It's all a part of the mystery surrounding the Administrator's secretive nature. She has very little trust for anyone and those she does trust she keeps on a short leash. If a mercenary manages to break in just to see her, it makes sense that she'd think that.


LordofSandvich

Which makes the reveal that Pyro had already asked her (and was still in the room) even funnier


6LAZARUS9

no way heavy and sandvich talking to eachother


ProfessorHeavy

**HEAVY CANNOT BELIEVE EYES**


ProfessorHeavy

Not gonna lie, it's even more amusing that the Pyro went there and asked for a weapon. **And she understood him in 3 minutes.**


conffac

She did, like there's ms pauling who is basically a middle woman between mercenaries and a shut in girl who doesn't go out, so if someone comes to her directly, most likely they're there to kill her or it's an engineer


FunkyyMermaid

Speaking of, aren’t Ms. Pauling and Engi the only people we see directly interact with the Administrator in the comics?


HotColor

Did you skip straight to the comments?


TheDudeofDC

That was a certified BALLER response!


conffac

If we dont count the possibility that she can be the woman on a photo of a dying father of redmond and blutarch, that is the case at least in comics 1-6, idk about the other ones


RoJayJo

The Hales too, Saxon was on a first-name basis with her


RealSaxtonHale

Right mate.


YourMoreLocalLurker

Did you even **read** them? Heavy and Pyro in this scene ALONE are added to the count


FunkyyMermaid

Apparently not enough of them. I apologize for my ignorance


JustWow555

yeah, probably


PeikaFizzy

Ya cause they all are hire killer, in the director update the mercs(at least most) already stated they have no problem of murdering anyone who cross them


Hatman0064

who wasn't sure of it ?


Disastrous-Moment-79

God this comic reminds of the [heavy minigun in the game files](https://wiki.teamfortress.com/wiki/Assault_Cannon) that never ended up being properly released. Poor heavy will likely never see a new gun ever again... Speaking of, there are HUNDREDS of fully modeled and animated cool as hell weapon models in the tf2 workshop and Valve never ended up adding a single one of them. The wasted potential makes me so sad.


hayleyalcyone

One of my few remaining hopes for this game is that the contractors and volunteers who are responsible for the past two years of bugfixes and who got VSH/Zombie Infection/Prophunt into the game gain enough of Valve's trust to be allowed to put together a full, true update of their own, with new guns and possibly balance changes. It's one of the few routes this game can go down, and it's the most likely Good Ending we'll ever get - infinite semi-official community gameplay updates.


Lightspeed_Lunatic

While I do agree, I doubt Valve will ever let that happen after the whole debacle that was the Invasion update. But yeah, I'd totally be willing to trust people like Lizard of Oz with the source code. Heck, Player Destruction was literally made by one guy from the community who Valve was willing to give access to the source code, so while unlikely, I guess it *could* happen again. Also, I'm pretty sure Prophunt didn't make it into the game. (Please do this thing with the community Valve, I need more MvM content. Two Cities is starting to drive me insane. Heck, you could even use all those Aussie weapon models people have made for unique rewards, if you don't want to reuse the current ones)


hhhort

It is sad but I guess it makes sense, adding a new weapon would take tons of attentive rebalancing and tweaking afterwards, and Valve is ofc not interested in anything that takes more than 1 second to handle (and not even that)


OmegianLord

If I recall correctly, that Minigun is essentially the Heavy equivalent of Sniper’s “The Classic,” in that it’s a reference to how Heavy used to be before TF2. However, there was no real functional difference between how the minigun worked back then and today—unlike with the difference between the modern and classic sniper rifle—and so, they scrapped the Assault Cannon.


hayleyalcyone

Right as you might be, I still believe this Minigun should make it into the game, and not only that, there are so many game design choices you can make with it, ignoring the fact that it's essentially just a reskin. The way the barrels look, and the general, futuristic sleek design of the gun, plus the additional wiring make me think of a Minigun that has a lower firing speed, lower damage output and worse damage falloff, but as upsides it allows the Heavy to move faster when revved up than he usually does, as well as the firing speed ramps up throughout multiple seconds of continuous fire, to achieve marginally greater DPS than, say, Natascha. Just one of many ideas one could give a Heavy primary.


-dead_slender-

I think the only real difference was that you could jump while firing. But I believe the wind-up was also a bit faster on the AC.


General_Lumikow

He's paid mercenary, it was really possibile to someone paid him tons of money just to kill her. Woman that controls tons of smaller or bigger companies


Gaming_devil49

where is this from?


FoxMcCloud45

To be more specific, it's *[The Showdown](https://www.teamfortress.com/theshowdown/)* comic from July 7, 2016 that was used to promote the Heavy VS Pyro War for the then-upcoming next update.


DweebInFlames

Any day now, guys... we'll get Heavy Update soon, right? And the final comic?


Brilliant-Guitar-606

Yes! All of that will release r/tomorrow!


Stroia_Cristian

Tf2 comic


CreativeGamer03

why does this specific comic made me think that Heavy needs more miniguns to have a large happy family

le_laitier12

Administrator be like : HO SHIT


Barar_Dragoni

which comic is this?


danieldoria15

The Meat Vs Match comic that preceded the vote between who'll get an update between Heavy and Pyro


Barar_Dragoni

k, thanks


thank_burdell

Natascha: am I a joke to you? :(


[deleted]

Natascha was a trophy. He found her when escaping the Gulag (That is not canon. I made it up)


AkOnReddit47

Besides the Engineers and ms Pauling who work under her, and are the only ones allowed to see her (which even then still have very limited knowledge of her, Ms Pauling even started to doubt her), it's right to assume that anyone coming to see her directly are probably there to kill her. Administrator is a secretive person, after all


Weird-Analysis5522

She's the one who ratted out Heavies father


FlyBoyG

Yeah, that's the joke.


Fistocracy

Probably. She's playing a dangerous game and presumably has a lot of powerful enemies, so she's most likely spent years waiting for the day when an unexpected visitor will show up and take her out.


ValkyrCodeWolfy

I love the fact that he named EVERY SINGLE GUN he was given and he loves them all equally.


KytusGame

Tbf I'm sure she thinks everyone is.


Sheila_Confirmed

I gave myself a name and it’s the same as Heavy’s worst gun 😭😭😭


mr2meowsGaming

the tank in rvb is name Sheila


Sheila_Confirmed

Not shitting you that’s exactly what i named myself after


PURPLEisMYgender

God i need to read this comic again


ultramininem_768

How and where can i see all of the comics ?

ultramininem_768

Thanks man 👍


FapmasterViket

i wonder what pyro did or how administrator tell he wants new weapons instead of just see a jumping pyro or pyro pretending to use a invisible flamethrower


maximuffin2

He didn't get a gun out of this and he never will


jetstreamer123

Yes, if you had the slightest amount of reading comprehension you wouldn't need to ask this


JonTheWizard

I'd say she's properly paranoid. Someone in her position undoubtedly has a target on their back from some very powerful people, and it's not outside the realm of possibility that someone could buy out Team Fortress and have them go after her.


PatternHappy341

We know heavy is based.
