi) so fun on lower player counts. When there's nobody to stop you from just waltzing into the backline.
18:36 For anybody new to Heavy, make sure to turn off mouse acceleration. Really helps with tracking
One time I make the same (not one week but yeah some days) and I I understood how Heavy works, and was kinda difficult more considering I'm a main Scout, and Heavy is kinda all the opposite in all ways, but I really enjoyed play with Heavy, and now I can say that the Russian man is really fun to play.
17:47 rare image of a reflected rescue ranger bolt kill
I hear people say that heavy is boring because all you doo is walk around and gun people down. But if im picking the giant russian man with a mini gun...thats exactly what i want to do. And im gonna enjoy doing it too
I think heavy can be a lot of fun if you’re willing to experiment. The meta heavy is pretty straight forward, so play outside of the meta. My personal loadout is the brass beast, family business, and either stock fist, KGB, or fists of steel.
Heavy has been my main for years, engie is the only other class that could even be considered a main, but heavy has always been my mainstay.
psa to heavy mains: you dont need to main heavy to be quirky and unique. The sunk cost fallacy is escapable, you can pick someone actually fun if you want to
Big joey also tested the tomislav against the stock mini gun, only time the mini gun killed first was pointblank full-reved and even then when just 2 steps away the tomislav wins again. so another big tip is the tomislav is heavy's BEST gun in most situations
Well thats for raw dps on a stationary target. The wider spread of stock means aiming is a bit more forgiving on faster classes or against players with better movement
@@htwo1 true, but if you can track them well enough it's worth the switch right?
My favorite heavy loadout is kgb shotgun minigun. It seems the popular opinion is that sandvich is mvp secondary, but if you can manage a kgb kill you get about two to three full crit shotgun blasts which is enough to ruin literally anybody's day if you whiff half the pellets. Incredibly devious, and since random crits are usually off most people forget full crits exist.
Heavy is one of my favorite classes because one I always seem to get 3 meds on me all times and two I just play "roamer" heavy and go in behind the enemy and get a 6 bomb legit so much fun
The reason that heavy is the least played class is that the way of the bullet is not for the faint of heart
few men are smart enough for bullet
"It would be so easy to just-" *displays moderately advanced Demo movement*
This was me 4-8 hours every day a week for a total of at least 1,00 hours.
Most of the tricks people do with heavy, do virtually nothing and you start to realize they may not actually play heavy all that much.
Biggest tip I could give people is learn to play very twitchy. If you don't have someone accusing you of aimbotting because of how often and sharply you snap your aim, you aint playing heavy right.
At higher skills levels the only class you should really be scared of is Scout. A Scout who knows what he's doing will destroy you in most situations. Be mindful of corners, an Engineer with a shotgun can destroy you with it. Watch your health, a Heavy at 100 health is basically useless. Remember you fire your minigun from your head, in other words try to keep as little of your body exposed as possible. Heavy also requires patience sometimes. You're very slow at everything and just about any class can kill you if they catch you out in the open. The GRU gives you an option to play a bit more aggressively though. A lot of Heavy gameplay is kind of territorial control. You post up your big white ass in a contested area and try to keep it locked down. A medic may uber you, in fact they probably will. But, keep in mind you're probably the last class they should in most situations. A demo or a Soldier or hell even a pyro depending on the context is better.
Tomislav is not the objective superior Minigun, In fact the more time I played heavy the more often I found myself not using it. Tomislav is good for things at far to mid-range, but at closer ranges it's accuracy becomes a downside. It doesn't fire fast enough nor it is accurate enough to be useful. When a scout is jumping all over your head or medics and spies are bumrushing you with melee at close range, you're going to wish you had the faster fire rate and looser spread of the minigun.
When you're firing at someone always snap behind you every second or so. If you have the health and ammo, don't even stop firing when you do snap behind. Most of the time when a spy goes in for the backstab, it's when you're distracted fighting someone, not when you're moving.
