Although he looks slow and stupid, the Heavy Weapons Guy (abbreviated HW Guy) is an expert in the use of... heavy weapons. He carries a huge machine gun (likely taken from a military helicopter) known as the [[Weapon:Assault_Cannon|assault cannon]]. It has a 300 round clip and slices through enemies like butter. While the recoil of firing such a weapon would probably kill lesser classes, the HW Guy is able to withstand it easily. However, the recoil is still rather powerful and firing the assault cannon does cause the HW Guy 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 himself, the HW Guy moves slowly and is thus an ideal defensive class.

Since he likely carries well over 200 pounds of gear (and is slightly overweight himself), the HW Guy is hard to push around with explosions. This makes the HW Guy 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.
