This guy's favorite animated franchise is The Minions, you can tell he's based

Pro tip: When you have the brass beast, consider bringing a shotgun, giving you a more mobile alternative while still allowing you to dish out some serious damage.

I love how this guy not only tackles Heavy's secondaries, but also prioritizes giving your Heavy a balanced and nutritious diet. Truly an example of what all Heavy mains should be.

Man, that's such a cool idea for a video. I love how heavy tries out all these different foods!

"Medic, get the banana" medic: gets the banana "Potassium"

I think i’m the only person who prefers the Banana over the sandwich as medic. Especially in pubs where I can’t rely on my team to keep me alive, having even a small medkit much more often Is usually just fine if not better for longer fights than the sandwich

The banana is actually really good at keeping medics free of afterburn and other damage other time effects due to you basically being able to spawn a small health kit every 10 seconds.

0:53 sir, i do not doubt that you are infact a heavy main but i must object to this, heavy is a strong man, not a fat man, under the layer of fat, heavy is just all muscles real life strong men also looked much like heavy, having a big gut and huge muscles, it would be safe to assume heavy weapon expert does infact exercise also like half of his taunts are work out related.

It's funny how the second banana is arguably the best heavy item in the "pyro update"

Today I was playing heavy and ate the banana while there was a medic healing me, i did not notice him, when I ate it, he looked so betrayed, stopped healing me, and died to a scream fortress spell, I felt so guilty

I'm early. Finally somebody acknowledges that the Family Business is amazing.

The panic attack (or shotfun as I like to call it) and fists of steel synergise really well in my experience. The switch speed buff makes going from fists of steel to shotgun as quick as stock fists, allowing you to safely close in for some hefty meatshots. I like pairing these with the brass beast, because both these weapons almost kinda fill the same safe positioning niche that it desperately needs

heavy having a phd in russian literature makes him more of a doctor than medic currently is. ..but that means nothing to how much of an alpha man he is when he eats that steak.

nice choice of transition song, i guess the person who suggested it had a great music taste!!

I remember one time I was in a server with a Heavy who only used the shotgun. He absolutely wrecked face. Whoever he was, he was so good that even not using a main wasn't enough of a handicap

as heavy main, i always go with the second banana. Its super conveineint for how fast it recharges, true it may not give as much health to others but you can still get your health back up pretty good in a short amount of time

I like how the consolation prize was better than all three of pyros unlocks

“What all my friends at the gym say” Hahahahahahaha. Elmaxo you have failed no irony october.

Medic main here: a banana can often be enough to help us out in a pinch. A small health kit can put out fire just as well as medium can, and self healing is a lot quicker than you might think. Plus, if I’m busy healing someone else or ubering, it’s good to know you can eat and I can still rely on your food for the next 30 seconds

Small correction here, The sandvich heals 400 and not 300hp. Meaning he can even heal to full health, while getting hit

it really depends on what's going on in the game, as some situations work better with different secondaries. pocket medic - sandvich equipped monkey - banan equipped solo heavy - fishcake (none of that dalokos here) running the brass beast - any shotgun equiped

5:48 Recent bug fix: "fixed the crash caused by Sniper trying to eat his rifle." This guy warned us of the future!

I unironically use the shotgun on Heavy. I actually know where health kits are and like actually being able to fight back against demomen.

I personally prefer running the stock shotgun. I’m pretty good at connecting my shots with it, and it’s reliable damage

1:16 "IM ON FIREEEE" *nom nom nom intensifies*

Shot guns are helpful in keeping enemies away on low ammo until getting an ammo pack

As a heavy main, nice video! I agree with all picks on the tier list

You're a bloody legend, that's all I have. Keep up the great work!

