[@stiky5972]

[@StickMaster500]

The only way I can see the Brass Beast being used is purely as a defensive weapon due to you have a slower spin up and movement speed but dealing more damage and more resistance and can been great on last points, especially with a Medic by your side. However if you have big balls and want to go on the offence, other than using the Dalokohs Bar for that extra health, using the Shotgun or Family Business is definitely a great option since you can fire instantly instead without any movement speed penalties rather than waiting a second to fire the Brass Beast or any other Minigun for that matter as by the time you’ve already revved up, you’ll probably be at criticality low health or even dead before you can even fire, especially if you round a corner and you face off against an enemy. Even with all of that, the Brass Beast definitely needs a buff but can be useful in some situations that you would normally die from if you didn’t have the Brass Beast equipped.

[@Ryusuta]

Shotguns (ESPECIALLY the Family Business) are just vastly underrated as Heavy in general; even by themselves. Some people think of Fat Scout as a meme and nothing more, but it can seriously be devastating.

[@kentknightofcaelin4537]

@@Ryusuta I agree. For Tomislav/Minigun, the Sandvich and Banana are probably still better, but the shotguns definitely still have their place.

[@Shoxic666]

Family Business is amazing for chasing down spies and fending off flank scouts without spinning up.

[@jspark8990]

Yeah generally the stock or Tomislav are beat with a medic or an offensive push but the brass beast and batasha are good for heavily defensive situations so a shotgun as a burst damage weapon while you get to position is useful I’d say the banana is the best cart heavy secondary due to its fast spawn rate and the constant healing from the cart making quick damage healing or putting out fires more important that a medium health pack The hou long heater though is suboptimal for most situations given the lose of ammo and no resistance if your on the cart

As a brass beast user Iwould recommend using the family business as secondary, in a 1 v 1 combat with an enemy the slow rev can get you killed before you can even shoot, with the FB, thanks to its 8 shots clip and its faster shooting you can take down an enemy that is approaching you while you're walking to the frontline, or even one that is running away from you

COME CHECK OUT THE DISCORD!!! = discord.gg/JWCSz2z Also, yea - when I made my first video on the brass beast, you still had to be shooting for 1 second for your damage and accuracy to max out. Sometime after, they buffed all the miniguns and made it so that you could keep your damage and accuracy boost by simply staying rev'd for longer than 1 second rather than having to keep restarting shooting for 1 second. The gun has definitely improved since and I no longer think it's the worst minigun.

I love this thing, it's the most beautiful thing for tearing up heavy med combos solo and holding chokes or even pushing EXTREME chokes (I'm talking triple sentry heavy med chokes). The damage is just enough to outweigh it's downsides with it's ability to push through any healing including quick fix ubers and sentries, ESPECIALLY with larger immobile targets, not to mention it's damage resistance is just an awesome feeling of pure power, like nothing can kill you before they get shredded. The ultimate defence minigun, although still a liability in larger open areas

[@giantmutantbug]

Another good strategy for brass beast heavies is to equip a shotgun and hold it out when moving to the front line. This will insure that you will have a secondary damage dealing option in case a flanking scout or whatever tries to ruin your day. If you think of your shotgun as your primary and the brass beast as a sort of fast deploying sentry to use on a choke point, it actually proves to be really effective in both offense and defense.

[@sussy3778]

Before the damage resistance was nerfed, the Brass Beast used to be my most used minigun, I even renamed it with a name tag, but now... is just... errrr.

[@rustlerv6549]

The gun needs strategy to work with and fast reaction time, when you spin around a corner and see a heavy+medic combo the few micro-seconds spinning up matter

[@ultimaterecoil1136]

Rustler V6 you should already be revved before any engagement anyway so that stat don’t matter. The only downside that matters is the slower movement speed lowering your ability to dodge. And if someone can’t hit a revved up stock heavy try to dodge them then they are too bad to be considered a threat anyway. Crouching is the only feasible way to dodge attacks as a heavy while revved ( trying to avoid getting headshot specifically)

[@sonofaquack6987]

Being a loving sentry on last with a medic and few snipers on the other team is a sure fire way to rack up those kills

I’ve just started really trying this thing out after around eight years of playing tf2. I’m in love with this weapon. Paired with the chocolate bar you have an effective health of 385. So you can tank way more, and also deal insane amounts of damage. You just have to use cover and buildings more often to ambush people and stay out of sniper sight lines. I’ve found spies are actually easier to handle with this thing because you melt them up close. It’s just huntsman snipers that you have to be super careful with

[@my9thaccount140]

This weapon essentially turns you into a Devastator Marine from Dawn of War 2. You have to be placed properly and you must set up before firing, but when your in a good spot there’s nothing that chews through infantry more effectively. Bring a shotgun or the banana depending on your level of confidence and your individual needs. The shotguns and the family business in particular are great for those times where you need to frequently relocate. While the quick recharge of the banana is great for recovering from the metric fuck ton of damage you’ll be constantly eating while reved.

