The Basic Hoovy
The basic hoovy is the most common and most committed type of hoovy, it's scientific name is sandvich-dispenserous. The Basic Hoovy has a tendency to never attack and throw sandviches no matter what.

The Basic Hoovy Loadout:
Primary: Default Minigun
Secondary: Sandvich
Melee: Fists or Holiday Punch

Pros: most widely trusted hoovy

Cons: least able to defend themself

The Basic Hoovy is most commonly seen in the early stages of upward on the red team throwing Sandviches to the snipers in Blu spawn and retreating soldiers before the blue team can set up a sentry.


The Tank Hoovy
The Tank Hoovy is the longest lasting of the hoovys and is a hoovyfied version of the steak tank heavy strat publicized by Arrayseven (youtuber and medic main)

Tank Hoovy Loadout:
Primary: any Minigun
Secondary: Buffalo Steak Sandvich or The Sanvich for health-less maps
Melee: Fists of Steel

Pros: Can survive the most ranged weapon spam, and often survives much longer than the other types of hoovys listed in this guide

Cons: If an enemy can manage to get within your melee range, you minds well just hand them your ass on a silver platter

The Tank Hoovy is often seen walking around and tanking damage with ease on maps without large health packs such as powerhouse and a variety of trade servers.

The Bear Hoovy
The Bear Hoovy is the most able to defend himself in the event that someone attacks him.

Bear Hoovy loadout:
Cosmetic: The Bear Necessities
Primary: Tamislav
Secondary: Family Buisness or Buffalo Steak Sandvich
Melee: Warriors Spirit

Pros:
-The smartest, fastest, and overall best equipped heavy for a fight

Cons:
Widely untrusted

The Bear Hoovy is the least commited of the hoovys and always has a contingency plan to take care of tryhard scouts in a couple seconds.

The Bird Hoovy
Otherwise known as the Chicken Kiev or the Pootis heavy, it is said that during a full moon, you can hear the faint call of the Bird Hoovy in the wind, pootis, pooits, pooits, pootis, pootis. One day you may even be lucky enough to see one crouch-walking it's way through a deathrun server or munching a sandvich in the wilderness of Helltower.

Bird Hoovy Loadout:
Cosmetic: The Chicken Kiev
Primary: Default Minigun/Reskin
Secondary: Sandvich
Melee: Default Fists or Holiday Punch

Pros:
-More sexy than The Basic Hoovy

Cons:
-Pootis, Pootis, Pootis, Pootis, Pootis, Pootis, Pootis, Pootis, Pootis, Pootis, Pootis, Pootis, Pootis, Pootis, Pootis, Pootis, Pootis, Pootis, Pootis, Pootis, Pootis, Pootis, Pootis, Pootis, Pootis, Pootis, Pootis, Pootis, Pootis, Pootis, Pootis, Pootis, Pootis, Pootis, Pootis, Pootis, Pootis, Pootis, Pootis, Pootis, Pootis, Pootis, Pootis, Pootis, Pootis, Pootis, Pootis, Pootis, Pootis, Pootis, Pootis, Pootis, Pootis, Pootis, Pootis, Pootis, Pootis, Pootis, Pootis, Pootis, Pootis, Pootis, Pootis, Pootis, Pootis, Pootis, Pootis, Pootis, Pootis, Pootis, Pootis, Pootis, Pootis, Pootis, Pootis, Pootis, Pootis, Pootis,


The Spy Hoovy
"That hoovy is a spy"

Spy Hoovy Loadout:
-Letranger (for extra Deadringer time)
-Anything but the Your Eternal Reward or the Wanga Prick
-Deadringer

How to: As a Spy, open your disguise menu, in the top right corner (with the default HUD) you should see "change team" (key bound here). Click that key to change the team your disguise is on. Then, Choose the heavy. To take out your melee as heavy, swtich to your melee and repeat, to switch to your Sandvich or Shotgun, take out your sapper and repeat.

Pros:
-Able to get out of most situations with the Deadringer's speed boost and the Letranger's extra cloak time
-Is not a full time hoovy, if you want to defend the cart or get a couple backstabs to tip the tables of a game a little, you can

Cons:
-once the enemy discovers you're a spy, you'll be worse at staying alive than Billy Mays, even with the deadringer
