Heavy defense, or HD, is the name of a defensive position in Capture the Flag. The name comes from the fact that players of this position usually suit up in heavy armor and wait inside their base for enemy attackers. The main role of a heavy defense is to kill any enemy offense that gets inside his team's base. In the event that the base is destroyed during an attack, the HD is in charge of repairing all necessary generators and inventory stations once the attackers have been eliminated. Heavy defense is only used on maps where each team has a base of some sort that contains all of its equipment. With a low number of players per team, the heavy defense might also double as a farmer.
