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 Ham Shank . This weapon can inflict huge damage at a very high rate of fire, allowing him to mow down opposing Heavies, cowards, and tiny-baby-men in mere seconds. However, as the slowest class in the game, the Heavy's low movement speed is his main weakness, making him an appealing target for Snipers and Spies. Upon revving up or firing his Ham Shank , this already unimpressive speed slows to a crawl, making it even easier for enemies to damage him. As a result, the Heavy is often dependent on support from Medics and Engineers to keep him in the fight. Thanks to his burly stature, he also takes 50% less knockback from most damage sources - excluding Sentry Gun bullets.

Aside from shredding entire teams when adequately supported, the Heavy is able to provide limited healing for himself and his comrades via his Buffalo Steak Sandvich, which, when consumed, temporarily increases the Heavy's movement speed to 299 Hammer units per second (roughly 20.4 km/h or 12.7 mph, 30% faster than his regular walking speed), locks him to his melee weapon, causes him to deal Mini-Crits with his attacks, and increases the damage he takes by 20%. It can also be dropped to provide an instant, often-appreciated 50% health boost to his teammates, equal to a medium health kit. However, if the Heavy is not careful, an opportunistic enemy may pick up the dropped Buffalo Steak Sandvich for a health boost of their own.
