 The Kritzkrieg |
|
| “ | This new medigun uses its Übercharge not for invulnerability, but to give its recipient 100% chance to fire critical ordinance.
— Kritzkrieg publicity blurb
|
” |
The Kritzkrieg (/'krɪtzkriːg/ kritz-kreeg) is an unlockable secondary weapon for the Medic. Similar in appearance to both the Medi Gun and Quick-Fix, it sports an additional fixture to the barrel with two glowing yellow lines on each side. The Kritzkrieg's beam has small yellow particles flowing into the recipient.
Functioning similarly to the Medi Gun, this weapon is capable of healing teammates and disguised Spies up to the 150% base health overheal limit. The gun features an ÜberCharge, however, that bestows a 100% critical hit chance rather than invulnerability. Additionally, the Kritzkrieg's ÜberCharge bar fills 25% faster than that of the Medi Gun.
Taunting with the Kritzkrieg equipped causes a Medic to perform the Oktoberfest special taunt.
The Kritzkrieg is automatically given to any player who obtains 16 Medic achievements.

Bugs
- On the loadout screen, the Medic's model may sometimes still appear to be holding the Medi Gun even when the Kritzkrieg is equipped.

- When You Die in the same second you ubercharge the effects that the Kritzkrieg has when your ubercharge meter is full and when you change classes the effect is still applied
Trivia
- The name "Kritzkrieg" is a pun on the term "crits", short for critical hits, and "Template:W", German for "lightning war" – a technique used by the German army in World War II.
- Before the Kritzkrieg was released, Valve stated in interviews that they were going to add the Overhealer, which could permanently overheal teammates to 200% of their standard health, but it would have a significantly worsened ÜberCharge or be unable to ÜberCharge at all. This idea was later canceled after play testing; however, the model for the Kritzkrieg attachment still bears the filename
Overhealer.
