A Teutonic man of medicine with a rather tenuous adherence to medical ethics, the Medic is nonetheless the primary healing class of the team. As the Medic doesn't possess the best arsenal for straight-up gunplay, he can typically be found near the front-lines, healing wounded teammates while trying to stay out of trouble. While his Medigun is focused on an ally, wounded teammates will quickly regain health, while unharmed teammates' health will be temporarily topped up. While healing, the Medic's ÜberCharge bar will fill up until the weapon begins to crackle, at which point he can activate a deadly charge that either makes himself and an ally temporarily invulnerable or gives his patient 100% critical shots for up to 8 seconds.

The Medic is the only class capable of regenerating health over time; the longer a Medic stays out of combat, the faster his health will recover. A damaged Medic will regenerate health at a rate of 3 HP per second, which scales up over the following ten seconds to a maximum of 6 HP per second, (though carrying the Blutsauger reduces the regeneration rate from 3-6 to 1-4.)

  • Use your Medigun to heal teammates, and buff them up to 150% of their normal health.
  • Fill your ÜberCharge by healing teammates. Then hit MOUSE2 to go invulnerable.
  • Your ÜberCharge makes both you and your Medigun target invulnerable for a short time.
  • You fill your ÜberCharge faster by healing teammates who are more hurt.
  • Keep alert for teammates calling for your help. Use the Medic arrows onscreen to find them.

Trivia

Medic mm.jpg
  • The Medic, along with the Pyro, did not receive a job description and motto in Trailer 2, though the trailer for the canceled Black Box does feature footage of him firing his Syringe Gun in the beta 2fort (0:36-0:43)[1].
  • The Medic is the only class not to receive a taunt attack in his own update, however one of his taunts was later altered to heal him. He then received an actual taunt kill in a later update, making Medic one of two classes with two taunts that have an effect (The other is Engineer).
  • If a Medic is killed while having an ÜberCharge prepared but undeployed, his ragdoll will be surrounded by electricity.
  • The Medic is voiced by Robin Atkin Downes, who also voiced Travis Touchdown in the Wii action game No More Heroes and the Prophet of Regret in the Halo, among many other roles.
  • According to one of the Demoman's domination lines, the Medic has a wife. Whether the Demoman is a reliable source of information is a different question entirely.
  • The Medic is the only class who wears glasses for eyesight reasons.
  • The Medic, along with the Pyro, are the only classes who have not received any new lines, either in-game or in the Meet the Team videos, since the game was released. The Medic and the Pyro are the only characters who did not receive new voice responses during their class update.
  • Although he lived through the Second World War, and his bio hints at a dark past, Valve has stated that the Medic is not a former Nazi.
  • The Medic, the Soldier, the Spy and the Pyro are so far the only classes to obtain a misc item.
  • The Medic was the first class to receive an update. Originally, players had to unlock every single Medic achievement to receive the Übersaw; the backlash from this, coupled with the difficulty of some of the Medic achievements, was one of the reasons why the item drop system was introduced and the achievement requirement lowered.
  • There are two unused voice commands for calling the Medic. 1 2 These were most likely temporary sounds during testing, or from the canceled version of TF2, where it was much more realistic and military themed.
  • Out of all the classes, the Medic speaks the most in a language other than English. About half his dialogue is German, although the way he uses his native language often seems out of place, and he sometimes structures sentences oddly (as in instead of saying "Stop losing," he says "Losing is verboten" ('forbidden' in German). His accent also sometimes sounds odd, and he will occasionally pronounce words incorrectly.
  • Suitably, the Medic seems to be the only class without a liable health problem. The Heavy is overweight, the Scout has possible radiation poisoning and extremely high sugar intake (from Bonk), the Soldier's rocket jumping (i.e. leg fracturing), smoking and extremely poor mental health, the Pyro's asbestos-lined suit (and similar poor mental health), the Demoman's alcoholism and smoking, the Sniper's impeding kidney failure, the Spy is a casual smoker and the Engineer crippled himself to use the Gunslinger. Despite his peers, the Medic so far seems to be completely sober, aside maybe from his mental health and sadism, traits that all the classes seem to exhibit to some degree.
    • However, it could be argued that the Medic gets high from The Kritzkrieg, but due to a recent update which meant he would heal himself upon taunting, it may just be to heal himself.
  • The Medic's version of the Mildly Disturbing Halloween Mask has a huge ghoulish face with stitches on its forehead, a reference to Frankenstein's monster and the Medic's slight mad scientist nature.
  • On the group picture that the camera in every Meet the Team trailer zooms out of at the end accompanied by the ending flourish, the Medic is the only Support class wielding a melee weapon.
  • The Medic has the most class-specific achievements, with 37.
  • The Medic is the only class with his own class-specific voice command.
  • The Medic is the only class without community-made weapons besides the Spy (who will be receiving two community weapons in the future).
  • As of the Engineer Update, some classes, when calling for a Medic, will ask him to follow them if they are looking directly at him.
  • The Medic, along with the Heavy and Pyro, are the only classes not to have class-specific domination lines.
  • The Medic was the first class of the 9 to receive his own class specific update. This updated was prompted due to players feeling the Medic was underpowered and was therefore the least played class overall. After the Goldrush/Medic Update was released, the amount of players playing Medic on a regular basis increased dramatically.