Love to see more Heavy mains around! Specifically more Heavy Content creators :D!

ima just say, chocolate all the way. Gives medic less need to babysit you, the extra health is invaluable in some engagements (the times I've been dropped to under 50HP using the chocolate and thought "Wow I would've died using any other secondary") and the extra healing you get from healthpacks is a nice bonus. Plus with the fist of steel I can just walk in front of a sentry and laugh (a level 2 sentry will deal 8 x 16 damage per second to a 300HP heavy (8 x 16 = 128DPS, 300HP heavy is dead in under 2.4 seconds) OR it would deal 8 x 10 damage per second to a 350HP FOS heavy (8 x 10 = 80 DPS, 350HP heavy lives for nearly 4.4 seconds). Sure it'd be dumb to just walk into a sentry line of sight and I can't think of too many reasons you'd do it, but you can! Anyway, joking aside, I do love the chocolate and think it gets a really bad wrap for what is a potent but balanced sidegrade to the sandvich. If there was 1 or 2 changes I'd give it, I'd make it so the HP bonus last a bit longer (30 seconds isn't that long to keep on needing to eat it) and/or make eating it faster (cause 100HP really shouldn't take a full 4 seconds). Wish more people realised that it's a competent secondary. Also it pairs well with the quick fix cause then you can overheal to 425.

3:30 yep. as a type 1 diabetic I can confirm

The chocolate and the gloves of running urgently have been my go to for years, makes those 20 second respawn times on some defense maps and the trek back to the front lines a lot less tedious at the expense of viable melee and a second weapon, pairs pretty well with the tomislav

Excellent video Hellmaxo

4:22 "you have bear fists?" -a talking milkbag

0:08 I thought that all of those logos where soldier… I have been taken completely off Gard.

The Dalokohs bar is great, and just because I have a server-clearing one doesn't mean I'm biased

Underrated content creator spotted (insane)

Elmaxo: *Mentions all the lunchboxes* Fishcake: Uh… guys?

3:20 Literally just remove the cooldown, and make it to where you have to eat it again when you drop below 300 hp for the max health buff again Boom, perfectly fine solid food item

0:30 WTF I WAS LISTENING TO ISLAND IN THE SUN. WTF HOW

Imagine if they actually added an insulin injection as a lunchbox item for heavy.

Hey, El maxo. I always had this funny thought of every class getting an edible/drinkable secondary. The Engineer could have coffee that boost his build/upgrade times. The Medic would have bratwurst to buff his own health. The soldier would have a burger that gives him the crit-a-cola effect on a burger: "Edible Americritcana" would be the name. The Demoman would just have his drink, which gives him more damage because of drunken rage. Pyro would have roasted marshmallows that give him slight damage resistance bonus for a good amount of time. Sniper would have shrimp because he's Australian, and they just give him health restore and the ability to survive a backstab once because he absorbed the shrimp's soul to gain a spiritual shell.

Chocolate is best for going in alone and if you find a wild medic you can still prevent them from dying

I think the weezer quip is the best transition ever.

3:46 "max the fluffy boi"

One neat thing with the dahlokos bar is that you can live 2 150 damage quickscope headshots without a medic, making it an effective tool to deal with those pesky sniper bots in 1v1s

" I will convince you why the Buffalo Steak Sandvich" It doesnt heal you,thus its bad lunch item,banana for life

Wow I didn't realise how much your channel has exploded over this past year

elmaxo - quality content in under ten minutes.

The Dollakas bar is heavys best secondary weapon because it’s the only strange I have

1:57 Heavy with glass kinda looks like David Bautista

I may be the only person to say this, but i have a preference to the buffalo steak Sandvich. For a few reasons. 1 the speed boost lets you run to the front lines faster 2. It encourages you to not be greedy and help teammates, since it does heal them the same a normal Sandvich does. And since you can't eat it for yourself, you feel more inclined to help your team out 3. It's funny as heck getting a group of 5 heavies on steak punching the crap out of everybody 4. It's raw steak. Need I say more? 5. Combining it with the KGB is amazing. Pick a weak target like a Scout and get the 5 second actual crit buff, then just go to town. Once you have the KGB boost active, you can even beat up a demoknight.

the amount of puns in this video is amazing

instructions unclear minigun devoured

mishearing: "little known fact about the elmaxo channel is that well i'm actually a hitman"

LOVE YOUR VIDEOS DONT STOP MAKING THEM THESE VIDEOS ARE FIRE

Missed the part where the Dalakohs bar has a faster recharge time than the banana

elmaxos delivery and style have gotten better and better since i subbed.... never fall into one niche my friend u got quality delivery explore as much as you want. ill keep watching

When the heavy throws the banana, enemies should slip

Team plasma music made me happy

Here, I'll tell you so you don't have to watch the video. It's the Sandvich. Nothing compares.

