The '''Medi Gun''' is the default [[Weapons#medicsecondary|secondary weapon]] for the [[Medic]]. It is a modified team-colored [[w:fire hose|fire hose]] nozzle wrapped in black tape and outfitted with a bottom handle, which is connected to the Medic's backpack by a hose. It fires a glowing team-colored beam into the recipient, who will then emit similarly colored cross symbols, similar to a [[Teleporter]] trail. When a disguised [[Spy]] is over-healed, enemies can also see the team-colored crosses.

Despite technically being a weapon, the Medi Gun's chief purpose is healing injured allies and temporarily boosting their health up to 150% (see [[overheal]]ing). The Medi Gun's healing rate is variable, from 24 HP per second, for patients who have been damaged in the past 10 seconds, to a maximum of 72 HP per second, for patients who have not been damaged in the past 15 seconds. Freshly-spawned teammates also heal at 72 HP per second. When the player being healed has not been damaged in the past 10 to 15 seconds, the rate at which the Medi Gun heals goes up linearly from 24 to 72 HP per second (for example, a player who has not taken damage in the past 12.5 seconds will heal at a rate of 48 HP per second).

As the Medi Gun heals, its [[ÜberCharge]] bar will gradually fill. The ÜberCharge meter will fill at a rate of 2.5% per second when healing injured players (which includes not fully overhealed players). The rate is halved when healing targets whose health is at 142.5% or higher, or if the player is being healed by an additional healing beam (such as from another Medic, a [[Dispenser]] or the [[Payload#Carts|Payload cart]]). These factors stack, further reducing the charge rate. On maps with a pre-round timer, the Medi Gun's ÜberCharge rate is not penalized for healing targets, instead it is increased to 3x the normal rate. The pre-round charge rate is still reduced if the target is being healed by multiple sources.

When healing a patient with a faster movement speed than the Medic, the Medic's speed will be increased to match the patient, allowing him to keep up with Scouts, or teammates that have some form of increased movement speed. However, the Medi Gun cannot mirror [[explosive jump|blast jumps]] or [[Charging|charges]] like the [[Quick-Fix]] can. Any kills for the patient are counted as assists for the Medic, and add to their [[killstreak]] if they are using a killstreak Medi Gun.

When the ÜberCharge meter is full, it is deployed by pressing the secondary fire button ([[List of Default keys|Default]]: {{Key|Mouse2}}). The Medic and his target will be encased in team-colored shells that render them invulnerable to damage (but not knockback) for eight seconds. Disguised Spies that trick an enemy Medic into ÜberCharging them will also be invulnerable. While ÜberCharge is active, the Medic and his patient will not be able to capture a point, push the cart, or carry the intelligence. However, they are still able to block the enemy team from capturing the point or pushing their cart. If the Medic is carrying the intelligence and attempts to use ÜberCharge, nothing will happen and the ÜberCharge meter will stay at 100%.

The Medi Gun's beam will stay locked onto its target as long as the wielding Medic keeps the primary fire button held down and stays within range. This allows the Medic to turn around and effectively keep an eye out for incoming enemies from behind, and even heal allies from around corners.

Revision as of 14:50, 23 December 2021

This article is about the Medic's stock secondary weapon. For other Medi Guns, see Medi Gun (disambiguation).
“
With my breakthrough, I could do in seconds what would take other doctors months! I could take men to the peak of health, and beyond! I could make GODS!
— The Medic
 ”

The Medi Gun is the default secondary weapon for the Medic. It is a modified team-colored fire hose nozzle wrapped in black tape and outfitted with a bottom handle, which is connected to the Medic's backpack by a hose. It fires a glowing team-colored beam into the recipient, who then emits similarly colored cross symbols, similar to a Teleporter trail. When a disguised Spy is overhealed, enemies can also see the team-colored crosses.

Despite technically being a weapon, the Medi Gun's chief purpose is healing injured allies and temporarily boosting their health up to 150% (see overhealing). The Medi Gun's healing rate is variable, from 24 HP per second, for patients who have been damaged in the past 10 seconds, to a maximum of 72 HP per second, for patients who have not been damaged in the past 15 seconds. Freshly-spawned teammates also heal at 72 HP per second. When the player being healed has not been damaged in the past 10 to 15 seconds, the rate at which the Medi Gun heals goes up linearly from 24 to 72 HP per second (for example, a player who has not taken damage in the past 12.5 seconds will heal at a rate of 48 HP per second).

As the Medi Gun heals, its ÜberCharge bar gradually fills. The ÜberCharge meter fills at a rate of 2.5% per second when healing injured players (which includes not fully overhealed players). The rate is halved when healing targets whose health is at 142.5% or higher, or if the player is being healed by an additional healing beam (such as from another Medic, a Dispenser or the Payload cart). These factors stack, further reducing the charge rate. On maps with a pre-round timer, the Medi Gun's ÜberCharge rate is not penalized for healing targets, instead it is increased to 3x the normal rate. The pre-round charge rate is still reduced if the target is being healed by multiple sources.

When healing a patient with a faster movement speed than the Medic, the Medic's speed is increased to match the patient, allowing him to keep up with Scouts, or teammates that have some form of increased movement speed. However, the Medi Gun cannot mirror blast jumps or charges like the Quick-Fix can. Any kills for the patient are counted as assists for the Medic, and add to their killstreak if they are using a killstreak Medi Gun.

When the ÜberCharge meter is full, it is deployed by pressing the secondary fire button (Default: Mouse2). The Medic and his target are encased in team-colored shells that render them invulnerable to damage (but not knockback) for eight seconds. Disguised Spies that trick an enemy Medic into ÜberCharging them are also invulnerable. While the ÜberCharge is active, the Medic and his patient are unable to capture a point, push the cart, or carry the intelligence. However, they are still able to block the enemy team from capturing the point or pushing their cart. If the Medic is carrying the intelligence and attempts to use ÜberCharge, nothing happens, and the ÜberCharge meter stays at 100%.

The Medi Gun's beam stays locked onto its target as long as the wielding Medic keeps the primary fire button held down and stays within range. This allows the Medic to turn around and effectively keep an eye out for incoming enemies from behind, and even heal allies from around corners.

In Advanced multiplayer options, there is an option to have the beam stay locked on without having to hold down the primary fire button, and another option for an arrow to appear over the healing target.

Bugs

  • Taking environmental damage can sometimes cause the player to lose the team-colored overlay when under the effects of the ÜberCharge.
  • Healing a player with any Medi Gun may sometimes result in the heal target getting 1 to 2 HP over the max overheal for that target.
  • The beam from the Medi Gun and its variants can sometimes visually glitch client-side, making the beam trail off into the distance or even disappear while healing a target.

Trivia

  • If the Medic heals an enemy Spy that kills a teammate, the Medic is awarded a Kill assist. The Medic is also credited for an assist if he heals a Spy that successfully saps a building.
    • This also makes it possible for a friendly Medic to dominate a teammate if the Medic gets credited with enough of the Spy's kills on a single teammate.
    • It also makes it possible for the Medic to assist in his own death.
