— The Medic

”

Oktoberfest is one of the Medic's ability taunts. Upon taunting with the Kritzkrieg equipped, the Medic inhales a quick huff of healing energy out of the weapon's barrel; he then laughs and proclaims, "OKTOBERFEST!", in brief euphoria before the taunt ends.

Performing the taunt will heal the Medic for 10 health, discounting passive regeneration. This does not contribute to the ÜberCharge meter but will count towards the total healing displayed on the scoreboard. The taunt may prove invaluable when the player is at low health, out of sight of enemies, is taking passive damage from sources like afterburn and bleeding, or when natural health regeneration is too slow.

This special taunt can be used during humiliation and stalemates.

-*It is speculated that the inhale animation is a reference to marijuana in water pipes, but looking at the background of The Medic, it is more likely a reference to the smelling of brews during the Oktoberfest celebrations in Germany.
-*While patch notes and in-game tips state that the taunt heals 10 health, community testing has proven otherwise.
