-Since many people don't use heavy and underestimate it's tanking capabilities, you can use this to your advnatage. taking around 1000-2000hp and retreat. Tryhards and noobs will swarm to your location to try to kill you, than infect them.

-You are a large zombie with low mobility. don't be the one trying to get to high places, instead, act as a stepping stool for very mobile zombies, like sting, light, or banshee, the balcony near marketplace in italy is an example

-When in a vent, turn backwards and press s, espeicaly when ecountering alot of people. This will reduce the chances that you will get headshot if you die.

-set your secondary crouch key as mousedown or mouseup. this will open up the door for doing gs, it can reduce chances of headshot due to shifting hitbox, and can help you when ecountering people that are using weapons like TAR-21, AK47 Paladin, or Slasher/Reaper

-if on low hp and the hardening skill is avaible, press 5 to completely elimate humans ability to headshot you, also, in general, keep your armor up to keep tanking

-use the trap skill (g) on common places within the map that humans may travel on.

Strategy:
- Be the destraction. You are a large, tanky zombie, and becaue of that, people will notice and hit you. This gives more mobile zombies a chance to infect while they are distracted.

-In vents, be on the front line, if you can. You move very fast in vents, have very high stun and kb rest. and have very high damage absorption and slightly higher hp than other zombies, heavy is pretty much the best zombie for vent rushing.

-If someone with a powerful weapon that works best in short range aproaches you (some examples are Mangum Drill, Red Dragon Cannon, Blade Runebreaker, and Warhammer Storm Giant) get into a narrow part of the map and lay a trap. This gives you more control over the situation, if a human is trapped, carefuly infect them, making sure that person's weapon does not damage you (recomended greatly for the weapons i mentioned)

- no, it is not impossible to bunnyhop with heavy, do so to get your jump skill up.
- keep your finger on g, and use it whenever you can, allowing the special ability skill to go up.
