| obtain-level = Easy-Medium
| obtain-text = The main difficulty with this achievement is finding a situation where five enemies will be conveniently gathered in one place. Situations in which this may occur include the start of the match or when the offensive team are crouched around the cart in a [[Payload]] map. Alternatively, if you are on the offensive team, you may find multiple enemies crowded around their control point. Remember that you do not need to kill five enemies, merely ignite them.
+
| obtain-text = Find a competent [[Pyro]] and ambush a clustered group of enemies. Enemies tend to gather together around [[Control Point (objective)|control points]] and at the start of rounds.

| obtain-text = Just kill an opponent with your Bonesaw/Übersaw/Vita-Saw or Syringe Gun/Blutsauger and taunt while standing over their body. This is safer to do on enemies you've killed behind friendly lines, like Spies or Scouts, since the chances will be considerably lower that you will be attacked while taunting. As with other taunt achievements that require the victim to be in the freeze cam shot, try to do it on someone that you did not kill with a Critical hit. You will not get this achievement if the server you are currently playing in has freezecams disabled.

| obtain-text = Usually happens incidentally. To increase your chances, go for achievements that overlap with a similar achievement for your patient, such as "Blast Assist" or "Doc, Stock and Barrel." Also, achievement servers would greatly increase your chances of obtaining this, due to the amount of people getting achievements. Note that helping an enemy Spy get "Insurance Fraud" does not count for this achievement.
+
| obtain-text = This achievement is largely out of your control and will be obtained incidentally as you play as the [[Medic]]. Helping an enemy [[Spy]] get any achievement will not count.

| obtain-level = Medium-Hard
 
| obtain-level = Medium-Hard
| obtain-text = Find a good Heavy (it helps if you are communicating via voice chat) and stick with him; as there is a corresponding Heavy achievement, players who do not have "Division of Labor" have an incentive to stick with you as well. Make good use of cover and make health and ammo stops regularly. Avoid wide open spaces, and watch out for Spies at all times. This may be easier if you heal a Heavy and wait for the enemy to attack rather than taking the fight to them. If at any point you have half or less of your health, find a health pack or other Medic immediately.
+
| obtain-text = This achievement coincides with "[[Obtaining Heavy achievements#Division of Labor|Division of Labor]]", a corresponding achievement for the Heavy. Find a good Heavy and communicate with him via [[voice chat]]. Play conservatively and save your [[ÜberCharge]] for emergencies only. Make good use of cover and watch out for any ambushes.
 
 
Whether you use the regular Medigun or the Kritzkrieg is your (and your Heavy's) choice. While the Medigun makes you invulnerable and can be used in a pinch to prevent your deaths, your Heavy may be tempted to charge forward dangerously and die once the ÜberCharge wears off, and enemies tend to quickly flee in the face of an invulnerable Heavy. The Kritzkrieg takes more skill to be used and cannot prevent either of you from dying, but can easily rack up 3-5 kills in a very short period of time if you can ambush the enemy team (such as when they are pushing the Payload cart and aren't expecting anything to show up), as well as be used more frequently.

| obtain-level = Medium-Hard
 
| obtain-level = Medium-Hard
| obtain-text = One difficulty lies with whether the Soldier can kill five enemies in eight seconds with the small magazine size of his [[Rocket Launcher]]. As such, a Kritzkrieg ÜberCharge is almost mandatory, since a hit with a Crit rocket is an almost guaranteed kill. The other difficulty lies in finding a situation in which five enemies will be standing in close proximity. Try at the start of a match after waiting for the enemy's ÜberCharges to wear off or when the offensive team are crouched around the cart in a Payload map. It is recommended to do this for a Soldier carrying the default Rocket Launcher, as the [[Direct Hit]]'s smaller blast radius will make it harder to kill multiple people with a single rocket, and a Crit rocket from the default Rocket Launcher will likely do enough damage to kill in any case. The [[Black Box]] is also similarly discouraged, due to its smaller magazine size.
+
| obtain-text = This achievement coincides with "[[Obtaining Soldier achievements#S*M*A*S*H|S*M*A*S*H]]", a corresponding achievement for the Soldier. The Soldier should combine the standard [[Rocket Launcher]] with your [[Kritzkrieg]] in order to deal large amounts of damage over a wide radius. Enemies tend to gather together around [[control point (objective)|control points]] and at the start of rounds.

