— 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.

-Upon [[taunt]]ing with the [[Kritzkrieg]] equipped, the Medic puts his face up to the barrel of his weapon and inhales deeply, healing himself for 11 health. The Medic is vulnerable while performing the taunt. The taunt can still be used to heal the Medic during [[Humiliation]]. You can still heal an ally while performing it if you have selected the 'Medigun heal after release' option in the advanced multiplayer options menu. Performing the taunt does not fill your [[ÜberCharge]] meter.

-*This taunt was based off an unused one for the [[Medigun]]. It was speculated to have been removed to avoid drug references, but was eventually re-added for the Kritzkrieg.
+<references/>
-*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.
-*This is the only "taunt attack" in the game that doesn't cause any damage, but heals instead.
-*Prior to the comeback, there was a sound file, [[Media:Medic taunts16.wav|"Ha ha ha, Oktoberfest!"]] that accompanied the taunt. But both were disabled when it was speculated that the taunt was a drug reference. Even though the taunt was restored, the sound was not included, though it is still in the game files. From a logical perspective, it would be difficult to breathe in and shout at the same time.
-*You can obtain [[Medic_achievements|Medic's achievements]] "Intern", "Specialist" and "Chief of Staff" via this taunt. Just hit yourself (by falling down, being underwater or using users' maps with damage area) and use taunt. Healed HP will be included in your statistics. For example, to earn "Specialist", you need about 1 hour of hitting and healing yourself without dying.
-*Every 11st or 10th taunt adds in statistics and heals double quantity of HP.
