The Heavy Trooper is a soldier pumped up with propaganda and psychotropic drugs, sealed in a suit of bulletproof and blast-resistant armour, with a chaingun/grenade launcher as their weapon.

Tactics

Heavies possess a lust for battle that surpasses most Helghast troops; they are often seen taunting and threatening their foes in the thick of battle, while slowly advancing upon them and disregarding incoming fire. Heavily armoured and well-equipped, they can lay down a withering hail of bullets, shredding enemies that get caught out of cover, and will flush out anyone hiding in cover by lobbing grenades. 

The Heavy Trooper's weak spots are the red tanks on their backs, but in order to be able to hit them, you have to make them turn around by shooting them in the helmet or by throwing grenades at them. Conversely, they can also be taken down with a few direct hits from a rocket launcher (i.e. the VC9, since the M80 is not available in the Campaign). Once the tanks are destroyed, the Heavy explodes in a massive fireball that severely damages or destroys anything nearby.

This can be used to your advantage to clear the area of other foes. It is also suggested you take cover while trying to eliminate this opponent, for this soldier wields a weapon that is able to quickly take out entire squads of soldiers.
