The Medic

The Vita-Saw is an unlockable melee weapon for the Medic class. It appears as a rusty gas pump handle with a long needle, a knife under the needle, and a container with some liquid on top.

The weapon takes 10 health away from its user, but retains up to 20% of the Medic's ÜberCharge if he dies. This is equivalent to 8 seconds of healing with the Medigun on hurt targets. Despite logic, only 20% of the Medic's UberCharge before death is added (meaning if a Medic dies with 40% UberCharge, they will respawn with 8% UberCharge).

Trivia

  • It very closely resembles the large needle syringe carried around by the Little Sisters from the game BioShock. Its name is also similar to the Vita-Chamber from the same game, a device which resurrect individuals who die in their vicinity.
  • A small "skull and bones" symbol has been scratched into the blade of the saw, with eight tally marks next to it.
  • This weapon houses the possible in-joke of Medic being a Little Sister and Heavy being the Big Daddy. The stats of the weapon help this claim by making the Medic a little more dependent on a teammate due to lower health.
  • The liquid within the vial on the back is jiggleboned, which means that it will swirl around in the vial as the Medic moves.
  • The Vita-Saw is randomly available through Mann Co. Supply Crates which are dropped in game by drop system.
  • The Vita-Saw's design seems to be an amalgam of the Medic's Übersaw, Syringe Gun (barrel), and the Medic's beta needle weapon.