When you move, you'll probably learn how to bunny hop quickly. What I do is a sort of 180 hop forward. I jump looking forward, then the next jump I jump forward looking backwards. You get a little bit of a speed boost, but honestly it's mostly just for pyro and explosive classes or sentries. When you jump into them and they fire, you can usually just surf off it and instinctively when a soldier or demo sees a heavy at Point blank they fire, pyros are a toss up. Newer pyros will just M1, better pyros will airblast and try to run around a corner.
Spies and Medics are really only a problem if they get in close. If a Medic is pushing in on you, chances you aren't at at full health. If they have their melee out that's when you need to panic two things are probably going to happen: 1.) Due to your size and slow speed, they'll probably hit you. 2.) if they do hit you, it will probably be a crit. IF you aren't at full health that could be game over.
Spies are an issue because of Face-stabs. Most of the time the most dangerous position for spies to be is not behind you, but directly in front of you. All the times I've been backstabbed as heavy, most of them were some degree of a face stab.
But honestly the main class you're going to want to fear is scout.
Snipers can be, and should be, but they're far more situational then a Scout. Just figure out where the sightlines are and don't contest the area in front of them without an uber. Personally I found myself checking the kill feed often. If I knew for a fact the enemy sniper was dead or moved to a completely different place, I'd push forward into the sight line.
Depending how your aim is with the shotgun and if you have enough time to swap to it, it might actually be better to use it in a heavy on heavy fight just because you have more mobility.
Sandwiches are dependent on playstyle. Stock is perfectly acceptable, but I found myself favoring the Dalokhas. 50 health might not sound like much, but it can be a real game changer in clutch situations. A heavy on heavy fight can often come down to who has the most health and who started firing first. The Dalokhas tips the odds in your favor.
Pay attention to your health. If you get below 100, I'd just run. assuming you can.
Situation awareness is paramount. A lot of times I'd find myself not really paying attention to what I was firing at and more watching what was going on around me. It sounds weird but as a Heavy I don't technically have to be on you like a hawk to kill you. Suppressing fire is one way I'd play.
Hes my main. I was never that big on mobility. I dont mind trading movement and adaptability for being an absolute stop in one area. A buffed heavy is basically a god in some instances.
I've always wondered how to make Heavy more playable and fun class, so the only things that came into my mind was:
1) Let Heavy use 4-th slot, so his ability to move this slow would be explained, while still providing f2p Heavies to keep up the pressure without a Medic. Basically, he would use Primary, Secondary, Melee and Sandwiches slot at once.
Like, I WANT TO BE BY MYSELF, because of that I'm a Spy-main and hate playing Heavy, cos Heavy requires OR to have a perfect knowledge of all maps you're running into OR a Medic what has enough brains to stay BEHIND me and watch for Spies if I'm busy. Yeah, Spies and Snipers are real threat to me, but I don't want to be this class, that always slowly approaching a medium health kit after fighting one person. Makes me thing of such weapon, that could make Heavy regenerate his health like Medic.
2) Just give him more Miniguns with new mechanics, while fixing and rebalancing his old non-use guns as well. TF2 Classic made that already a thing.
3) Balance Heavy out. His guns, sandwiches and melees has unique utilities already, but half of them suck.
9:16 you didn't have to call me out like that 😢
Another tip as Heavy: You are fucking king on payload. Just sit behind the cart, keep it between you and the enemy and never stop firing. *NEVER. EVER. STOP. FIRING*
I always enjoyed Heavy a lot more on Halloween maps where you can use your shotgun on pumpkin bombs to blast jump. Laughter in particular is great since after going through the portal for crits and invincibility, you can blast jump through the hallway to get to the frontlines while both boosts are still active, then hit another bomb to fly over the point with a crit boosted Minigun.
Heavy is absurdly useful if used at close range places against sentries, if there is an airblasting pyro (its annoying when you play demoman and soldier, get ubered and he airblast).
