Every successful hit against an enemy player with this weapon adds 25% to the player's [[ÜberCharge]] meter, at the cost of a 20% slower swing rate. This effect still applies to a [[Scout]] under the effects of [[Bonk! Atomic Punch]]; however, the Scout will not receive any damage. Its [[critical hit]] animation is an upwards sawing motion, similar to the animation used by the Bonesaw.

“
Four hits with this new weapon will fully charge whatever medigun the Medic has equipped.
— Ubersaw publicity blurb
 ”

The Ubersaw is an unlockable melee weapon for the Medic. It is a cleaver-like blade fixed into a bonesaw grip, with a large syringe filled with team-colored, glowing liquid.

Compared to the Bonesaw, the Ubersaw swings 20% slower. However, every successful hit against an enemy player adds 25% to the player's ÜberCharge meter. ÜberCharge is gained on hit even if the victim is invulnerable or cloaked, but not if the victim is disguised. The Ubersaw does not build the ÜberCharge meter in Medieval Mode, as the Medic's secondary weapons cannot be used.

The vial on the Ubersaw's syringe serves as a visual representation of a Medic's ÜberCharge. It fills slowly as teammates are healed and enemies are attacked with the weapon. Should the player switch to the Ubersaw while ÜberCharge is deployed, the liquid can be seen slowly draining from the syringe.

Taunting or pressing alt-fire (default key: MOUSE2) with the Ubersaw equipped results in the Uberslice kill taunt. A successful kill with this taunt gives the Medic 100% ÜberCharge; however, killing a disguised Spy only awards 50%.

The Ubersaw is automatically given to any player who obtains 22 Medic achievements.
