====Fat Scout/Shotgun Heavy====
{{topquote|I have seen other team, he is us! But itty bitty.|Red Fat Scout talking about Blu Scout}}

What happens when a Heavy trades his sandwich for a shotgun? Well you get the Fat Scout. The Fat Scout is actually surprisingly powerful (in casual mode, don't get any ideas competitive players) because most enemies when they see a Heavy they expect a slow lumbering target they can easily avoid, but now Fat Scout, free from the constraints of his minigun slowing him down is a fast (for a Heavy) offensive fighter who can chase down Soldiers, Demomen and those pesky Spies. It's still kind of a meme subclass though since you're still a relatively easy target to hit compared to an actual Scout.

<u>Pros</u>:
* No (or less) minigun use means that you can move without it's rev speed penalty.
* Enemies will underestimate how fast a heavy can be, especially with the Gloves of Running Urgently.
* Shotguns are still powerful, ask the Engineer mains, you can still point blank kill most classes quickly.

<u>Cons</u>: 
*Requires good single target aim with the shotgun, which if you spend most of your time playing as standard Heavy you'll have developed less since Heavies require tracking skill instead.
* Minigun damage is still way higher.
* Reloading time can be your downfall.
* No sandwich.