| obtain-level = Medium
| obtain-text = The main difficulty of this achievement comes from the Heavy's slow speed combined with the short range of his melee attack, on top of finding a Heavy who is willing to waste an ÜberCharge in helping you with this achievement. As such, try to ambush foes, back them into a corner, or attack large groups of enemies during an assault when they are distracted. A Heavy using the [[K.G.B.]] may be more encouraged to attempt this achievement. It should be noted that you do not have to kill the enemies, just punch two different enemies at least once each.
+
| obtain-text = Find a Heavy that is willing to cooperate and ambush foes using any melee weapon of the Heavy's choice. He needs to only punch, not kill, your enemies, so having him use the [[Buffalo Steak Sandvich]] or [[G.R.U.]] for a running speed boost is a viable tactic for this achievement. Your ÜberCharge should keep both of you out of harm's way while attempting this.

| obtain-text = This one isn't hard, it just takes a very long amount of time. Play maps where a lot of people require healing constantly, such as Dustbowl or Gold Rush. Achievement progress is only updated when you die or a round ends. Staying alive longer and doing big stretches of healing will net you this achievement quickly and if you've decided to play the medic as your main class, you aquire this achievement in fifty hours or less.
+
| obtain-text = This achievement will naturally be obtained after a modest amount of time playing as the [[Medic]]. Healing done by the [[Crusader's Crossbow]], [[Medi Gun]], [[Kritzkrieg]], [[Quick-Fix]], [[Vaccinator]], and [[Amputator]] will count towards this achievement.

| obtain-level = Medium
| obtain-text = Due to the low health of the Medic class as well as their low offensive capability, this achievement can be quite difficult. Try to ambush weaker foes with the [[Bonesaw]]/[[Übersaw]]/[[Vita-Saw]] or [[Syringe Gun]]/[[Blutsauger]] and use an ÜberCharge if necessary, preferably the regular variety. As long as you both live you can try to build up another charge and get up to three kills. Alternatively, you could try the [[Medic strategy#Double Medic Strategy|Double Medic Strategy]]. It doesn't matter who does the killing and who does the healing; once the attacking Medic gets his third kill, both Medics will receive the achievement.
+
| obtain-text = Coordinate with a fellow [[Medic]] to take down the same foes. Because the Medic's offensive capabilities are lacking, fight against weaker enemies and deploy an [[ÜberCharge]] if necessary. It does not matter who does the killing or healing. If feeling ambitious, the two of you can utilize the [[Chain Über]] strategy to take on multiple enemies at a time. Due to [[Medieval Mode]]'s lack of Medi Guns, the Medic can be much more aggressive. Using the Amputator's [[Medicating Melody]], it is possible to assist another Medic.

| obtain-text = Should happen eventually after a modest amount of time as Medic. Ask your [[Medic buddy]] if they have a nemesis and if so, make them a priority target. Remember to switch between teammates as necessary, as any of your patients will usually be harder to Dominate due to being healed by you.
+
| obtain-text = Heal all of your teammates as they fight. As they take [[Domination#Revenge|revenge]] on their Nemeses, you will earn points towards this achievement. Assisting in killing your own Nemeses will also count towards this achievement.

| obtain-text = Happens eventually, but takes some time. Due to Scouts' speed, you have to lead them farther than other classes to hit them, so to make things easier try to backpedal while firing to get them to charge at you. The [[Blutsauger]] is an effective weapon for this, as Scouts pack a punch at close range and passive healing is not enough to keep up with the damage they do. Try to lead Scouts around corners or through corridors where they cannot dodge your syringes as easily. Ctf_Turbine's ventilation systems are a good place to start at the start of a round since the scout will get to your vents before any other class in most cases.  
+
| obtain-text = Scouts will often target you due to your ability to heal others. If there are no teammates around, backpedal while using the [[Blutsauger]] to lower the damage you take. Due to the Scout's high speed, you will have to lead them accordingly to land hits. Kills made with [[Crusader's Crossbow]] will not count toward this achievement.

