#DomTrooperMafia
This is really well formatted, and truly informal, I appreciate the incorporation of an actual pro of the game and class of discussion as far as the beta is concerned, as it makes these tips feel more creditable, beyond them just being really good, immaculate vid
Thank you so much! This is simply from a perspective and doesn't intend to be the "end all" anyone can play whatever they enjoy! :)
agree, the structure of the video was neatly held to.
Watched it for my heavy and sent it to my heavy main in the team. He is doing most of those things intuitively. Great guide!!,
Awesome, there may be a few things in here he might not have considered but at least he knows that he's on the right track if he's following everything in here :)

A stun gun light can also make something a 2v3 by stunning the heavy. There’s so many OP things in this game that the RPG should NOT be nerfed
Stun gun pistol or xp combo will destroy anything in the game aswell not just light like rpg
I can see the point your trying to make, but I disagree. The RPG is an instant 1 tap that a light can't do much about except avoid, but stun requires you to not just be in range and land the shot, but to follow it up and get the kill. You may think the kill is guaranteed (like an RPG on a light), but its not. The heavy can still shoot and kill you meaning its loosable. I as a light main have died to people I stun quite a few times (if their crosshair is near or on you when you stun them they still have a decent shot at killing you especially if you are not full hp). Thus, an RPG against a light creates a larger disadvantage than the stun or any other ability against any other class, meaning either the RPG damage should be slightly nerfed or the light health should be slightly increased.
nah, RPG is unfair.
If they nerfed the damage, they could add an extra round for more environment destruction
Swords butter knifes any kind of gun melts the heavys in seconds rpg does not need nerfing swords kill heavys in 2 to 3 hits butter knife one hit if behind smgs an rifles all melt. Heavys in seconds before yu can react heavy need the rpg
Unfortunately I didn't play this game during the Beta, but I'm looking forward to play this game when it officially releases.
After your guides I think I'm going to practice with Medium then main Heavy I'm all about passive aggressive when it comes to shooters and Heavy seems to fit the bill.
Hell yeah, that's exactly how I started when I first played this game, it's good because you get to understand how the other contestants play and you know their strengths/weaknesses. I have a preferred playstyle of exactly that, I like to think about the plan before I just dive in but hit hard when I commit haha, thanks for watching!!
@@THiiXY I know a lot of people that have played the game so I had to see what the hype was all about from what I can see it looks like a perfect blend between Team Fortress 2 and Apex Legends.
Both games I've played and I always play the "big guy" so I'll probably feel right at home with the Heavy class.
RPG needs nerf vs Light? Lights can Taser and Kill a Heavy before they get the RPG out. It doesn't need a nerf, it's well balanced... and I mainly play Medium/Light in Ranked. I will never understand players complaining about a hard counter because they can dominate in every other aspect of the game except that one scenario if they misplay it.
Yeah I think the other side of the coin is that those light players are just blindly running in front of a heavy with RPG out, but I see the frustration when it's like across roof tops one shotting, I think that if it's high experienced vs high experienced player, it's pretty decently balanced
Love your content
thank you!!!
Loving the content THiiXY!
Thank you so much!! Hope you stick around for future vids :)
Hey when you get to 5mill subs remember us
Hahaha, that would be crazy lol, thank you so much!
Loved the video, super helpful. I main a medium but feeling it's lack of good gun options badly. Think I will switch to heavy for a bit since it seems like it fits my style a bit more.
Thank you! Yeah try heavy out for a bit I used to main medium but eventually switched to heavy main so I think you’ll enjoy a bit of the extra health
Now that we have a video for each class, what is the superior team setup? I see most teams running 2 Med, and 1 Heavy. The healing and defibs are very powerful.
Yeah we've come full circle, there's a lot of paths I can take here but the cool thing is that we can now tie everything together with what we've made
Light with glitch nades shits on that strat
@@pirate135246the point of glitch nades is to remove any strat and make everyone rely on gunplay
You can make any combo work tbh, we have been using 3 medium meaning 2 turrets, multiple gas mines and a healer makes it very easy to defend a cash out
I know it might not be meta, but as a heavy if you jump during your charge you do a slam so by hitting someone with your charge then jumping into the slam you can do a lot of damage
edit: takes out lights or combos with sledge alt to take out another heavy
Actually a great tip to be fair, thanks for contributing! I've had heavies shove me off platforms many times with that haha
needed this. but yeah it becomes painfully apparent after a little of heavy that u need a good support medium to back u up. and for me i really cant with the m60. the lewis guns is just so much better imo. better accuracy, better iron sights, much less horizontal recoil, and i think a faster reload time. like yeah the m60 is more usable from cb2 since they toned down the muzzle flash but idk it just doesnt work for me. the shotgun is quite nice tho
Yeah I actually really agree with you, you can obviously pop off as a solo sometimes but you really need that medium player to be there complimenting your plays at the end of the day. I rep the lewis gun over M60 now as well, but love the shotgun atm.
