I gave the Heavy that’s been kinda pseudo-living in my backyard this dish called Toast Hawai’i and he just stared at it, then me, and his Medic friend started looking a little angry so I just kinda. ran

Ah, yeah... unless you have a particularly good relationship with the Heavy it's generally best to stick with Russian and Slavic dishes, as they're more familiar. The Medic is definitely the one you want to look out for, as Medics are much more volatile than Heavies are.

*bursts through the door and practically collapses* uhhhhh is it possible for there to be a type of sandwich that Heavies don’t like ?

Well, I haven’t found much of what they don’t like (not really feeling like risking my life to test this :)), but I do know they tend to prefer taking

-ham & Bologna sandwiches

-chocolate

-those fish cake thingies

-steak

-bananas

-hunks of robotics that look a lot like the signature ham & bologna sandwiches??

Wait what did you do.

I was walking through a forest trail the other day when a Heavy clambered onto the path in front of me! He scared me half to death, and I’ll admit I thought I was gonna die. But he didn’t do anything. Just acknowledged I was there with a small nod and walked off. I’ve been walking this path every day for close to a year now, and I really don’t want to stop. Is there anything I could do to show the Heavy I’m friendly and just want to enjoy the scenery?

Well, he seems to already see you as friendly, as he never tried to hurt you! However, my suggestions would be the typical wear purple, bring supplies, and try to crouch to appear non-threatening

hey so theres this lone heavy thats been rooting through my trash outside at night? I found its tracks leading away from my house to the woods for the a week now. and I live somewhere a heavy isnt AT ALL a native species so i think maybe someone released it into the wild when they couldnt take care of it....? Do i call merc control? leave it be? im tempted to start feeding it myself but idk if itll be hostile or not... help meeee....

I always, ALWAYS recommend contacting us to retrieve any mercenaries. At all. Any of them. Even ones people want to keep. If the Heavy in question has been reduced to rooting through trash cans, then they're not in great shape and cannot forage properly.

I've gotten your location by [redacted] and am going to come pick up the Heavy. Do not approach them; they are probably dangerous in their condition and may misinterpret your intentions.

If you happen to find out what irresponsible person just left a Heavy somewhere that they aren't suited for... let me know.

hello! there's a heavy (i think) living somewhere near me. red. heavies are usually quite boisterous i think but i've only seen this one crouching in a corner with fists raised. haven't dared to approach him, but he keeps staring at me. is he sick?

I’m not fully sure, he might just be kinda shy or something? Maybe approach him with an offering I guess? (As always, be careful)

crouching is a pretty common sign of friendliness (though not always), and the fists raised thing is just common heavy posture. Do let me know what happens when you get closer, if I have more info I might be able to check for any typical signs of illness

Warrior and Care have become best friends. Warrior also keeps bringing in random animals for Care to experiment with. Is this normal for thoes of Cares species to experiment on wild animals? Should I let it happen?

Warrior is my Heavy, by the way.

It is perfectly normal for medics to experiment on wild animals. It’s a great form of enrichment, and if Warrior keeps Care supplied with animals it will keep Care from seeking out, uh, other subjects to experiment on. Such as Scouts.

I got a Heavy named Warrior. He has just met Care and Care adores him. I should note that yes, I made sure I got a RED Heavy.

That's fantastic! I'm glad to see that you're doing right by your Medic. :)
