“

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. — The Medic

”

The Medi Gun is the default secondary weapon for the Medic. It is a modified Template:W nozzle wrapped in tape and outfitted with a bottom handle and is connected to the Medic's backpack by a hose. It fires a glowing team-colored beam into the recipient, who will then appear to exude similar colored cross symbols. When a cloaked 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 boosting the total health of the target up to 150%, also called overhealing or buffing. As the Medic keeps his beam focused on a target, his ÜberCharge bar will gradually fill. The ÜberCharge meter will fill at a rate of 2.5%/second when healing injured targets. The rate is halved with targets whose health is at 142.5% or higher, or if the target is being healed by an additional healing beam (such as from another Medic, a Dispenser or the Payload cart.) These factors can stack, further reducing the charge rate. When the ÜberCharge is used, the Medic and his target glow and become invulnerable to damage (but not knockback) for 8 seconds. Disguised Spies can also benefit from these effects when tricking an enemy Medic into healing them.

The Medi Gun 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. When a player has been overhealed, a team-colored "aura" follows them, similar to a Teleporter trail.

In Advanced multiplayer options, there is an option to have the beam stay locked on without having to hold down the primary fire button.

Strange variant

Strange variant information

Strange Medi Gun Strange Medi Gun - Ubers: 0 (Kill Assists: 0) Only the first statistic counts towards the strange rank. Available as a Strange Festive variant. Notes: This weapon will not increase its ÜberCharge count unless the ÜberCharge has been used entirely, meaning that if the player dies before the charge meter reaches 0%, the charge will not increment the count.
