Ha ha ha! Oktoberfest!
The Medic

Upon taunting with the Kritzkrieg equipped, the Medic puts his face up to the barrel of his weapon and inhales deeply before returning to work. This process will heal the player for 11 health.

Performing the taunt does not contribute to the ÜberCharge meter but will count towards the total healing on the scoreboard. It is possible to heal an ally while performing this taunt if the player has selected the 'Medi Gun heal after release' in Multiplayer options. The taunt proves invaluable when the player is taking passive damage such as fire or bleeding when natural health regeneration is too slow.

The Home Run can be used to kill enemy players during Humiliation and Stalemates.
