Basic Heavy strategy: Difference between revisions

The Chekhov's Punch is an alternative melee weapon for the Heavy. It functions identically to the Fists in terms of base damage and attack speed. Upon punching an enemy, you will gain 1 critical charge with a maximum amount of 3. These critical charges can be used for any weapon in your kit, using 1 charge for every 1.5 seconds of Minigun fire, 1 charge for every Anti-Aircraft Cannon shot, 1 charge for every Shotgun shot, 1 for any Sandvich usage, and 1 for every landed melee hit. You can only deal critical melee damage at 3 charges, and successive critical melee hits do not use any charges. However, regardless of which weapon you have deployed, having the Chekhov's Punch equipped causes you to take critical damage from all melee attacks, as well as lose your ability to achieve random critical melee hits. Be very cautious during melee combat, as you must rely on movement to avoid being beaten or bludgeoned to death.
