How to DOMINATE Saxton Hale as Heavy

it’s really impressive how so many of these “bad” weapons have seen incredible amounts of effectiveness in vsh. Of course there’s the eviction notice but there’s also soldiers with half zatoichis and scouts with the baby-face’s blaster actually contributing to the team in meaningful ways

[@ralphthejedimaster]

my favorite scout weapon for this is the force-a-nature because the knockback is really good at keeping hale away from you or your teammates, he can just never catch you if you play it right, especially if you combine it with sandman and bonk

[@simplysmiley4670]

NGL medics in VSH are less of a supportive class but more of a tank class then heavy ever is in this mode. Ubersaw and stock medigun is enough for a medic to juggle the hale around and force them to run away, waste his abilities just to get you away or waste a saxton punch to yeet you across the map. So having a lunchbox item to heal yourself when you got a bit of time to do so is pretty good considering medics are more concerned about the uber train then anything else.

[@RebelTrooperHoth]

Medic has a Hale resistance so he can tank a lot of hits. Battle medic is pretty viable for once

[@OmegaRC59]

That and Scouts tend to use Mad Milk so Medic isn't too much of a healer, he can focus more on ubers and damage than straight up heal optimization

[@OmegaRC59]

@@RebelTrooperHoth I can't even count how many times that has saved my ass lmao. Speaking of Battle Medic, the overdose is actually really good here too, while the crossbow is a very mediocre choice for utility in Hale. It's nice to get to use a different set of weapons for once

[@Thereal67P]

Yeah, the first time I played the gamemode I was the last one alive for like 3 or 4 rounds in a row. (as medic)

[@TheDuckyDino]

I was already planning on using the eviction notice against Hale for the meme, but the fact that it’s actually good in this mode is the cherry on top

[@milliondollarmistake]

I think you might be overlooking the shotguns too quickly. With the KGB crits you can dump all of your ammo before the 5 seconds is up which might end up being more DPS than what the nerfed miniguns might put out. You're a lot less vulnerable with the shotguns too. KGB+shotgun is underrated tbh.

[@martinpachu7125]

what shotgun,though? i imagine the PA might be really formidable at close range,plus with the quick switching you could make the most of the crits

[@ClassicRedEye]

Not a bad idea, might try and fat scout this

[@milliondollarmistake]

@@martinpachu7125 That's what I've been using but I haven't tried the Family Business yet. With the Panic Attack I've been getting a couple if thousand damage most of the time.

[@Doubl_Troubl]

Shotguns are really good in close quarters combat moments like these, esp if you're pairing them with the Holiday Punch or KGB which some players WANT to get close to Hale with. You should be able to dump all 8 shots using the Family Business with your crits btw.

[@jmerridew124]

@@martinpachu7125 The problem is the wider spread. I'm going to try this with the stock shotgun since it has a tighter cone and it's important to keep some distance from Hale.

[@JohnDoe-dd7ne]

Standard melee fists are also fun to use even still, since they still have the crit-knockback effect, so you can stunlock Saxton Hale. It also does better damage, since the Eviction Notice is reduced. Regular fists trade off the speed boost for more consistent damage, so it's fun to use either way.

[@RebelTrooperHoth]

Eviction notice does reduced damage against everything

[@GalaxySource]

Hey it’s me! I was the Saxton Heavy at 6:40.

[@Pudding404]

Big Joey returns, and I didn't expect that Eviction Notice Jojo reference. I can finally wear the Jotaro Cosmetic set in Saxton Hale mode, this is news to me.

[@absolutezerochill2700]

3:50 should also be noted that since Saxton will two shot you, the Banana will pretty much always get you to full, so if for some reason there are no medics in saxton hale (surprisingly common) use the banana

[@uningenious]

Don't forget scouts - they replace medics as your best friend here if they have the FOW and Mad Milk. Because scout has the fan o war and mad milk, he is EXTREMELY handy in VSH, because the mini crits remove the damage falloff, making the heavy's range ideal. If you're planning to do all heavy strats, have 2 - 3 scouts to constantly mark the hale and mad milk him, which will help extremely well with damage and survivability for the heavies.

