Heavy[edit]
Heavies are big, tough warriors trained to wear the heaviest armor and wield the biggest guns. Heavies aren't as adaptable or even as accurate as regular soldiers, and are the very opposite of graceful or mobile, but but when it comes to the things they're good at, they're very good at it. With the most ammunition and the most sheer durability, they are excellent at holding a position or winning a battle of attrition. And while they may not be great shots, their sheer volume of fire makes up for it. Part of being a heavy is being the biggest target, which in combat is a double-edged sword. A heavy takes the most incoming fire, but they often save their comrades' lives by taking a bullet or ten meant for a more fragile teammate.
A heavy is the closest thing there is to a living, walking tank! Play as a heavy if you want to be able to tank hit after hit, or rip your enemies to shreds with gigantic weapons.
