Schnell! Go get zem!
The Medic

The Amputator is a melee weapon for the Medic and was released as part of the Medieval Medic set. It appears similar to the Bonesaw, but features angular edges and a distinct handle. When players taunt with the Amputator, all nearby teammates are healed, and this effect is displayed by a team-colored version of the Buff Banner/Battalion's Backup effect. The healing does not count toward the ÜberCharge percentage, does not overheal, and does not work on disguised or cloaked Spies. The healing effect requires line of sight and cannot heal teammates on the opposite side of a wall for example, even if they are within range of the Medic. Also, any teammate that kills an opposing player while under the effects of the healing taunt will give the Medic an assist.

Function times

  • Attack Interval: 0.8

All times are in seconds. Times are approximate and determined by community testing.

Healing

The healing rate is linearly based upon how long ago the target was last damaged, in a similar way to that of the Medi Gun and Kritzkrieg. If the target was damaged less than 10 seconds ago, then they are healed at a rate of 25 hp/sec. From 10 to 15 seconds, this rate increases linearly from 25 up to a maximum of 75 health per second.

The healing effect lasts for 4.2 seconds.

Healing is approximate and determined by community testing.
