Editing Heavy (Highlander) (section)

==Unlockable weapons==
The Heavy has a few unlockable weapons that are considered useful in a Highlander environment.

===Primary weapons===
When it comes to primary weapons, the stock Minigun has been, throughout the history of competitive TF2, widely regarded as the optimal option, as other miniguns have considerable downsides that limit the Heavy's damage-dealing abilities. As of the Gun Mettle update, the Heavy has been given a much more versatile arsenal. The Tomislav has become, as a result, the weapon of choice for many Heavies throughout the ranks of Highlander due to its faster rev-up time and its negligible downsides. The Minigun is still as versatile as before, while the Natascha has also earned some situational usage for its ability to deny Scouts and other, very mobile, classes.

===Secondary weapons===
Almost all Highlander Heavies use the '''Sandvich''' at all times. A Sandvich dropped on the floor can serve as an emergency medium health pack for a hurt Medic. 

===Melee weapons===
* '''Gloves of Running Urgently''' - In the past considered as the best melee weapon for the Heavy, but they have been modified. It has a slow maximum health drain, but the speed boost still comes useful for rolling out on [[5CP]] maps.
* '''Fists of Steel''' - The new alternative after the GRU's nerf. The Fists of Steel reduce the damage taken by the Heavy by non-melee weapons, and with that they also give him a getaway possibility. They do not however boost the Heavy's speed in any way, so it is advisable that on long maps the [[Soldier (Highlander)|Soldier]] should run the Disciplinary Action.
* '''Eviction Notice''' - For Heavies who dislike the GRU's fast maximum health drainage, the Eviction Notice is often their go-to melee. This melee weapon drains health slower than the GRU and grants a speed boost thats slower than the GRU. Hitting an enemy with this grants a small speed boost after the hit.
