Is the Buffalo Steak Sandvich worth it?

[Fivzie🌕]

I like playing heavy, and I like punching people. Infact best combo I've found for a heavy build is that sandvich with the fists of steel, and with the Tomislav. Buuut, I'm not really good at being a melee heavy. Probably cause I suck with melee heavy in first place :p

Lately though I've been thinking of scrapping it and just stop trying to melee heavy. Is it worth it to use this sandvich? Or do I just need a better loadout?

[Idyllic Substitute Finds Purpose]

With skill and practice, it's worth it. If you lack that, no it isn't.

It's bad for melee, melee in general is bad for heavy
It's good for rollouts on 5CP maps

It'll get you to mid faster.
I mean, it's not really that bad considering that you pretty much only use the sandvich as a medium healthkit for your teamates anyway, and a solid 6/10 times you chow down on the sammy, you die anyway.

So use it to move long distances faster I guess?

If you insist on using it for the speed perk, it's decent when comboed with the Fists of Steel or the KGB. It also still keeps the med-kit perk, so you don't lose any support potential if you pick it.

What I'm getting so far it's good if you're good with melee, a nice speed perk if you need it, and a good source of health for other teamates.

Guess I could be a medical support heavy with this sandvich? Maybe only use it as a last resort type of thing to get out of a sticky situation hopefully. Kinda like the scout's Atomic Punch energy drink, only I could die, but if I literally run into folk on my way out of whatever, then wallabam, a nice damage boost to boot!

Problem is, you take more damage while the effects are active, and also, you're pretty freaking slow as fat-man already.
It's best use is probably it's decent mobility in non combative areas.
Unless you're just running around with your fists trol-lol-loling.
Which is fine too I guess.

Yea, I've been using it to rush into battle trying to punch folk. Forgot it INCREASES damage taken. Heh, whoops. Well.. kinda makes it the most awful thing to use with the Warrior's Spirit fists, cause that stacks on top of the damage vulnrability with the Steak Sandvich. Guess that's why I switched to fists of steel with it, remembering the negative part of that sandvich.

Man, this sandvich is looking 'kinda' useless now. Heh

I've never used it for more than just derping around on Harvest. I'm sure if you used it properly it would be good though, depends on your playstyle.