| obtain-text = This occurs frequently at the beginning of a round when Medics have their ÜberCharge meters full. Just wait until the enemy Medics have deployed their ÜberCharges and then activate your own while one of theirs is active. This happens frequently in attack and defend style maps such as dustbowl, at the start of the round.
+

| obtain-level = Medium
| obtain-text = Simply play regularly as a Medic, but rely more on your teammates to kill anybody attacking you rather than defending yourself, don't take out a weapon unless you are absolutely sure that you will get an assist rather than a kill; for the purposes of this achievement, it is easier to let an enemy kill you than for you to kill the enemy, as you can simply respawn and continue healing. Try to keep everybody on your team fully healed, and deploy ÜberCharges as necessary. Instead of focusing on giving one teammate all the ÜberCharges, try to spread them around so that no one teammate gets all the kills. When leading charges with a patient, remember to continually focus on keeping them healed so that you get assists for the kills. Remember that you must not only score as an MVP for a round, you must be the top of the team.
+
| obtain-text = The majority of a Medic's points come from [[Kill assist|assists]]. Rely on your [[Medic buddy]] to do the killing as you heal them. Keep everyone fully healed and deploy [[ÜberCharge]]s as needed. Spread your healing so that no single teammate is able to take a large point lead over you. It is possible to play and get kills as a different class beforehand; as long as you switch to Medic and then refrain from killing enemies until the round ends, you can attain this achievement.

Particularly be aware of Spies attempting to get the "FYI I am a Spy" or "Insurance Fraud" achievements. In most cases it will take more than one hit, but every now and then you will get lucky and land a Crit on the first attack.

| obtain-text = Requires a little teamwork, if there are at least two other Medics then plan it with them. This is easiest at the start of a match since you can all build your ÜberCharge meters uninterrupted during the setup period as long as two Medics do not heal the same target.
+
| obtain-text = Coordinate with two other [[Medic]]s to accomplish this. Oddly enough, the other Medics do not have to be on the same team as you. This is easier to accomplish at the start of the match, as the setup phase will give plenty of time for the three of you to charge your ÜberCharge meters.

| obtain-text = Use the Join Game option from the Friends window in the Steam Community program (from in-game, hit Shift + Tab to bring up the Friends window); joining the game using other methods will not work. You must Über the friend without dying, so is a good idea to fill the ÜberCharge in the respawn room, and view the current kills. Knowing the respawn time, wait him to respawn and ÜberCharge him after getting out of the gates. If you die the first time, try reconnecting. Also, if you are healing your friend and another Medic deploys an ÜberCharge on them, you will get the achievement.

Alternatively, you may get this incidentally by identifying an enemy Spy that has called for a Medic, and bumping into him after you've started healing him. As with "FYI I am a Medic," vigilant Spy checking will get you this achievement fairly easily.

Make sure the flames go out while the beam from your healing gun is focused on them, and that you are the only person healing them when this happens. A fast way to get this achievement is to heal friendly Pyros while they are fighting other Pyros, because when hit by fire, they will extinguish themselves instantly, counting toward the achievement every time they are hit by the enemy.

| obtain-text = Teammates on fire should take priority when deciding who to heal first.

{{Show achievement|Medic|Intern

| obtain-level = Medium-Hard
+
| obtain-level = Hard
| obtain-text = Simply play Medic as normal, but place more priority on healing injured teammates and surviving. Play maps where a lot of people require healing constantly, such as Dustbowl or Gold Rush, or play at the back of a map but near teammates taking damage (the Sniper deck on 2Fort is ideal, though be mindful of local server rules regarding this tactic). Stay out of the enemy line of fire and have some form of cover in sight at all times, and make sure to always keep moving and checking your back so that Snipers and Spies can't get easy kills on you. One way to build up points is by backing up two Heavies by yourself and continually heal both as they get into the action; few people will target a Medic over two Heavies. Know when to cut your losses and ditch your patient if your situation is hopeless; be sure not to accompany your buddy on suicide ÜberCharge runs unless you are 100% sure that you will survive. Playing on 27/7 CTF servers that have the time and capture limits disabled can make this achievement easier as you don't have to work against the clock.
+
| obtain-text = Stay near the back of all firefights while constantly healing your teammates. Place priority on your own survival; never accompany your [[Medic buddy]] on suicide runs and always save your [[ÜberCharge]] for emergencies while staying out of harm's way. [[Overheal]]ing teammates will count towards this achievement. Because you will not receive any progress reports, you can press the 'tab' key to check how much healing you have done. After fulfilling the requirements, you will not receive this achievement until the round has ended or you have died.
 