When use the Brass Beast, I usually use it with a shotgun because it can come in super handy if I get caught off-guard and don't have time to rev up. I usually only use it when we have an engie as well, so I don't have to worry too much about health when there's almost always a dispenser nearby

[@TheSpyFromTeamFortress2]

ArmouredLemming the downsides are literally an increase on heavy’s downsides. If you can’t deal with its downsides you are a bad heavy player. You should be revved before an enemy approaches you since you are playing a defense class you shouldn’t be pushing except on a cart ( which brass beast excels at ) and heavy’s movement speed while revved ain’t fast enough to dodge any competent player anyway barring crouching randomly. Meanwhile it’s upsides are extremely potent.

BB No Med No Bar: 330 Effective Health BB+Med: 480 Effective Health BB+Bar: 385 Effective Health BB+Med+Bar: 485 Effective Health So the Chocolate Bar only others a 5 effective health improvement from not using it with a pocket med and BrassBeast, sense the bar removes 50 hp from your total overheal. But it offers a 55 effective health boost without a medic.

I can literally finish one piece before a heavy fully revvs a brass beast

[@thedrunkenslayer3348]

Beast’s real fun when your standing on top of the payload or turning into a heavy sentry which if you position correctly is SUPER fun. Also the guns underrated as all hell.

[@chipsdip10]

I like the brass beast

[@OlaftheGreat]

I actually recommend pairing it with the family business as it helps you when the slow rev would be impractical for close-range combat.

[@Doomed-pf5bc]

I actually like the Brass Beast and switch to it on defense more often then offence.

[@khangannguyen5256]

My heavy loadout name: Juggernaut Primary: The Brass Beast (rename: The Death Bringer) Secondary: The dalokars bar Melee: The Fist Of Steel

[@ludwigiapilosa508]

Frontier is a great map for the brass beast. As the enemy advances, you just move from one ambush spot to the next.

[@linear5695]

The Brass Beast + Chocolate Bar + Fists of Steel combo is easily my favorite heavy loadout by far. It's far from meta, but if you play smart, it's downright brutal. That being said, it's not always great for pockets, lol I was top scoring in a pub on Upward ages ago, and had a random medic pocket me halfway through. We were mowing through people until there was some auto balance and we were playing against more than just newbies. The one thing I remember from that match is me tanking a headshot with the fists of steel to make it to cover, pulling out the brass beast and mowing down a sentry before turning around to give the medic a chocolate bar. And he just looked at me and said "What the fuck is this loadout." in voice, laughing his ass off right before we both died to a crocket. I spawned, ate my chocolate bar and ran out the spawn doors with the fists of steel out, and the medic just said, "never change, heavy. That was magical." before disappearing into the aether. Fun times.

The part where the engie kept taking away the dispenser is literally me as brass beast heavy in most MvM matches.

[@coffee0093]

Brass beast is underrated and I think jump+revving helps alot making this gun feel more comfortable to use

[@cvvTF2]

1:55 scout dab 😂 😂

[@Kirk.Schr0dinger]

I think part of the reason people dismiss the brass beast is because they try using it with sandwiches. The weapon’s at its weakest when it’s the sole damage dealer, making heavy completely helpless for over a second. Shotguns take this away completely, giving heavy much more offensive freedom and mobility. I’ve top-scored on CTF servers before as a brass beast fat scout (not that that says much).

Tomislav fan Vs Brass beast enjoer

[@hewhowalksalone9220]

Watching the scene with the Engineer moving the dispenser so Joey can't use it, it made me imagine something; what if Spy had a weapon that would let him move buildings without damaging them instead of the sapper?

[@Soapromancer]

That's awful

Step one to using the brass beast: Dont move

[@plasmagunwh40k91]

Good to see a balanced review about brass beast. I played tf2 since 2012 and I used heavy a lot. I recognised this weapon cons but I still love it since I can out damage another heavy face to face if both of us had started to shoot at the same time. This weapon must be paired with krits media gun so you can see it's full potential. I wiped out two third of enemy team once while using and crit ubered brass beast One more thing you forgot to mention is the fact that this weapon is the best sentry killer

Personally, I see this as Heavy's Phlog. It teaches bad habits like necessitating a pocket or camping . But that's just me. Good vid Joey!

Why on earth would anyone play with the Brass Beast on offense, literally the worst minigun you can go for. It does wonders in defense like you said, but then the best secondary to have by far is the shotgun and you didn't even mention it

[@odd_bobble9106]

I’m gonna toss my hat into the ring and say that going with a lunch box item is a bad move, especially paired with the gloves of running urgently. You are going to want a shotgun or a panic attack for the “ what if” scenario like running out of ammo, too low health to use the gloves, or just to keep someone behind cover.
