{{Quotation|'''The Medic'''|Hmm hmm hmm...let's go practice medicine.|sound=LetsGoPracticeMedicine.wav}}
 
−
The '''Quick-Fix''' is a [[Weapons#medicsecondary|secondary weapon]] from the [[Team Fortress 2 Beta|''Team Fortress 2'' Beta]] for the [[Medic]]. It is a prototype [[Medi Gun]] with a set of three gauges and a measuring jug for a body.  The main gun is coupled with a medicinal reactor backpack with glowing portions.
 
  
−
This Medi Gun has a 40% faster heal and 25% faster [[ÜberCharge]] build rate compared to the default Medi Gun, but lacks the ability to overheal patients.  Additionally, should the player train the weapon on a faster ally, they will be able to move at the same speed as their healing target. When the ÜberCharge is deployed, the patient and the Medic will be healed at triple the healing rate, and become immune to movement effects such as [[knockback]], [[stun]], and [[slowdown]], but will not be granted invincibility.  Additionally, if the Medic deploys the ÜberCharge but does not target an ally, he is healed at the normal rate.
+
{{Quotation|'''Quick-Fix''' publicity blurb|War historians will appreciate the original medigun— still handy even though the invuln function shorted out after its first use.}}
  
−
Healing a class with an item set speed bonus, such as the 10% bonus granted to the Pyro from the [[Item sets#Gas Jockey.27s Gear|Gas Jockey's Gear]] does not apply the speed bonus to the Medic. So the Scout is the only class that will provide a speed bonus to a Medic using the Quick-Fix.
+
The '''Quick-Fix''' is a [[Weapons#medicsecondary|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 [[Self-illumination|glowing portions]] that [[bodygroup|replaces]] Medic's default backpack.
  
−
==Healing and function times==
+
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.

}}
  
−
The healing rate is based on how long ago the target was last damaged.  If the target was damaged less than 10 seconds ago, then they are healed at the normal rate of 33 health per second.  From 10 to 15 seconds, this rate increases from 33 up to a maximum of 100 health per second. This mechanic is in place to encourage falling back to heal, as without the boosted healing rate, players often found that fighting, dying, and respawning was quicker than falling back, being healed to full, then re-engaging. <ref>[http://www.teamfortress.com/post.php?id=1656]<ref/>

−
With the Quick Fix's ÜberCharge, a group of players can be kept healed due to the increased heal rate, allowing for more concentrated firepower than a single invulnerability charge can, at the cost of still being vulnerable to kills based on a high enough damage.

“
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.
