We already spoke briefly about this on the Chucklenuts Podcast, but I think it's funny that we both seemed to have this brainblast around the same time. When I'm playing heavy, I have to deal with the fact that I'm always a sitting duck while firing my Minigun, the slow spin-up time allows ambushes to completely destroy me unless I'm constantly sacrificing my speed at all times to stay rev'd, the Sandvich being less useful when consciously playing around health packs and naturally being a heal target for Medics, low-health teammates being too unaware to know that I can throw them with a Sandvich and running away instead, and overall just being bored with the horrible meta that is Tommy GruVich... I decided to actually start working the Shotgun into my Heavy gameplay as a solution to all of those problems. And what do ya know? It works. It works REALLY well. My personal favorite iteration of this playstyle is to equip the Tomislav for the faster rev speed, the Family Business for the bigger clip size (I like to chip damage everything), and the KGB because getting free guaranteed crits from bopping someone with a final blow is just awesome, and leads to some pretty crazy snowballs. Overall, I think that the Shotgun is the best solution to the Heavy's biggest, and most underrated weakness: in order to do damage, he basically has to stop moving. In a game where movement is everything, that setback consistently sets him up for failure... but the Shotgun simply removes that weakness entirely.

That is also why I use the Sandvich; I want to deal damage, but heal my teammates, so my only options are Scout (mad milk) or Heavy (sandvich), and while I don’t want to seem selfish, but the mad milk just feels bad to use for some reason? I don’t know, probably because I suck at scout

I always preferred the shotgun because sometimes you just need a quick burst of damage instead of a consistent stream of damage. The sandwich provides support yes, but making a heavy more offensive works wonders. It also allows you to pick your targets more precisely. You can just quickly nab a medic that is retreating

It’s actually most the time a quick burst of damage is better then sustained it’s just that you can’t use a lunchbox item with a shotgun. Sustained fire is quite bad in such choke pointy maps and pyro out does the sustained dps with the panic attack degreaser loadout anyway.

But Medics can still be circumvented with good map knowledge on medkit locations. You can only rely on yourself mostly in TF2 so becoming an independent chad to flex on Medics is great

The trouble with that philosophy is that Heavy's whole thing is his ability to soak up damage. Without the sandwich, Heavy loses his ability to DO that job and cant recover that ability quickly enough to be effective like other classes can. Heavy should be able to equip both the sandvich AND a shotgun, since the Sandvich is key to his playstyle.

Fat scout is pretty much only threatened by soldier and sniper in a gunfight. Demo needs to be within shotgun range to nail pipes with any consistency, and since you don't have a movement penalty it's easier to juke, plus the fact you can survive two pipes from full health while they'll drop in three shotgun blasts.

Heavy vs heavy will more often than not be decided by the primary, but when you are faced with another class and your minigun isn't already revved up, a shotgun can be very strong. And the shotgun can even out some of the matchups heavy is notoriously bad at, i.e. demoman.

​@@SethAbercromby lol what are you talking about fat scout gets demolished by every combat class in the game. In fact, it would be fair to say heavy is the weakest shotgun user in the entire game. The best counter to fat scout is the scout. He just needs to get up the heavy's face and deliver a bunch of meatshots, while moving like a crackhead, and would make the scout extremely hard to track. Even if the heavy miraculously survives, his health would probably would be greatly crippled and would easily be finished off. And a half-decent demo can easily hit consistent pipes on a slow moving target.

Honestly really think Heavy deserves more primary variety, and I'm not just talking about "guns" Many classes have items that completely overwrite the "gun" slot with another item type entirely Food or Armor of some kind usually does the trick I'd love to see a heavy primary that's literally just body armor, just equipping it reducing incoming damage by 20%, this would pair with the shotgun for a truly fat scout, steak for a melee class, and would counter many of the melee's damage vulnerabilities that hinder them like the Warrior Spirit

Great points, I've been saying this for years. I was hoping you'd mention the Fists of Steel synergy that you can use against soldiers and demos to completely screw them over in a fight and tank an additional shot allowing you to get the kill. If your team has more than 1 medic, you don't really need a sandwich as your shotgun will generate more value than healing half the health, As if you fire the shotgun twice, you've done more damage than your thrown sandwhich heals.

I think the tf2 experience varies enough for heavy not to be boring. There’s so much going on and so many weird interaction that heavy does have enough to do in a game. That being said he could use some more types of play styles. I also use the shotgun because it offers for a little more variety in gun fights. Would anyone disagree with heavy having a 4th weapon slot so that the food items and shotgun are used together? I’d say heavy deserves that.

I would prefer slot 7 for equipment items(grenades, mines utility items like everything in the game excluding Demoman's Shields since those change the class, and something like pocket shotguns, revolvers, pistols and tranquillizer gun for slot 7) with improved Gas Passer stats and cool stock and unlocks that give more options to play the classes and maybe even find new fun ways to play them. by Gas passer stats, I mean that the idea of starting off with some grenade thing you have to earn by doing damage(and healing in the medic's case)or wait to recharge is great and avoids the Nade Spam issue of Team Fortress Classic, now tweak the amount of damage and time to recharge from 750 damage(holy crap, that much?! yowza!) and 60 seconds to say a 450 damage and 45 seconds or 300 damage and 30 seconds and add a "press R to switch from Gasoline Cloud mode and Gasoline Bomb mode(ignite the canister and do 50 damage in a AOE and cause gasoline afterburn)" to make it better. An example for a Heavy item that needs improvements, if the Steak got a Sandvich tier healing that can overheal like the Dalokosh bar(think of like you can heal 300 health like a Sandvich, but if you say heal 150 from 150HP, the remaining 150HP from that 300 Steak healing are Dalokosh Bar health increase, if Heavy was at 100HP that is 200HP healing and 100 extra HP, which in this situation is fine for you are a MELEE ONLY HEAVY), this would immediately make the Steak a better Team Fortress 2 version of the Classic Doom Berserker pack(which gave health and melee damage increase) which would make it much better in it's Berserker Heavy playstyle it tries to make and you could actually survive enough to kill people. 15HP on hit and 25HP on kill would also work as a upside to tke Steak, Warriors Spirit having 10HP on hit, 50HP on kill and no random crits for minicrits are crits and 30% more damage is 30% less damage and 30% damage vulnerability is 15% DV would make both the Steak and Bear Claws combo together, but also make the Claws a good health gain tool. if the Steak was part of a slot 4 or slot 7 for the heavy, I can see it changed as a "this item restricts the user from the minigun, and makes melee minicrit" meaning the increased movement speed is still good for the Shotgun heavy PLUS my proposed health gain and health increase as well as the Melee HP on hit and Kill would still make the Steak a good roamer Heavy but also allow for awesome Action Hero Heavy like activities, the Nuke and the Hound Dog could be good for that Action hero look. what do you think of anything of this?