8:25 Heavy Highest DPS? LMAO
Me, a heavy main: Flank heavy isn't the normal way?
"if your crosshair is not on the enemy player, they don't take damage"
I kinda stopped paying attention to this game a few years back, and it's refreshing to see that youtubers can finally get to the crux of matters.
yes, that is indeed the difference between pyro and heavy, why one has historically been the target of "W+M1" memes and the other wasn't.
you still need to hit fuckers to kill them.
your initial point where you showed that even engi can be very mobile doesn't hold up cuz heavy can also use enemy stickies to jump lol
solid video tho!
I’m gonna go out and say it.
Huo-Long Heater? Underrated.
You get to play Heavy so much more aggressively by using that ring of fire to your advantage.
Jumping down on people from above has never been more satisfying.
And that ammo drain?
Sure it’s bad on paper, but it can be easily worked around, especially considering killed enemies drop ammo.
Don’t sleep on the Heater, people!
The reserve shooter and short circuit being in the cringe category is the telltale sign of a soldier main lmao
love the zelda boss music in 8:20 lol
17:46 REFLECTED RESCUE RANGER KILL!!!!!!!!1!1!!1111
That was a good ad transition lol
Great innovator! We needed someone like this in the tf2 community these days.
Nice! Started tf2 in 2008 at 15, now that’s childhood dedication!
Buffalo Steak Sandvich is actually a really good item, just...
Not for its intended purpose at all lmao.
Don't use it to go punch people, use it for roll outs on gamemodes like 5CP - and then when you reach the point you start treating it like a sandvich that you toss to your allies.
I really wasn't expecting to hear Calamity music lol
Alternate title Tf2:the most boring week ever
Honestly, the huo long heater is my personal favorite minigun, there's nothing quite like dropping down on someone, having revved up mid air, and then filling them with bullets as they are scorched.
the afterburn alone does 10 damage per second and in tandem with the pulsing rings of fire it honestly melts scouts who just don't care and just charge into you to land meatshots.
Oh also you can use the holiday punch to jump and stun light classes and then rev up to kill them without firing a single bullet, where they have to watch as they are burned to death for an excruciating couple of seconds
Is it better than stock ? Not necessarily, unlike with other options you actually have to pay attention to your ammo counter, but damn it's so much fun when you actually make use of the fire ring.
Playing an ambush heavy is very fun, and usually gives you a good k/d, love this playstyle the most, you don't even need any medics :D
Also damn, more mentions of Dalokohs tech...
The Jug is just the Nesting Heavy strat from Fatmagic
I once jugged and it was really funny. My team was getting rolled hard so I switched to heavy and flanked the enemy team constantly(whilst also moving 4 metres every kill so the enemy didn’t know where I was). I single handedly won that game for my team. The flanking jug heavy is one of the greatest things you can do
*"Is that Medic player procedurally generated?"* gotta be the question I never knew I was asking all along.
0:57 I have never related to another TF2 player so much. I remember when I was 9 and 10 just going on achievement and loot servers
"When you're fighting players, you can't just turn around mid fight"
Actually you can and you should. I said it before, but if you aint super twitchy and constantly snapping aim behind you, you aint playing heavy right.
