TF2: Sandvich vs Dalokohs Bar

Heavy does not have Many Secondary Options, Either an assortment of food or an assortment of shotguns.

However 1 Option for Heavy pretty much Overshadows the rest of Heavy's items, that being the Sandvich.

However after many Hours of playing TF2, Being surrounded by a ton of Fat Men and even playing Heavy myself, I Found the Dalokahs Bar to be On par or even better then the Sandvich, so I thought why not Compare them together.

"But Ultra you don't Main heavy Anymore, you are a Demo main, why are you talking about the Heavy, you should just-"

Technically you're right but Considering that I Know a ton about heavy when I used to main him, the Heavy being the most important in an offensive push, and the Heavy's Lunch the best Friend of Medics, who are Important to the game. I figured that it was important enough for everyone to know.

First off is the sandvich

When Eaten it Recovers 300 Health in just a Few seconds, It can be Thrown with Right click to Heal Teammates, it Functions as a Medium Health Pack when Healing teammates. after it is used It takes 30 seconds to Recharge. or it will fully recharge by grabbing any health pack while at full health.

The Sandvich is pretty simple, Left click when you are hurt, right click when you medic is hurt, Simple 2 step Process, this weapon is really for the Medic and not much else. Heavys can throw it in a corner just in case the medic gets hurt, but throwing it early is also a one way ticket to the 30 Second Recharge, not fun. However Even Small health packs Fully Restore the Sanvich's Recharge and since the Sandvich when Thrown acts as a Medium health pack., Essentially turning 20% healing into 50% healing.

You can eat it yourself if you are REALLY hurt and there is no medic around. There is also a Rule, NEVER Eat it when there is a medic healing you. just dont. its annoying and irritating to see a heavy Eating in front of a medic, its like fake throwing a Frisbee for you dog, and while its wondering where its at it turns around as see you Eating the Frisbee.

Overall the Sandvich is a Very Viable Option, and I Recommend using it.

But that is not the only option. so to the Chocolate bar.

While the Sandvich is good. The Dalokohs Bar seems to have more versatility in it's Usage. it Heals 100 health when eaten, and it acts as a small health pack when thrown, However it has a much Faster recharge time of about 10 seconds, Meaning by the Time the Sandvich Recharges the Dalokohs bar will recharge 3 times. Plus when you Eat the Dalokohs bar it will give 50 extra max health for 30 seconds and give you a bit of overheal. when eaten too.

20 % healing when Thrown, While its small it can Save a medic's Life and get him out of the Red zone. Plus when the Dalokohs bar Recharges 3 times, it can Heal more then a Sandvich(since it takes the same time to recharge 3 Dalokohs bars and to recharge 1 sandvich)

It can not only Heal Your medic's Health but Yours as well. Granted it only heals 100 Health to Heavy, and 100 Health is not a lot for Heavy but it also overheals you and gives you 50 Extra health, Eating this at a Dispenser Will give you 350 Max health and that extra 50 Health can Save your life in a 1v1 fight Especially against other Heavies, Also the 50 Extra health can also help you in more ways, Since health packs Function on Percentage based. while the 50 Extra health is Active you makes small Health packs heal for 72 and Medium Packs Healing at 175. it also Increases the Overheal from the Quick fix from, 375 to 425, AND it also helps the Vaccinator's Pitiful Overheal Rate. Also when Paired with the Natacha or Brass Beast, The Damage Resistance kicks in at 175 health rather then 150 health.

In short, the Dalokohs bar is my most used Heavy Secondary for a reason. and no it is not because its my first Strange weapon

In Casual mode I Use the Bar more then the Sandvich. If there is no health packs nearby it can be a pain waiting for the 30 seconds. and I have more Fun with the Chocolate then the Sandvich.

The Chocolate bar takes more Skill to Master and is Harder to use, but it can be better then the Sandvich in most Situations.

And the Sandvich works best when pocketed by a Medic. and you want to keep your Medic Girlfriend alive and well.

Ultimately what you use is based on your personal Preference.

That is all today.