 
You can press TAB to see how much total healing you have done, though this will be the total amount of time while on that server, so subtract your total healing points at the beginning of the round. Keep in mind that overheal points still count as healing done; this means that during the round setup time, you should overheal every person on your team, this alone can net you 1000 heal points before the round has even started.  Be sure to overheal everyone you see (within reason) when the round actually starts, Engineers, Snipers, and Spies often get overlooked when it comes to overhealing. You will not receive progress on this achievement while you're earning it and you will not earn it until you die.

| obtain-level = Medium-Hard
 
| obtain-level = Medium-Hard
| obtain-text = A rather situational achievement. Find a map with areas that often have a number of buildings situated in one area such as near the final point in [[Dustbowl]] stage 2, in the raised area past the building near the second terminus of [[Gold Rush]] stage 2, or in the sewers in [[2Fort]] (if doing this it's best to enter from the water as the bend in the sewer is closer here.) This is far easier to get if the enemy is [[turtling]]. Since there will be inevitably be a number of Sentry Guns and [[Critical hit|Crits]] do not affect buildings, a regular ÜberCharge is highly preferable. Try not to get into a situation where you or your parter can be [[juggling|juggled]] (such as anywhere where you have to make a drop) and watch for Pyros with [[compression blast]]. This is considerably easier if you are partnered with a competent Demoman with a microphone.
+
| obtain-text = This achievement coincides with "[[Obtaining Demoman achievements#"Tam O'Shatter"|Tam O'Shatter]]", a corresponding achievement for the Demoman. While the Demoman excels at destroying [[buildings]], the difficult part of this achievement is finding five buildings to destroy in the eight seconds an ÜberCharge is active. To protect the Demoman during this spree of aggression, use the standard, invincibility-granting ÜberCharge and run in front of him to draw Sentry Gun fire.
 
 
Whether the Demoman is carrying the default Sticky Bomb Launcher or the [[Scottish Resistance]] can affect the tactics used. While the Sticky Bomb Launcher is easier to use, the Scottish Resistance can launch bombs faster, potentially allowing the Demoman to place more stickies in an area. However, the Scottish Resistance must also be aimed in order to detonate, which can be hard to do in the heat of battle.

As long as you keep healing, you'll get the achievement when he lands. A Soldier who is low on health can also rocket jump while you heal him to achieve the same result.

| obtain-level = Very Easy
| obtain-text = Join a map on defense where a Sentry Gun will normally be covering a critical chokepoint such as Dustbowl or Gold Rush, and heal the Engineer as he repairs his Sentry Gun when the enemy are making their push. You may also aquire this by having the engineer build his machines in the setup phase, then hauling them up to the frontlines as soon as the gates open. This works well in maps such as Dustbowl. Keeping the overheal on the engineer will help in keeping him alive long enough to build his guns up but this will attract a considerable amount of attention from the attackers however since you both may seem like easy targets.
+
| obtain-text = This achievement coincides with "[[Obtaining Engineer achievements#"Doc, Stock, and Barrel"|Doc, Stock, and Barrel]]", a corresponding achievement for the Engineer. When an Engineer is repairing a Sentry Gun that is under fire, heal him to negate any residual damage he might take.

| obtain-text = Difficult on a regular server, especially if the other Medic decides to use a Syringe Gun/Blutsauger rather than use his saw. Try to join a server that specializes in duel or melee type maps. If you do want to do this on a regular server, try to sneak up behind enemy Medics as they are healing someone and Bonesaw them before they or their buddy can react; if his buddy is preoccupied and they are ÜberCharged, you can attempt to get near the Medic and attack as soon as the charge wears off. Remember to kill the Medics with your Bonesaw and not the Syringe Gun. Also, using the regular Bonesaw instead of the Übersaw may help with this achievement, as it has a higher rate of fire.

+
| obtain-level = Medium-Hard
| obtain-text = Fill up your ÜberCharge meter, then stay near health respawns and areas with cover, ambushing weak and distracted foes and playing it safe; killing enemy Spies will also help with this achievement. Try not to keep your Medigun out as the undeployed Über will be highly noticeable and make you a prime target. Using the Blutsauger and Bonesaw is recommended, as the Blutsauger gives you additional staying power while you're in the action and the Bonesaw can get in more hits on a target at close range; if you want, you can use the Übersaw to fill up your ÜberCharge meter beforehand, and switch it out once the meter is filled (remember not to change your MediGun, as doing so will reset the meter). It also helps to have another Medic healing you, preferably with the basic ÜberCharge. This will greatly increase your longevity.
+
| obtain-text = After filling your ÜberCharge meter, play conservatively and only attack weak or distracted enemies. The [[Blutsauger]] will give you increased survivability in combat. If you are having trouble, have another [[Medic]] heal you as you fight.

| obtain-text = Join a game where no one is playing Medic, as any class except Medic, (this is more likely on defense,) wait for a nearby teammate to call for healing, then change class to Medic and get to healing. The trick is to find a team that has no Medics to begin with, as healing 500 health is no problem at all. You will not receive progress on this achievement while you're earning it and you will not earn it until you die.