@@THiiXY yeah shotgun is def goated especially after getting used to the 4 burst. but as for m60 vs lewis, i take lewis anyday. doing the 30k dmg for m60 was rough. idk how my coworker prefers it over the lewis. also kinda suprised the reload is the exact same time
Your videos are so professionally made that I thought you were associated with the making of the game
Hell yeah! Thank you for the kind words :)
been waiting ! thx
Thank YOU!!!
Great guide!
I noticed that no one mentioned the MGL32 (Grenade Launcher) as a part of their loadout.
What would be your opinions on this weapon?
I noticed quite a few heavies rolling with it and it seems pretty solid for tournament play.
Its absolutely shit
I usually ran the gl in my reserve. While good for crowd control it really only excels during tight quarters for me. It doesnt have the damage falloff that the anything else in his kit has, so a case could be made for it being the heavy sniper equivalent.
Hail Marying grenades across map and getting lucky kills will always be funny to me
Really awesome tips
Ayy glad you liked them!
can the Heavy shoot through its dome shield? the move he did 10:39 was awesome but confusing.
Good video.
Let's gooo! Thank you!!
I have a question, what is the easiest way to desteoy the monaco yellow towers?
I try with rpg but it seems to hit 1 spot only..
ICBM xdd great vid brother
Glad you enjoyed!
Cool video
Thank you blaze! :D
Dude being a heavy with a good medium you feel unstoppable
Yeah shoutout to the medium chads helping us out
if the light can fuck with my sentivity. i should be able to fuck with his respawn timer
I actually love the way you wrote this ahahaha
YEY! FINALLY :)
Ayyy thanks for watching!!!!
Tazer gun enters chat. " you try to rpg me"
I play heavy with rpg, frag granate and pyro granate)
For main - mgl32)
Do alot of damage and destruction when aim well my projectyles)
But often, enemy kills me fast. Specialy, in close distance.
I try this shild shit and win this game!)
Tsajaja, feels good man \o/
Hell yea, thank you so much for watching!!
The flame thrower goes threw Sheila’s tho
I feel like learned some things
Hey buddy you are the best, I really wish to corporate in your vids and be a part of this ❤🔥🔥🔥🔥
Ironically enough I am a Ligth main, and if I don't have a heavy user holding me down with the potential rocket launch 1 shot. I normally just run rampant in lobbies. I feel like they should be able to hold down lights, but I guess a slight tweak to their damage like making it deal 140 would be enough
Anyone have tips on how to deal with lights that use the stun? Anytime I'm stunned it feels like game over. Maybe I'm too out of position.
Do not nerf rocket launcher, unless you nerf the ability for a light to be able to melt a heavy with 1 clip of mp5. Equality!
plus the tazer is anti-heavy
Just nerf health when using melee
I agree I play light a lot , I take one for the team get rocket launcher than rez and now the tank has nothing g against me , I taz him and that’s gg
@@iph2 lmfao you facing the wrong tanks 😂😂
Could somebody explain the shield dome to me? Whenever I use it, half the time, I am protected while inside, the other half, I get shot straight through the bubble. Is there some kind of condition for the dome, maybe a time limit, until it becomes active? I would of thought the bubble would not allow bullets through either way to begin with, ally or enemy, but have more HP. It seems very strong at the moment, being a self deployable, one way shield.
Do you recommend the flame thrower?
I don't want to limit people to what they can/can't use in this game, these are just POV from top players takes on this game, but I'd say that if you're having fun with it, go for it!
great video
Thank you so much!!
Nice!
No way what's up lol thanks for being here hahaha
@@THiiXY ofc man, love the video. really informative.
Excellent content my boy, you earned those subs and mine too
Ayyy thank you so much! Hope you have a good weekend!
Loved it! how do i join the discord?
Thank you so much! The Discord is in the description! :D
Nice
Ayy thank you so much, enjoy the rest of the playtest :)
Good
Is it just me, or are the keyboard keybindings a bit "clunky"?
I don't use a keyboard setup where I can hit crouch and sprint keys at the same time, so I can't slide like I can in COD or battlefield.
With some context programming, wouldn't it be easier to have the pickup and interact key be the same button?
They had the pickup and interact key as the same button but what happened was that the statues, people were getting frustrated because they would go to revive, and it would pick it up, or vice versa sometimes not doing what they wanted to they split it, would be cool if there's an option to keep it the same but yeah multiple inputs needs to be worked on if you feel that happening.
Guide to using Heavy: flamethrower
Flamethrower go brrrrrr
In the algo my guy
It's also thanks to yourself for being here watching and commenting!
@@THiiXY hah np, me and friend both had you on our homepage
I didn't knew that guns has a Lock on and Tracking enemy players like this guy shows in these videos. There's no escape as it seems that this guy knows exactly where the enemy will move and hits every single shot without missing.