As a rare heavy main for 750 hours by the name of Charlie Crabbo on steam, but just got bored because there is only so much I can do as heavy, I agree with most of your sentiments except for the huo long heater. I plan on going over it as a guide one day but the way I see it is that it's a weapon that is the antithesis of your jug playstyle. Probably why you dislike it but it encourages you to use your positioning as a weapon, if you do those things and pick up ammo from the deceased it works really well as a general area deterrent. Especially because the ring of fire is perceived as a joke, it's initial 12 damage does seem very small and it is but I think that's part of it's false sense of security and then when you hit them with your 10 damage a second afterburn and damage boosted bullets suddenly it's a lot scarier! (The burning bonus also affects afterburn) And the fact it's an area of effect also means it can get more people than may seem, now it is also perceived in the community for it being a failure at trying to be a spychecking weapon but think about it for a second that it would be absurdly op if we gave the highest health highest DPS class guaranteed insurance vs spies without having to think and still having a minigun, however I have found that if you actually look behind you every once in a while like a good heavy should and spycheck as if the ring didn't exist it actually does a solid job of giving you a dead spy on your hands especially since the stigma of heavies using it not knowing how to spycheck encourages spies to want to goofy ah kill pootis but if you know it's unique tricks it's actually a lot of fun and you still do really solid DPS better than the tomislav without burning bonus damage and only 20 DPS less than the brass beast when they're burning and you still have the positioning and rev time of the stock it's just really powerful and unique when you know it's tricks which is why it's my favorite minigun to use and concept wise not to mention the cherry on top if you team up with a friendly pyro, the ring of fire also helps ya play a game of hot potato with scout because they have to keep their distance or risk getting burned alive even harder but that puts them in easier mid range tracking distance and less scary meatshot damage so it's a win-win there too! I could go on but I've said a lot already, I'd love to hear any thoughts if you approach the weapon in a new light although I do understand the value of breaks as I'm on one myself but yeah very cool stuff man and nice to see someone understand that while heavy is not mechanically complex thinking outside the box really is what heavy is truely about and I love him for that.
Pootis engage is so incredibly good
god why is the music choice always so good
I will say this. If you do grab Shiela (Heater), be as god damn annoying as possible in the enemy's face. Cause of you can do roughly *650* damage a second at close range on-top of afterburn, let's just say that you become a Crit factory with enough enemies taking damage. Cause when you got the ammo and the health, let's just say an Uber push becomes different even if your team doesn't have a Pyro (cause that nice little stat on Heater? That nice little green stat on her that says 25% increase in damage towards burning players? Yeah. *IT DOES NOT CARE ABOUT RANGE* )
Exited for a new, definitely quality, video!
I'm happy with the sudden tf2 content here
I do play frontline Heavy, but instead of relying on my team, I try to enhance my team instead. So I use gloves of running urgently to get fast to where I need to be (usually the cart), then I use dalokohs bar for extra health because as you said, relying on unknown players is risky, including relying on unknown medics, and then I use natasha. It makes you even more tankier once you lose half your health (which will happen as frontline Heavy) but even though you inflict less damage on enemies, it slows them down. Which is perfect for when your team is around. It makes it much easier for let's say Soldiers to suddenly target Scouts and Pyros from further away. And you yourself won't be without kills since, it's still good enough for finishing off injured players. And the damage penalty isn't as bad for killing most of classes except for Heavy. But since most Heavies use Tomislav, you can still reliably 1v1 them and win if you get the first shot on them anyway.
Huge fan of the DKC Banana hit sounds. Lol
this is probably the only video ive watched where i could name every song played, good taste in games lol
Perfect description of my youtube channel tbh.
My takes might be shit but my taste in videogame ost's is crazy
Lately i been playing with other classes like soldier, demo, sniper, spy and all of them lacks what i search in tf2 and is being a tank, idk why but every other class i played feels like if i was a piece of paper, with heavy i also learned to be carefull of my enviroment to the point that i can't be backstabed or headshoted in the maps
the title says that in your entire life you played heavy for only a week
Heavy mains arent real
13:15 wow what a amazing uber by that random medic!
"Forbidden Jug Tech" is definetely going in the quote book
I use Huo Long Heater pretty much all time and I don't have the issue with it. It's minigun that you shouldn't rev up and If there is like enemy near you then It's just good to not rev up and shoot and It will burn the enemy If They try to melee you. + It's also good as defense weapon how Otaku Gaming Servers with Zombie Escape gamemode taught me but sadly no one is talking about Zombie Escape in TF2 these days.
As a heavy main, it’s cool to see other people just TRYING heavy. At all.