Never played a lot of games, including tf2… but i love to watch videos about games

5:46 sniper didnt listen to this psa...

I just came up for a new heavy consumable. Its basically just 4 sandvitches in a lunchbox that takes 4 times longer to charge but you can share it with more than 1 person

4:03 my dads angry stats

My man was way ahead of his time with the minion joke

As a diabetic you saying type one was accurate

Sasha weighs 350 pounds, and Heavy RUNS while carrying it. That man upper-body strength is NUTS!

4:45 i as a medic Girlfriend would you advise to not do that

Waiting until 12 at night to watch a elmaxo video

Banana is using (i think) because it's free consolation prize, for some missions. So if you sold secondary u always can use free banana

Love it El Maxo!

Alternate title: The Sanvich vs the second banana

I’m pretty sure people keep forgetting this but banana has a 10 second recharge it might heal 30 HP but sandwich takes 30 seconds to recharge and it only heal 70 or more while the banana can heal up to 90 HP no matter of seconds so I don’t know why people keep putting the banana in the second tier I mean also I can heal 200 HP but that’s just my opinion

2:30 OMG THATS ME LOL HIIII

Man, the steak is like the beserk power up from doom

I'm not a Heavy Main, but I'd consider the Buffalo Steak Sandvich a C tier option since it allows you to reach mid on 5CP or specific maps in Payload with a long distance to trek since it does bring you up to 104% from 77% and can wear off around the time you reach the point while being a Medium health kit for your team.

So you were the fat scout dominating me on a halloween server

I can confirm. Dalokoh bars made my primary insulin

Dalohkohs Stan for life

Kurt Cobain musta not heard Elmo’s tidbit about eating shotguns…

As something of an independent heavy player, I've always preferred the banana over the sandvich.

My fellow heavy main brother. Do you too get acused of not existing, even while you're mowing people down or in their face with a frying pan? Im conflicted wether it saddens me or i find it absolutely hilarious.

I'd say which secondary is best is situational. Meat is good in its own right when you have a pocket with Quick Fix or normal Uber. Seriously, on Attack it's godlike for capping. Sandvich is best for healing a pocket, Banana when you have no pocket to heal but your team is good enough to take a quick heal break. The bar on the other hand is great for defense without a medic. It carried me so many times against sniper bots without a medic to rely on since I get 350 HP and steel fists.

Heavy’s best secondary is this German fella named Medic

Weezer reference at 0:36 Funke v2 😂

Nice video man :D

Crazy commitment on this guy

Isn't the KGB with Buffalo Steak kinda redundant because after the first kill you would have been better off just using a different secondary while having crits on ALL weapons?

There’s pretty much no reason to not run the banana if you are able to position it well enough. Sandvich is the most popular, but as a heavy main, even if the banana didn’t exist i would use the dalokohs most of the time because of how incredibly long the recharge is on the sandvich (lasting longer than most battles would).

Family business or Shotgun for fat scout or brass beast, it's your choice of preference. Banana if you have a pocket medic because you can toss it more often to keep your medic alive under heavy fire, while leaving them to their natural Regen between fights. Sandwich for using on yourself

Sandvich S A N D V I C H!

The Heavy's best secondary is Medic.

Another great video, keep it up!

this is comedy gold, love it

We all though what come after the pyro update is the heavy update... rip it's been 4 years

Correction, the best heavy secondary is the base jumper

In terms of pure healing? Banana. It heals 200 hp every 10 seconds. Sandvich heals 400 every 30. Banana is also better when thrown as long as you keep throwing it. In 20 seconds, it can heal 60% of someone's health.

Crazy how a freaking banana ended up being the best to come from the pyro update. Before anyone says dragón's fury: direct hit.

IMO this is your best video so far, i loved the jokes
