-Although he looks slow and stupid, the '''Heavy Weapons Guy''' is an expert in the use of... heavy weapons. He carries a huge gun known as the [[Weapon:Assault_Cannon|assault cannon]]. It has a 200 round clip and slices through enemies like butter. While the recoil of firing such a weapon would probably kill lesser classes, the HWGuy is able to withstand it easily. However, the recoil is still rather powerful and firing the assault cannon does cause the HWGuy to slow down considerably. The gun is most effective at close to medium range, and quickly loses accuracy at long range. Due to the combined weight of his weaponry, armor, and body, the HWGuy moves very slowly.

 Since he likely carries well over 200 pounds of gear (and is slightly overweight himself), the HWGuy is hard to push around with explosions. This makes the HWGuy effective at defending choke points. Since he can't easily be knocked out of them, the enemy has usually no choice but to either die to assault cannon fire or retreat. If you want to be an impenetrable (and deadly) wall, the HW Guy is the class for you.

-Remember that the AC is -NOT- meant for long range, but at short range it will shred your opponent. HW's are wonderful on defense, be sure to check for spies, simply unload on them for 1 second with your AC and they'll drop dead. USE YOUR MIRVS! Mirvs are wonderful for stopping an offense, they can easily take out multiple enemies if they're not being careful. If you know an enemy is coming down a hallway, pre-fire on it to remove the weakness of the AC's startup time.
+====Defensive HWGuy====
 ====Offensive HWGuy====
-On Offense, you are a monster. Use your mirvs to take out a sentry, you can usually get the dispenser, sentry, and engineer with just one mirv, so use them well! Demomen will be a problem, just try to stay away from their pipes, and I highly suggest using your Super Shotgun instead of your AC on them, so that you're a more difficult target for them. Snipers will only be a problem if they know you're coming and they're charged, in this case, I suggest using your frags and super shotgun, first throw the frag in their face right as it explodes, and finish them quickly with your shotgun. Pyros are very annoying, be very sure that they don't get level 3 flame on you, or you WILL die. Try your hardest to stay away from their grenades and IC, the flamethrower will be very difficult if not impossible to avoid. Also discard any ammunition; EMP's from engineers are pretty deadly for a HWGuy.
+* You're the slowest class in the game, so you take a long time to get to the enemy base after respawning. Your slow speed also makes you vulnerable to grenades and Snipers.
+* Leave capturing the flag to faster classes; focus on killing defenders so they can get through.
-====Defensive HWGuy====
+* You're very slow while firing your Assault Cannon. Use your Super Shotgun if you need mobility.
