best heavy weapons tf2

The Heavy is a burly and robust character who came to TF2 from the USSR. If you were to ask what is the strongest and most dangerous class in Team Fortress 2, no doubt most community players will answer the Heavy. The Heavy is considered the best class due to his high health and devastating firepower using a minigun. In today’s article, we wanted to talk about the best Heavy weapons in TF2.
