Upon taunting with the Kritzkrieg equipped, the Medic puts his face up to the barrel of his weapon and inhales deeply before returning to work. This process will heal the player for 11 health.
Performing the taunt does not contribute to the ÜberCharge meter but will count towards the total healing on the scoreboard. It is possible to heal an ally while performing this taunt if the player has selected the 'Medi Gun heal after release' in Multiplayer options. The taunt proves invaluable when the player is taking passive damage such as fire or bleeding when natural health regeneration is too slow.
The Home Run can be used to kill enemy players during Humiliation and Stalemates.
Function Times
- Taunt Interval: 4
All times are in seconds. Times are approximate and determined by community testing.
Update History
- The taunt and its accompanying voice clip "Ha ha ha, Oktoberfest!" are disabled.
- The taunt is reinstated but the sound is not included. It was speculated that the sound was removed due to being percieved as a drug reference. From a logical perspective, it would be difficult to breathe in and shout at the same time.
