Previously the Medic and the Pyro were updated with new achievements and weapons. This time it is the Heavy's turn. There is also a ton of other content included with this update:
- 36 achievements for the Heavy
- 3 new weapons for the Heavy
- 6 new maps custom made by the community
- 1 new map made by Valve
- New game mode of play (similar to how they released the "Payload" game play mode when updating the Medic)
- Special new "Meet the ...." video installment. (probably the Pyro, and special because Pyro is female)
The Steam website is being updated each day with a reveal of more info on the content.