Couldn't endure a month, huh?
you've got to try speed heavy
you just need a friend going conch whip soldier who sticks near you and then you can use the gru to travel at the speed of a scout for short distances or when conch is active and you get whipped you can walk at normal speed while revved up with the tommy
Now You have become the Jug God himself
For the Hu-Long Heater, you'd usually want to play it when you have Pyros on your team. Doesn't matter if it's your flames or your Pyros' that light up the enemy team. As long as they are on fire, you'll get your bonus damage.
Tomislav is just a straight upgrade anyway because TF2 runs on a version of the source engine that cant process the fire rate of every other minigun correctly. Every minigun except tomislav shoots slower than its supposed to, costing quite a bit of DPS.
Isn't this a myth? I always beat Tomislav Heavy when I am in close range
@@giahuynguyenkim6389 As far as I know, the game is unable to process a fire rate of 10 rounds per second properly and instead makes it like 9.8 or something which is enough to make Tomislav sometimes beat the minigun point blank. If you are any further away than point blank, Tomislav is better assuming that both heavies have perfect aim
One thing I found out when playing Heavy, is that you naturally attract medics like moth to a lamp. Im there trying to backstab people with the Holiday Punch and can't get rid ot the medic healing me.
1:07 , that is also the case for training , so my like 250 hours of been dumb with engi aren’t counted
As a flank heavy connoisseur, i think you underestimated the value of stock minigun. Most pub players dont use their ears, so the noise inst really a downside, but the extra damage over Tomislav is quite useful in close quarters. Tomislav is a medium to long range gun, good in open areas. For close quarters, you want stock. I'll switch between the two depending on where im playing and which role im filling.
Brass beast is just a no go. With stock and Tomi, you still have enough movement to sidestep pills and rockets while spun up. Can't do that with brass beast.
Always been a heavy main, im just the kind of person that gravitates towards big powerful slow tank characters and playstyles. Something just hits different about walking out into the battlefield knowing you aint there for flashy kills or gimmicky frags...no no, you are there to whip out your big gun and shred the hell out of every sorry sap who comes your way, you are there to hear your gun fire repeatedly in glorious automatic fire, watch the shell casings fly and know you don't even have to worry about taking your finger off the trigger because you got more than enough ammo in the drum, box, mag or whatever your gun has to destroy every last person in the room!
Imagine doing this on something like CoD. Everyone would be screaming 25 slurs in 2 seconds and complain like a child that you're camping
Heavy weapons guy feels like Arnold Schwarzenegger in the kindergarten cop
Monke heavy, ork heavy (strange fists renamed to Monke Fists and print machete renamed to “Choppa” or a WAAAGH banner with the decal tool and conscientious objector )
Use the shotgun if you ever need to revv up at the open, it will give you mobility for taking cover from snipers and give you clear hearing for incoming spies. You'll still be reliant on Medics, but you have to be sure that they don't fall apart too far from the dispensers when you push. People just underestimate how a good fatscout with some accurate shotty fire can own the server. At the start of the round you may like Sandvich over any shotgun but when you failed to assault the entire team of pubs at their spawn, just go back to fatscout. You'll enjoy the Heavy more if you can position better for the combat.
"Consumes 4 additional ammo per second while spun up" simply translates to "Pack a shotgun instead of Sandvich for once, crying out loud". For Buffalo Steak, pair it with Holiday punch to stuff ubers or spies around your Sentry nest as they commit. Even though it's a good idea don't use Steak offensively with FoS as any Demoknight worth their salt would give you hell for even attempting it.
If MVM has the “money heavy”, then thus playstyle is surely the “funny heavy”
The thing on the Buffalo Steak Sandvich is not a hidden stat, it's just because of how mini crit boosters work.
im doing the same, for every class, ive completed a whole week of only scout every day for atleast 2 hours.
now im at engie because i was getting tired of going too fast, im doing this because i suck at the game and want to learn every class, since if i know what to do in a situation, i will also know what the same class will do when im playing something else
