Default Heavy / Heavy Medic Combo: How to kill

When i come up against heavies, I always seem to die, unless im a spy and knife them, or an engineer with a well placed turret. But how do you handle them with the other classes??
I can kill them with pyro, but I normally die first, and the heavy dies of burning, or if there is a medic, the heavy doesnt even die

Please help....

If you're a good aim, the scout's scatter is really effective - if you keep moving, and making use of the double jump, its actually pretty hard to nail you.

Demos and Soldiers are also great, a dead on hit with anything explosive does critical damage to the heavy, so just be smart about aiming at the feet or the body (its friggin huge), and take advantage of his slow aim and movement.

Kill the one with the least amount of health first

I always, always kill the medic first.

Then to the Heavy...
As a soldier: Aim at them, not on the ground like you do for most other classes...
As a scout: BASH THEM WITH A BAT...
As a Pyro: Run circles around him, change up the direction a little bit, and remember ducking is your friend sometimes.
As a Engineer: Figure out this one yourself. I mean... Go up to him and knock him out with a wrench then rape his body. (Hint: Sentry)
As a sniper: You shoot him with your pistol. I mean, Snipe them with a charged shot.
As a Spy: You sap him.
As a Demoman: Stickies are your friend.
As a Medic: You don't kill heavys with medics... =)
And finally, as a Heavy: Change it up, duck, don't duck, strafe a little... And always, aim for the head...

If a medic is healing the heavy, a charged shot from a Sniper will not kill the heavy in one hit unless he's lower than 400 health. He can be at 450 and not die = lame.

@ bmho: Headshots don't count with the chaingun, they only count with melee weapons and the sniper.

@ TheGnome: Even if you hit him in the head with 100%? IIRC that nails him.


For me as a soldier I just gib his medic, then I take a few shots at him and rush him and shovel his head in, timmy will back that up

I've shot Heavy's plenty of times in the head at 100% without them dying. Timmy can attest to this.

You can agree with both, I'm not denying that a heavy can survive a 100% sniper headshot if he has a medic, I'm saying that I find shovelling them in the head most effective after emptying your 4 rockets at him.

does a sniper headshot damage change based on charge?

i know at least 3 headshots to a heavy with a medic should take him out. i managed to pull 3 shots on the sucker, thankfully he was distracted and wasnt shooting at me.

Hmmm . . . I must learn more. This game has more to it than what seems obvious at first. I've only come to understand, not master and I'll use that term lightly, two classes -Soldier and Sniper. And that's only because they are probably the easiest classes to master. I still suck though.

Anyway, thanks for the link. Mmmmmm, more info.