| obtain-level = Medium
| obtain-text = This will usually occur during the start of a match, or when you and your patient are making a push on the final point. An ÜberCharge should help your buddy become a priority target for at least four enemies. Maps such as Gold Rush and Dustbowl often start with a huge firefight, so these maps are your best bets. Ideally, you should heal a Heavy, both because an overhealed Heavy has the most HP in the game and because a revved-up Heavy is easier to hit for the enemy.
+
| obtain-text = A teammate on the front lines will draw much of the enemy's fire and should typically receive priority for healing. Keep an [[ÜberCharge]] handy in case the two of you are overwhelmed.

| obtain-level = Hard
| obtain-text = Try to take a group of enemies by surprise or ideally, a distracted Heavy, who should take five hits alone before either of you kills the other. Circle strafe around him if he reacts before you get five hits in. The normal Bonesaw may be preferable to the Übersaw as it lets you get more hits in, thus reducing the amount of time that you are in danger. Ideally, don't attempt to attack a target unless you are sure that you will hit him, and don't be afraid to take out your Syringe Gun/Blutsauger and retreat if you don't think you can win. The hits don't need to be within a certain period of time, simply don't miss or die before getting your five hits. You can also attempt to get this simply through uncovering and killing Spies, which is safer but also harder, as Spies will most definitely try to avoid being hit by you.
+
| obtain-text = The [[Bonesaw]] is a sound way to defend yourself at close range, but using it for a prolonged fight can be difficult. Use your slightly higher [[speed]] and health regeneration to hold the advantage in melee fights. The hits do not have to be done in quick succession, but don't switch weapons, as doing so will reset the achievement progress.
Another possibility is to attack an enemy Medic while he uses an ÜberCharge on his teammate. The achievement does not require you to do damage, only to hit an enemy.

| obtain-text = This can be done easily before the match has even begun. Simply fill your ÜberCharge meter during the setup period, activate it and switch rapidly between two targets as you are waiting in the spawn area. If possible, ask your targets if they can stand still next to one another in front of you. If it doesn't work, try again, but wait a second or two on the first target, then start switching rapidly. You need to keep the charge active for a certain period of time, so to be safe expend your entire charge while rapidly switching between the two players (as you are essentially wasting the ÜberCharge in any case, there's nothing to lose by doing this).
+
| obtain-text = When you deploy your ÜberCharge, rapidly shift between healing two different teammates to keep them both in an invulnerable state.

Simply make sure not to any teammates that are being healed by other Medics, as double-healing will slow the both of you down. Using the [[Kritzkrieg]] instead of the standard [[Medigun]] can help you earn this achievement, due to the 25% faster charge rate.

Using the Kritzkrieg can be helpful since it charges 25% faster than the Medigun and Critical hits will net you kills faster.

If you want to do it intentionally then wait for a Crit rocket, as they move slowly and are easier to react to in time (note: be sure to distinguish between rockets from the default Rocket Launcher and those from the [[Direct Hit]], and change your timing accordingly). ÜberCharging a friendly Demoman when he has planted a Critical sticky and getting him to detonate can also help you get this achievement.

| obtain-text = Try to have a high endurance, high damage class such as a [[Heavy]], [[Demoman]] or [[Soldier]] as your [[Medic buddy]], though a Heavy is preferable due to his lesser dependence on [[ammo]]. Try to take points that are not being heavily assaulted by teammates (such a Point A on [[Gravel Pit]]) so that they do not receive [[assist kills]] and if possible, refrain from capturing the point until you have obtained the achievement and instead wait for the enemy to come to you. If you have an [[ÜberCharge]] and the situation is hectic, use it. Additionally, a Kritzkrieg may be more useful than a regular ÜberCharge, as enemies may not stay on their point itself for long unless a teammate is capping it, it increases the odds of actually getting a kill rather than an assist, and they're less likely to scatter upon seeing a Kritzkrieg as opposed to a regular ÜberCharge. Certain points will be easier to get this achievement on, such as point A on [[Steel]] or the second point on [[Dustbowl]] stage 1, as Engineers are more likely to build on the point itself and thus there is a higher chance of catching enemies crowding around a Dispenser.

