The '''Quick-Fix''' is a [[Weapons#medicsecondary|secondary weapon]] for the [[Medic]]. It is a prototype [[Medi Gun]] with a group of three gauges on one side, a (cosmetic) [[ÜberCharge]] gauge on the other side, and what appears to be a blender for a body.  The main gun is coupled with a medicinal reactor backpack with [[Self-illumination|glowing portions]] that [[bodygroup|replaces]] Medic's default backpack.
 
  
−
Compared to the stock Medi Gun, the Quick-Fix heals players 40% faster and builds ÜberCharge 15% faster, but it has half the overheal capabilities, only able to raise health to 125% of maxmimum instead of 150%. It remains able to maintain greater overheal that has been obtained from another source. Deploying the ÜberCharge triples the healing rate and also heals the Medic at the same rate, while also providing immunity to all movement-impairing effects, such as [[knockback]], [[stun]], and [[slowdown]]; the charge does nothing to reduce incoming damage, making it ineffective against lethal damage.

Compared to the stock Medi Gun, the Quick-Fix heals players 40% faster and builds ÜberCharge 10% faster, but can only [[overheal]] up to 125% rather than 150%. It can maintain, but not increase, overheal over 125% obtained from another source. Since its maximum overheal is lower than the 142.5% ÜberCharge build rate penalty threshold, it can build ÜberCharge twice as fast as the stock Medi Gun, on top of the aforementioned 10% build rate boost.

Deploying the ÜberCharge triples the healing rate and heals the Medic at the same rate (granting him up to 125% overheal), while also providing immunity to all movement-impairing effects, such as [[knockback]], [[stun]], and [[slowdown]]. The charge does nothing to reduce incoming damage, making it ineffective against lethal burst damage. The reduced healing penalty applied under the effects of [[afterburn]] still apply under the Quick-Fix's ÜberCharge. While ÜberCharge is deployed, the Medic and his patient cannot capture or block a point, or push/block the cart, but they can carry the intelligence.
  
−
Like the other Medi Guns, the Quick-Fix lets the Medic match the speed of the patient he is actively healing. However, it also allows him to copy a patient's explosive jump, sending the Medic an equal force in the same direction, allowing him to follow teammates that launch themselves across the map (although after the initial force the Medic must control his own flight). This effect only functions when healing a Soldier, Demoman, or Pyro, and it only works on Medics directly healing the patient (it cannot be transferred across a chain of Medics). Finally, when healing a patient that fires a [[Grappling Hook]], the Medic will travel in the same direction at the same speed as the patient, and remain suspended until the hook or the healing is released.

Like other Medi Guns, healing with the Quick-Fix allows the Medic to match the speed of a faster target. However, it also mirrors a patient's explosive jump or shield charge, sending the Medic an equal force in the same direction, allowing him to follow teammates that launch themselves across the map (although after the initial force the Medic must control his own flight). This effect only functions when healing a Soldier, Demoman, or Pyro, and only works on Medics directly healing the patient (effect cannot be transferred across a chain of Medics). When healing a patient firing a [[Grappling Hook]], the Medic travels in the same direction at the same speed, remaining suspended until the hook is released or their healing beam is disconnected. Any kills that a patient gets are counted as an assist to the Medic.
  
 
The Quick-Fix was previously tested in ''[[Team Fortress 2 Beta]]''. The [[Beta Quick-Fix]], a separate variant of the weapon, was also available for use in the beta.

“
War historians will appreciate the original medigun— still handy even though the invuln function shorted out after its first use.
— Quick-Fix publicity blurb
 ”

The Quick-Fix is a secondary weapon for the Medic. It is a prototype Medi Gun with a group of three small gauges on one side, a decorative ÜberCharge gauge on the other, and what appears to be a blender for a body. The main gun is coupled with a medicinal reactor backpack with glowing portions that replaces Medic's default backpack.

Compared to the stock Medi Gun, the Quick-Fix heals players 40% faster and builds ÜberCharge 10% faster, but can only overheal up to 125% rather than 150%. It can maintain, but not increase, overheal over 125% obtained from another source. Since its maximum overheal is lower than the 142.5% ÜberCharge build rate penalty threshold, it can build ÜberCharge twice as fast as the stock Medi Gun, on top of the aforementioned 10% build rate boost.

Deploying the ÜberCharge triples the healing rate and heals the Medic at the same rate (granting him up to 125% overheal), while also providing immunity to all movement-impairing effects, such as knockback, stun, and slowdown. The charge does nothing to reduce incoming damage, making it ineffective against lethal burst damage. The reduced healing penalty applied under the effects of afterburn still apply under the Quick-Fix's ÜberCharge. While ÜberCharge is deployed, the Medic and his patient cannot capture or block a point, or push/block the cart, but they can carry the intelligence.

Like other Medi Guns, healing with the Quick-Fix allows the Medic to match the speed of a faster target. However, it also mirrors a patient's explosive jump or shield charge, sending the Medic an equal force in the same direction, allowing him to follow teammates that launch themselves across the map (although after the initial force the Medic must control his own flight). This effect only functions when healing a Soldier, Demoman, or Pyro, and only works on Medics directly healing the patient (effect cannot be transferred across a chain of Medics). When healing a patient firing a Grappling Hook, the Medic travels in the same direction at the same speed, remaining suspended until the hook is released or their healing beam is disconnected. Any kills that a patient gets are counted as an assist to the Medic.

The Quick-Fix was previously tested in Team Fortress 2 Beta. The Beta Quick-Fix, a separate variant of the weapon, was also available for use in the beta.

  • Dove droppings are seen on the main body of the Quick-Fix.