[@uningenious]

Also a another important note: Most melees have a faster deploy speed in this gamemode, so using the KGB as a whole is ever so slightly faster to draw out your minigun, which gives some small benefits compared to normal gameplay.

[@Small_child_punter]

"Tiny man think him STRONGER than Heavy?!?" I like to think that in a straight fist fight, heavy actually can take Saxton. Its just that certain circumstances made it so that he has to gang up on him with 20 teammates and a minigun.

[@demiraykodal468]

I mean, he could probaby beat the fuck out of hale for days straight if he was covered in honey

[@ThunderXSurge]

Australium steroids

[@Cookie_Joe]

Heavy lost to an australium buffed TFC Heavy, which Saxton already has naturally, so he could probably take on Saxton the most out of all the mercs, but i don't think he'll win tho.

[@TeenWithACarrotIDK]

Apparently he was able to arm wrestle equally a non prime, but still a very strong Saxton hale. I don’t think he would beat him in a straight fight due to a few of Saxtons advantages, but it would be close, and with just a medic alone, in the lore he likely could beat Saxton.

[@CIA871]

Doesn't this mode kind of prove that Saxton is way stronger than any of the mercs?

[@fizz7710]

2:49 due to the damage resistance if hale is madmilked you can tank multiple blows

I had a lot of fun using the evictions notice and warrior spirit with the chocolate bar. Even if ws gives damage vulnerability, the bar compensates for it and the extra crit damage is very intimidating for saxtons.

[@luckytrap897]

I had the same thought with the warriors spirit + bar but is it just me or does hale still two shot you with the warriors? Even without chocolate

[@elitecombine5373]

​@@luckytrap897he does. If you do the math he does 202 damage with each punch and so in order for you to take more than two shots you would have to have at least 405 health. So you would need to get overhead from another medic to survive another hit. Just switch for something else.

[@TF-Boom]

Warrior's Spirit is actually pretty good in VSH. Hale will 2-shot you anyway so damage vulnerability doesn't matter that much, BUT: 1) The extra damage bonus is pretty handy 2) Health on kill (which is health on hit in VSH) can help you recover health after you took damage from the 1st first if you are very good with melee.

[@tsx-mx4sh]

Exactly! I've had way more success with these than any minigun! They're really good for anyone decent at melee

[@BrightPage174]

Fr like why wouldn't I want to be popping off 300s every hit if I'm still gonna die in 2 hits anyway

[@Bnvnu]

absolutely, i average 2000 damage by myself with those gloves, they're really good, and apart from the cheap damage problem (which you can solve by switching away from them when he does a splash attack) it's a fantastic choice for direct combat with saxton, the other being the kgb for combos with shotguns

bro if heavy had a melee that let him climb (even for just one hit) would be sooo good

[@calsalitra4689]

That would be a pretty cool rework for the Eviction Notice honestly. It gives it an identity separate from the GRU, gives Heavy an actual movement option, and is kind of justified by the spikes. EDIT: I'm interested enough in this idea that I'll actually theorize a way to make it work. Keep the faster swing speed and move speed, keep the health drain the same but ditch the speed boost on hit, replace it with the ability to climb walls. Hitting a wall takes out big chunks of your health which makes the slower health drain a - since you also get health back more slowly. If your health bottoms out you lose the ability to climb. Give the speed on hit to the Warriors Spirit since that weapon would actually benefit from that.

[@Dr_Dan_]

@@calsalitra4689 i think removing everything speed related would be better, to further distinct it from the gru. and just to be safe that it wouldnt overshadow gru

[@calsalitra4689]

@@Dr_Dan_ That would probably be better, honestly. My thought process was that I wasn't sure the ability to climb would be worth the loss of speed, but then the speed isn't worth using the weapon for so why keep it. In that case climbing would be the upside, faster swing speed facilitates this, losing chunks of maximum health every time you hit a wall that regens at the current EN rate is the cost, and lower damage is the downside.
