Team Fortress 2 Heavy Update: Natascha Unveiled

Continuing its series of daily revelations, Team Fortress 2 developer Valve today updated its site with details on the Heavy's second unlockable weapon, Natascha.

A level 5 minigun, Natascha does 25% less damage to targets, but is guaranteed to slow them down. Like the Killing Gloves of Boxing and the other unknown unlockable, Natascha will become available as players earn the Heavy's new achievements.

The free update, due on PC next Tuesday, brings a new gameplay mode, new arenas, new maps and class-specific Heavy achievements to the multiplayer shooter.