| obtain-text = Due to the size of the Scout's magazine and the sporadic damage of the [[Scattergun]], an ÜberCharge with the [[Kritzkrieg]] is preferable if you can take the enemy by surprise. Situations in which three enemies may be found in one place include the start of the match or when the offensive team are crouched around the cart in a Payload map. Note that this is easier to achieve by supporting a Scout not equipped with the [[Force-A-Nature]], due to the need to reload after two shots, and the [[knockback]] may make it harder to kill targets. Furthermore, try to make sure that the Scout is carrying a Pistol so that he can use the additional firepower to bring down targets at long range.

| obtain-text = This achievement coincides with "[[Obtaining Scout achievements#""Doctoring the Ball"|Doctoring the Ball]]", a corresponding achievement for the Scout. The Scout's mobility should be enough to avoid damage, so assist with the [[Kritzkrieg]] to increase his crowd control capabilities. It is preferable that the Scout equip the [[Scattergun]] or [[Shortstop]] as his primary weapon so that he spends less time reloading. Alternatively, he can use [[Crit-a-Cola]] in tandem with your standard ÜberCharge.

Latest revision as of 12:40, 20 October 2024

Autoclave
Autoclave
Assist in burning 5 enemies with a single ÜberCharge on a Pyro.
Difficulty: Easy-Medium
How to obtain: Find a competent Pyro and ambush a clustered group of enemies. Enemies tend to gather together around control points and at the start of rounds.


Autopsy Report
Autopsy Report
Provide an enemy with a freezecam shot of you taunting above their ragdoll.
Difficulty: Easy
How to obtain: Immediately after killing an enemy, taunt over their body.


Bedside Manner
Bedside Manner
Be healing a teammate as he achieves an achievement of his own.
Difficulty: Very Easy
How to obtain: This achievement is largely out of your control and will be obtained incidentally as you play as the Medic. Helping an enemy Spy get any achievement will not count.


Big Pharma
Big Pharma
Assist a Heavy in killing 10 enemies, where neither of you die.
Difficulty: Medium-Hard
How to obtain: This achievement coincides with "Division of Labor", a corresponding achievement for the Heavy. Find a good Heavy and communicate with him via voice chat. Play conservatively and save your ÜberCharge for emergencies only. Make good use of cover and watch out for any ambushes.


Blast Assist
Blast Assist
Assist in exploding 5 enemies with a single ÜberCharge on a Soldier.
Difficulty: Medium-Hard
How to obtain: This achievement coincides with "S*M*A*S*H", a corresponding achievement for the Soldier. The Soldier should combine the standard Rocket Launcher with your Kritzkrieg in order to deal large amounts of damage over a wide radius. Enemies tend to gather together around control points and at the start of rounds.


Blunt Trauma
Blunt Trauma
Assist in punching 2 enemies with a single ÜberCharge on a Heavy.
Difficulty: Medium
How to obtain: Find a Heavy that is willing to cooperate and ambush foes using any melee weapon of the Heavy's choice. He needs to only punch, not kill, your enemies, so having him use the Buffalo Steak Sandvich or G.R.U. for a running speed boost is a viable tactic for this achievement. Your ÜberCharge should keep both of you out of harm's way while attempting this.


Chief of Staff
Chief of Staff
Accumulate 1 million total heal points.
Difficulty: Easy
How to obtain: This achievement will naturally be obtained after a modest amount of time playing as the Medic. Healing done by the Crusader's Crossbow, Medi Gun, Kritzkrieg, Quick-Fix, Vaccinator, and Amputator will count towards this achievement.


Consultation
Consultation
Assist a fellow Medic in killing 3 enemies in a single life.
Difficulty: Medium
How to obtain: Coordinate with a fellow Medic to take down the same foes. Because the Medic's offensive capabilities are lacking, fight against weaker enemies and deploy an ÜberCharge if necessary. It does not matter who does the killing or healing. If feeling ambitious, the two of you can utilize the Chain Über strategy to take on multiple enemies at a time. Due to Medieval Mode's lack of Medi Guns, the Medic can be much more aggressive. Using the Amputator's Medicating Melody, it is possible to assist another Medic.


Doctor Assisted Homicide
Doctor Assisted Homicide
Assist in killing 20 nemeses.
Difficulty: Easy
How to obtain: Heal all of your teammates as they fight. As they take revenge on their Nemeses, you will earn points towards this achievement. Assisting in killing your own Nemeses will also count towards this achievement.


Does It Hurt When I Do This?
Does It Hurt When I Do This?
Kill 50 Scouts with your syringe gun.
Difficulty: Medium
How to obtain: Scouts will often target you due to your ability to heal others. If there are no teammates around, backpedal while using the Blutsauger to lower the damage you take. Due to the Scout's high speed, you will have to lead them accordingly to land hits. Kills made with Crusader's Crossbow will not count toward this achievement.


