Weapons and abbilities

Brass Beast :
This is your minigun or primary weapon. This beast does +20% more damage than the stock minigun but has a 50% slower spin up time. While deployed you have a slower move speed by 60%. In my opinion if you haven't already revved it up, you are very vulnerable to even frontal attacks. Use it alongside the Shotgun in defensive situations where you will move around less.

Buffalo Steak Sandvich :
This is your steak or secondary weapon. While active, grants 35% faster speed movement and all damage dealt also damage taken are Mini-Crits. A BIG dowsnide is you are restricted to melee after you eat it. The effect duration is for 15 seconds and it takes like 30 seconds to recharge. In my opinion the Buffalo Steak Sandvich is best used to move around the battlefield quickly.

Warrior's Spirit :
Those are your boxing gloves or melee weapon. This weapon deals +30% more damage but it smalls the wearer's health. In my opinion if you are being healed by a Medic, the health penalty from the Warrior's Spirit is negligible. The slight damage increase does not significantly aid in killing enemies faster, so consider using a different melee weapon to give yourself some utility.

The set bonus :
Equipping all three of these items increases the Heavy's critical hits damage resistance by 5%.

How to play Hibernating Bear

The item set grants a negligible resistance to critical hits that is rarely noticeable in standard play. Because the Warrior's Spirit lowers your maximum health, you will still die to a Sniper's fully charged critical headshot, even when overhealed. Despite the questionable utility of the bonus, the weapons themselves are great when operating alone or when on defense; the Brass Beast provides significant firepower while the Buffalo Steak Sandvich provides a speed boost to quickly reposition yourself. Note that a heavy using this item set cannot survive a fully charged headshot even when fully overhealed, as a headshot will still do 428 damage, while the Heavy's maximum HP when overhealed is 420.

How to fight against Hibernating Bear

A Heavy wearing this set is especially vulnerable to ambushes because of his lower health, slow spin-up speed, and even slower movement with the Brass Beast deployed. Hit-and-run tactics may prove to be effective against a Heavy using this set. A Heavy may eat the Buffalo Steak Sandvich and try to deal Mini-Crits on you; if you can, shoot him down before he can get within melee range.
The critical hit resistance this set provides is easily overcome by having you and your team unleash a barrage of attacks on the Heavy. Because the weapons in this set do increased damage, it is best to attack the Heavy from long-range.
