On occasion, it has the niche potential to two-shot a medic. The Buffalo Steak Sandvich is generally a downgrade to the Sandvich, since Heavy melees aren't strong enough to justify using them to kill people, but it has some use on long 5CP rollouts if the Soldier is doing a fast Gunboats rollout, unable to give a Disciplinary Action speed boost, and the Heavy has no Gloves of Running Urgently.

The Sandvich recharges when the Heavy takes a health pack at full health, useful for converting small health kits into medium ones. Its secondary function acts as a disposable medium health pack, letting him heal lit targets, especially useful for pocket Heavies healing their Medics or tossing them near the team's holding position so any who are lit can get healed quickly without waiting for their Medics to tend to them. The Sandvich is extremely useful, allowing the Heavy to fully-heal himself with the 4-second taunt, saving Medics the time of healing 300 hp on one target and allowing him to roam more. The Family Business's lower damage makes it generally inferior to the Shotgun and for this reason, it's used less than the shotgun (in competitive). The lack of spinup means it deals with ambushes better, although it has significantly less DPS. The Shotgun is useful for situations where the Heavy can't afford to slow down and use the Minigun - during transition plays and chasing down weakened targets. In Highlander it can be used for more aggressive playstyles- The damage bonus can be useful if a friendly Pyro can consistently ignite enemies-although it is seen as a gimmick and doesn't provide reliable damage output. This weapon is used by heavies who stick to the cart or to kill multiple people at once with its fire. The Huo-Long Heater uses ammo even when only revved up and not firing. This is the weapon of choice for most competitive players and is only ever swapped out for the Minigun if the map is particularly enclosed or if the Heavy isn't confident in his tracking ability. The 20% increase in accuracy also gives the Heavy better long range capability. The weapon's silent spin up is useful for preparing ambushes and makes the heavy more viable as a flanking class. The Tomislav is suited to a roaming playstyle and is best paired with the Sandvich and GRU for higher survivability without a Medic. Also worth noting is that the heavy will also gain a 20% damage resistance whist spun up with the Brass Beast whilst under 50% health. The heavy becomes alike a Sentry Gun which is able to pick itself up and move (relatively quickly if paired with the GRU). The Brass Beast weapon further accentuates the Heavy's strengths and weaknesses, thereby making the Heavy even more of a niche class, as the Heavy is only able to be useful in a smaller subset of situations. Also worth noting is that the heavy will also gain a 20% damage resistance whist spun up with the Natascha whilst under 50% health. If not intending to play the Heavy strictly for his damage capabilities, the Natascha's slowdown effect can be useful. The knockback due to getting hit by the Natascha creates a higher need for the Heavy to micromanage their damage output. The Natascha's slowdown effect is weak at medium range and does not counteract the opportunity cost of the damage otherwise put out by the default minigun, given that weapon spins up faster and affords higher DPS. It is superior to most other primary weapons at close range and is chosen in maps where close range combat will occur more. The Minigun is one of the staple primary Heavy weapons in competitive TF2. All players on the team should work around the two, helping the team secure victory. However, as the Heavy is very slow, he is rather vulnerable without a medic to rely on for overheal and as a pocket. In Highlander, the Heavy is the backbone force of pushing or defending objectives, outputting great DPS while being able to tank incoming spam thanks to his 450 health pool when buffed. Highlander Main article: Heavy (Highlander) Heavy is generally run at lasts where his team is at an Uber advantage as his health and knockback can help him tank. Alongside these roles, Heavy also serves a purpose in tanking damage. Heavy is capable of shutting down bombing Soldiers and Demoman with his Minigun, keeping them high off the ground due to his high weapon pushback. Heavy will take the pocket's role when in play, allowing the pocket to play more of a roamer position, as the Heavy is capable of defending his Medic much better with his high health and damage. In 6v6, the Heavy is considered an offclass, used primarily holding last points in 5cp.
