The Sandvich is a secondary for the Heavy, which replaces his shotgun. Upon eating this yummy treat, you gain all of your health back, but if you are interupted the health lost will NOT be restored. It takes about 3.4 seconds to fully finish the eating process. Most Heavy mains use this as their #1 item, as it is the most useful. Don't get me wrong; it's amazing.

If you ask ANY good player in TF2, they will tell you the Sandvich is the best item in any situation, no thought required. But, when should you use your time to take a snack? Here are some areas/times to eat your Sandvich!

In a corner is great if the enemy team has plenty of good spies. In a corner, with right positioning, you can easily not get backstabbed! Just don't do it if you KNOW there is a spy in the room, because they might get a bit of damage on you, but if they are using the Ambassador, they can easily kill you with a few headshots.

Now, don't call me stupid. I'm not. Eating a sandvich is a waste of time, some may say. But, if you are full health and pick up ANY health kit, your Sandvich will immediately be restored. Even if it's just a small health pack. Then, if you need too, ten seconds later you can still have a fresh Sandvich on you, ready to go into battle!

This is the best time to do it. Nobody can pick you off because you have the protection of your team. Now please, for all you newer Heavies, if there is a Medic in the area, just press "e" and call for medic, and leave your Sandvich for a teammate. I will explain this in the next chapter.

The thing that makes the Sandvich unique, is if you right-click with it in your hand, you can drop it & it will count as a Medium Health Kit (half-health restored) This is AMAZING if you have a medic pocketing you, because if they get low health, just give 'em your Sandvich, and continue painting the landscape red. Please note though, BOTH teams can pick up the dropped Sandvich, so don't drop it if your being ambushed by sombody, because you may heal the enemy other then that pyro helping you! And strategize with this! This is an amazing feature to have!

A very short guide indeed, but was there really ANY need for this in the first place? Prob. not, but I don't care. I'm just that nice guy who waste's his time giving other people information. Also, please excuse if I spell quite a few things wrong. I'm half dutch, and my grammar isn't perfect. (I'm also, as if right now, in grade 6 :P)