YE BIGBOY
Buff the sledge or nerf the autoshoutgun it can be that u do more damage close range with shotgun than weapon that u can only use on melee range
The shotgun felt like absolute garbage when I used it. The only thing it was effective against, was light players.
ICBM!!!!❤💯💯💯
LESSS GOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
I have trouble understanding how the heavy shotgun works, sometimes I can shoot very quickly and sometimes I'm stunned, as if my weapon was blocked, I don't understand.
You can shoot 3 times then have to unblock and then you can shoot 3 times etc.
every 4 shots you have to chamber the shotgun
@@lysticO ho i see, Ty for this info
whats the discord server?
The meta right now encourages slow gameplay, 2 mediums pocket healing a heavy with shields and mines. Theres not enough survivability for lights. Even if you do manage to pick off the heavy with a stun and quick finish, the 2 mediums are right there to revive instantly and heal. Heavy needs some nerfs for sure.
Heavy shotgun 💪💪💪
Helll yeaaaa
I have such bad ping in finals , in dont go below 50 ping in valorant/fortnite etc , its only in the finals , do you know why?
That's pretty strange, probably to do with the server location? They might not have enough atm but not sure.
I like playing heavy but the friends I play with think they can 1v3 every team fight and push with out me then insta die
Surprised you don’t run a flamethrower when covering the site
Flamethrower and Sledgehammer are actually really fun to use, remember that I'm not forcing anyone into a playstyle, the point of this is simply a starter guide for others to hit the ground running or something to refer to if they're struggling!
I mean...1 shotting lights with a RPG is crawl but they have the V95 so screw them XD
Heavy doesn’t really need play style just stay on cash out with bubble and the other 2 medium with heal and turret
You guys say RPG is OP to ligths. What about when Lights can go invisible stun you and instantly finish you off too or they have their sword charged before attacking from behind as 5 players are attacking you and two of them are either shooting daggers or using the sword.
If they decide to not nerf rpg they really need to make dagger 1 shot heavy
What happened to the discord server?
Nothing it's still here! Maybe the link needs to be updated
@@THiiXY yeah probably
1. play heavy
2. destroy things
3. win
Pretty much LOL
*with keyboard you can literally just press a number to select the other items… it’s so frustrating on console with that weapons/throwable wheel*
Yeah what do you think they could add, maybe some bindable options for controller?
You can change the wheel to just using the D pad buttons. Change the settings to "directional equipment"
heavy have lot of hp but weak dmg the light kill him super quick or medium with ak and currenta meta are light with invis
Yeah there's a few split ideas right now with the game, I'm just enjoying it when there's no hackers lol
2nd one here😁
Thank you!!!
@@THiiXY I love your comment♥️
our strats are identical but i prefer the torch over the shotty. shotty is secondary though for sure.
I think because the little has the one stab dagger, they deserve the one shot rpg🤷🏽♂️
Dagger doesn't one shot a heavy though🤷♂
@@Vonzuli the backstab is instant. For everybody. In my opinion, that makes it fair. Just my opinion
@@Bruce.Lightyear the dagger is 320 dmg charged backstab. Heavy HP is 350.
RPG needs an Area of effect buff if anything.... plus if a light can stun you and kill you before you have control again. It definitely is BALANCED to 1 shot those Fukkers.
Heavy needs a MG3 or a Minigun.
gas go through shield?
Yes but I think the grenade bounces off if that makes sense
Comms are so important - which is why it's frustrating that in-game comms are useless. There's no text chat and voice comms don't work.
Yeah that's something that kinda sucks atm too...
My build for heavy is:
Mesh Shield
Shotgun
RPG
Gas grenade
Dome shield
(I tried c4 and it’s not bad but I’ve had better luck defending cashouts by throwing a gas grenade on it rather than c4)
Heavy health needs nerf. The fact they can hold a 1k+ health shield, then quick swap to a rocket launcher, then swap to a flamethrower, then have 350 BASE HEALTH is crazy. If they go down, one of their medium teamates slides by with defib and revives him with 200+ hp, and its like he never died. Way too oppresive when most fights and cashout are determined in relative close quarters. "Just kill them at range!" doesn't work when most cashouts are in upstair close quarter buildings and the heavy can just slowwalk any "range advantage," with a shield.
I disagree on the rpg nerf, lights can go invisible and pretty much insta kill you with their sawed off. If we gonna nerf rpg we nerf that too.
As a heavy player I have my own disadvantages to deal with, light players should respect the rpg
more like the ICBM guide
Pizza 🍕. Hello
ICBM is life
In my opinion the heavies shotgun is his 2nd to last worst weapon
The flame thrower is fin stupid strong. Like too good
Like I don't wanna bitch and say nerf it but hell lol.
Nah it is just way too strong lol
nerf the rpg, but make the light character a little bigger. those little shits are like umpa-lumpas running around knifing me in the ankle's
ahahaha
the fuckin wide resolution at the end.... We can't be normal can we?