Double Blind Trial
Double Blind Trial
Deploy an ÜberCharge within 8 seconds of a nearby enemy Medic deploying his.
Difficulty: Very Easy
How to obtain: Counter an enemy Medic's ÜberCharge by deploying your own, especially when on the defensive. If the Kritzkrieg or Quick-Fix meets the standard ÜberCharge, the standard ÜberCharge will win.


Family Practice
Family Practice
ÜberCharge 5 of your Steam Community Friends.
Difficulty: Easy
How to obtain: Join a game where a friend is currently playing and deploy an ÜberCharge on him. You must charge five different friends for this achievement, so charging the same friend several times will not work.


First Do No Harm
First Do No Harm
Play a full round without killing any enemies, and score the highest on a team of 6 or more players.
Difficulty: Medium
How to obtain: The majority of a Medic's points come from assists. Rely on your Medic buddy to do the killing as you heal them. Keep everyone fully healed and deploy ÜberCharges as needed. Spread your healing so that no single teammate is able to take a large point lead over you. It is possible to play and get kills as a different class beforehand; as long as you switch to Medic and then refrain from killing enemies until the round ends, you can attain this achievement.


FYI I am A Medic
FYI I am A Medic
Use your bonesaw to kill a spy who has been calling for 'Medic!'.
Difficulty: Medium
How to obtain: Spy-check any suspicious players who ask for healing. If you are certain they are a Spy, hit them several times for the kill.


Grand Rounds
Grand Rounds
Heal 200 teammates after they've called for 'Medic!'.
Difficulty: Easy
How to obtain: This achievement will naturally be obtained after a modest amount of time playing as the Medic. Stay near firefights and respond to your teammates' calls.


Group Health
Group Health
Work with 2 other Medics to deploy 3 simultaneous ÜberCharges.
Difficulty: Medium
How to obtain: Coordinate with two other Medics to accomplish this. Oddly enough, the other Medics do not have to be on the same team as you. This is easier to accomplish at the start of the match, as the setup phase will give plenty of time for the three of you to charge your ÜberCharge meters.


House Call
House Call
Join a game that one of your friends is in and then deploy an ÜberCharge on him.
Difficulty: Easy
How to obtain: Use the "Join Game" option from the Friends window in the Steam Community program. After joining, do not die before deploying the ÜberCharge on your friend. If a server changes maps, the system will count you as joining a friend's game.


Hypocritical Oath
Hypocritical Oath
Kill an enemy Spy that you have been healing.
Difficulty: Easy
How to obtain: Once you identify a Spy, heal then quickly kill him using any means necessary.


Infernal Medicine
Infernal Medicine
Extinguish 100 burning teammates.
Difficulty: Easy
How to obtain: Teammates on fire should take priority when deciding who to heal first.


Intern
Intern
Accumulate 7000 heal points in a single life.
Difficulty: Hard
How to obtain: Stay near the back of all firefights while constantly healing your teammates. Place priority on your own survival; never accompany your Medic buddy on suicide runs and always save your ÜberCharge for emergencies while staying out of harm's way. Overhealing teammates will count towards this achievement. Because you will not receive any progress reports, you can press the 'tab' key to check how much healing you have done. After fulfilling the requirements, you will not receive this achievement until the round has ended or you have died.


Medical Breakthrough
Medical Breakthrough
Assist in destroying 5 enemy Engineer buildings with a single ÜberCharge on a Demoman.
Difficulty: Medium-Hard
How to obtain: This achievement coincides with "Tam O'Shatter", a corresponding achievement for the Demoman. While the Demoman excels at destroying buildings, the difficult part of this achievement is finding five buildings to destroy in the eight seconds an ÜberCharge is active. To protect the Demoman during this spree of aggression, use the standard, invincibility-granting ÜberCharge and run in front of him to draw Sentry Gun fire.


Medical Intervention
Medical Intervention
Save a falling teammate from dying on impact.
Difficulty: Medium
How to obtain: When you see a teammate flung into the air by an explosion, concentrate your Medi Gun on him to reduce the risk that he dies from fall damage.


Midwife Crisis
Midwife Crisis
Heal an Engineer as he repairs his sentry gun while it's under enemy fire.
Difficulty: Very Easy
How to obtain: This achievement coincides with "Doc, Stock, and Barrel", a corresponding achievement for the Engineer. When an Engineer is repairing a Sentry Gun that is under fire, heal him to negate any residual damage he might take.


