Sandvich

From TF2 Wiki

Information

The Heavy's Sandvich was first seen in Meet the Scout and has since been given a movie of its very own. It consists of two triangular slices of bread with lettuce, tomatoes, cheese, ham, and bologna in between. The Sandvich is an unlockable replacement for the Heavy's shotgun once 10 Heavy achievements are earned. When eaten, it replenishes 120 HP over four seconds. The decision to eat a Sandvich must not be taken lightly; the Heavy is completely vulnerable and very loud during the eating process ("NOM NOM NOM OM NOM"). The Heavy's Sandvich supply is unlimited, so his only real concern is being caught short while enjoying the delicious edible device.

In terms of weapon choice, the Sandvich is a great tool for area defense, as it gives the Heavy the ability to replenish health between enemy waves without having to abandon his post. Similarly, an offensive Heavy without a Medic can step back from the front line and grab a quick snack before resuming his rampage. However, enemies at range are far more dangerous, especially Snipers, and if the Heavy runs out of Minigun ammo with the Sandvich equipped, he is left with only melee for offense. Note that you cannot use the Sandvich while underwater, as this will cause the Sandvich to become wet and unsavory.

Trivia

• The Sandvich is listed as a Level 1 Lunch Box in the loadout menu.

• A Heavy holding the Sandvich drops no metal when killed. The dropped Sandvich can be collected by a Scout to boost him 75 HP and the "Dodgers 1, Giants 0" Achievement. Any other class picking up a dropped Sandvich gets only a 50 HP boost.

• The Sandvich was first portrayed on the "Meet the Scout" video, before it was even released.

• The Sandvich has no unique taunt. Taunting while the Sandvich is held is the same as pressing the primary attack.

• As with all weapons, there is a slight delay between switching to the Sandvich and left-clicking (or whatever your 'shoot' button's attached to) to perform a primary attack. However, the taunt key (G is the default key) has no weapon switching delay. Since both left-clicking and taunting achieve the same goal for the Sandvich, a heavy should use the taunt key (G) rather than the primary attack key (left-click) as this allows the heavy to immediately start the eating taunt with the Sandvich after switching to it, bypassing the delay and minimizing the time you are vulnerable.

• The "Sandvich" Edible Device is a product of Mann Co.