I unironically think the Heavy would benefit greatly from buffing Fat Scout play via allowing food items to be placed in the Primary slot instead. Think about it, a Heavy that sacrifices huge DPS for overall reliability with a shotgun AND can still dispense Sandviches or eat them himself would be baller af and wouldn't really be OP because, again, ya have to give up the big gun. So basically you trade defensive strength for more flexible pushes and counter-ambush options. This wouldn't have a runaway train effect on balance either because the shotguns are held back by reload times which would make this new "Sandvich Fat Scout" style balanced by that alone, not to mention the shotties require you to be close to deal huge damage. Then again, I think Heavy could benefit from at least one or two more exclusive shotguns, especially if we were to allow this Sandvich Fat Scout loadout. I think a long double-barrel (not the FaN) that does huge damage at slightly longer ranges but has to reload every two shots would be good, and maybe a SPAS-12 type shotty with some kind of gimmick or something might also work.

As a heavy main, I actually find it fun to go with a shotgun heavy loadout once in a while. All my teammates ask what the hell I'm doing when I go shotgun heavy, or even vote kick me entirely, but sometimes I actually carry a game when I do it.

I still love the gloves of running urgently, even with fat Heavy. You can keep your momentum when you switch weapons mid-air, which I think is an underrated talking point. Whenever I know I'm in a bad situation I usually just take them out and run in every direction to dodge bullets. Just a few days ago I outmaneuvered a scout. He missed every shot then kill-binded because he couldn't keep up with my strafes.

One loadout I find completely underrated is the Tomislav with the Panic attack. These two allow you to switch weapons much faster and the tighter spread of the Tomislav makes up for the Panic attacks poor range.

I find heavy kind of exciting tbh. It's the experience of being both strong and weak at once. Anyone who comes after you directly is gonna get shredded, but a single sniper or spy is gonna slap your ass just as hard. There's hidden nuance to heavy, and I feel you covered a lot of it with this video regarding the shotguns.

the last few days I've been playing shotgun-only heavy, just for the laughs. and then I start to think it's actually pretty good, maybe I should seriously combine this with minigun usage. and then like magic I ran into this video. there's so many situations where heavy's shotgun is the perfect tool for the job, and I never noticed these moments because I only ever had the sandvich equipped. only after using the shotgun for a little while, I could see the opportunities I had missed. At the very least it's worth trying this out, just to think more flexibly about how Heavy can be played!

I like using the shotgun, but always felt bad if there was a Medic on my team since he's be expecting a sandvich. Thank you for giving me the affirmation I needed to gaslight, gatekeep, and girlboss my way through life. Also, one thing that occurred to me while watching the video - the miniguns were all given a nerf in Love and War where you need to stay spun up for a second before getting your full damage and accuracy. So while the spin-up speed was increased, that nerf kinda works to negates that. I have no idea if the shotgun would outdamage the 50% damage minigun fire, but that could still be another reason to bring a shotgun with you for unexpected encounters.

I think the reason the sandvich and banana are so highly regarded is because it provides immediate healing, so if you’re low health you won’t have to run to a healthpack if you didn’t have a dispenser or medic, and healthpacks are usually away from the action and with Heavy’s slow speed you would miss out on helping your team if you took too long, this is also why Medics and Dispensers are good for heavy and all other classes: they provide healing at the frontlines so you won’t have to run to a healthpack to get your health back

I feel like the shotgun in heavies load out was purposefully put there because it suits his character. We only see heavy in the official valve clips use the mini gun in certain situations that mostly involve crowd control. Heavy also would most likely only use the mini gun when it’s practical because of how expensive it is to fire it for just 12 seconds.

I have used the shotgun with the Minigun for many years and I have a mostly positive relationship with it. It is a ton of fun to use, and my minigun of choice is the Hou Long Heater which it pairs really well with. When you have a decent medic up your butt all the time, the shotgun is pretty much a direct upgrade from the sandwich. My only gripe with the shotgun is that on pubs finding a good medic is usually quiet hard and that self-healing really comes in handy when there isn't a lot of health packs around the map. I know the shotgun isn't as good as the sandwich, but the mobility and bullet blasting fun of the shotgun makes it my first pick.

Very good video! I think some people sort of forget that a shotgun is a GUN. It sort of comes with the added bonus of nobody expecting you to ever use it, unlike the other classes with the shotgun. I find it to be pretty damn good in MVM, since you can just pick up health on kill for your minigun to pretty much completely remove the need for a lunchbox item, and it's helped me when I run out of ammo or if a sneaky bot manages to get past me. I can chase them with the gru and take them down quickly since I won't have to rev up.