Peer Review
Peer Review
Kill 10 Medics with your bone saw.
Difficulty: Medium
How to obtain: If there are no teammates nearby, attempt to defeat the other Medic using your melee weapon.


Placebo Effect
Placebo Effect
Kill 2 enemies in a single life, while having your ÜberCharge ready, but undeployed.
Difficulty: Medium-Hard
How to obtain: After filling your ÜberCharge meter, play conservatively and only attack weak or distracted enemies. The Blutsauger will give you increased survivability in combat. If you are having trouble, have another Medic heal you as you fight.


Play Doctor
Play Doctor
In a team with no Medics, be the first person to switch to Medic after a teammate calls for 'Medic!', and then heal 500 health.
Difficulty: Very Easy
How to obtain: When no teammate is playing as Medic, wait for one to call for healing, then switch classes and go about your business. After fulfilling the requirements, you will not receive this achievement until the round has ended or you have died.


Preventive Medicine
Preventive Medicine
Block the enemy from capturing a control point with an ÜberCharged teammate.
Difficulty: Easy
How to obtain: Activate an ÜberCharge while you, your Medic buddy, and the enemy are on a control point. Your actions will be counted as a defense, earning you the achievement.


Quadruple Bypass
Quadruple Bypass
Heal a teammate who's taking fire from 4 enemies at once.
Difficulty: Medium
How to obtain: A teammate on the front lines will draw much of the enemy's fire and should typically receive priority for healing. Keep an ÜberCharge handy in case the two of you are overwhelmed.


Sawbones
Sawbones
Hit enemies with your bonesaw 5 times in a row without dying or missing.
Difficulty: Hard
How to obtain: The Bonesaw is a sound way to defend yourself at close range, but using it for a prolonged fight can be difficult. Use your slightly higher speed and health regeneration to hold the advantage in melee fights. The hits do not have to be done in quick succession, but don't switch weapons, as doing so will reset the achievement progress.


Second Opinion
Second Opinion
ÜberCharge 2 teammates at once.
Difficulty: Easy
How to obtain: When you deploy your ÜberCharge, rapidly shift between healing two different teammates to keep them both in an invulnerable state.


Specialist
Specialist
Accumulate 10000 heal points in a single life.
Difficulty: Very Hard
How to obtain: This is the extended version of Intern. While the next 3000 healing points may not seem like too large of a stretch, continue to play conservatively.


Surgical Prep
Surgical Prep
Have an ÜberCharge ready before the Setup phase ends.
Difficulty: Very Easy
How to obtain: Heal a teammate during the setup phase until your ÜberCharge meter is full. You should not have to put any effort into this, as the ÜberCharge meter fills at three times the maximum rate during setup.


Trauma Queen
Trauma Queen
Deploy 3 ÜberCharges in less than 5 minutes, and assist in 5 kills during that time.
Difficulty: Medium
How to obtain: Stay in the back of large firefights while constantly healing teammates (especially injured ones) to ensure your ÜberCharge meter builds quickly. While you can use any secondary healing tool, the Vaccinator, the Quick-Fix, and the Ubersaw help you deploy your ÜberCharge rapidly.


Triage
Triage
Deploy an ÜberCharge on a teammate less than a second before they're hit by a critical explosive.
Difficulty: Easy-Medium
How to obtain: If you see a critical rocket or grenade headed towards your teammate, react quickly and save them with your ÜberCharge. Incidentally, using your ÜberCharge on a Demoman or Soldier who hits themselves with a critical projectile will also grant this achievement.


Ubi concordia, ibi victoria
Ubi concordia, ibi victoria
Assist in killing 3 enemies on an enemy control point, in a single life.
Difficulty: Medium-Hard
How to obtain: Keep a strong Medic buddy nearby as you hold a point against multiple enemies. Save your ÜberCharge for just in case the two of you are overwhelmed.


You'll Feel a Little Prick
You'll Feel a Little Prick
Assist in killing 3 enemies with a single ÜberCharge on a Scout.
Difficulty: Hard
How to obtain: This achievement coincides with "Doctoring the Ball", a corresponding achievement for the Scout. The Scout's mobility should be enough to avoid damage, so assist with the Kritzkrieg to increase his crowd control capabilities. It is preferable that the Scout equip the Scattergun or Shortstop as his primary weapon so that he spends less time reloading. Alternatively, he can use Crit-a-Cola in tandem with your standard ÜberCharge.
