The Medic

Upon taunting with the Amputator equipped, the Medic bring his weapon up to his shoulder and plays a soothing melody, healing all allies within a certain radius while causing them to emit a team-colored glow around their feet.

The taunt does not add to a Medic's ÜberCharge level, does not heal disguised or cloaked Spies, and does not overheal. In addition, Soldiers equipping Equalizers will not be healed, while Pyros wielding Back Scratchers will receive diminished healing. The healing effect requires a line of effect to all targets, and therefore cannot heal teammates who are on the opposite side of an obstacle. Teammates who kill opposing players will give the taunting Medic an assist in the kill.

Taunting with the Bonesaw or Vita-Saw will yield the same action from the Medic, but without the healing benefit. In addition, the Vita-Saw will play a deeper cello tone instead of the light melody the Bonesaw and Amputator play.

  1. In mid taunt with the Amputator, the player could disconnect from the server, but the healing effect would remain for surrounding injured players, giving them infinitely regenerating health, even after death, until they disconnected or the map changed.
