”

The Medi Gun is a secondary weapon for the Medic class. It appears as a modified fire hose wrapped in tape and outfitted with a bottom handle. It is connected via a pipe to the Medic's backpack. The beam it fires displays small cross symbols floating into the recipient.

Despite being a weapon, the Medi Gun's chief purpose is healing injured allies and boosting the total health of the target to 150% (also called overhealing or buffing). As the Medic keeps his beam focused on a team-mate, his ÜberCharge bar will gradually fill. The ÜberCharge meter will fill faster (2.5%/second) when healing injured team-mates or team-mates whose health is not at 150% (at 150%, 1.25%/second). When the ÜberCharge is used, the Medic and his target glow their team's color, and become invulnerable 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 attack 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. In Multiplayer > Advanced, there is an option to have the beam stay locked on without having to hold down the fire button. When a player has been overhealed, a team-colored "aura" follows them, similar to a Teleporter trail.

Healing rate

The healing rate is linearly based upon how long ago the target was last damaged. If the target was damaged less than 10 seconds ago, then they are healed at the normal rate of 24 health per second. From 10 to 15 seconds, this rate increases linearly from 24 up to a maximum of 72 health per second. This mechanic is in place to encourage falling back to heal, as without the boosted healing rate, players often found that fighting, dying, and respawning was quicker than falling back, being healed to full, then re-engaging.[1]

Function times

• ÜberCharge Fill: 40 seconds
• ÜberCharge Duration: 8 seconds

ÜberCharge Fill time is doubled if target is at 142.5% health or above. If more than one Medic is healing the target, each Medic's build time is divided by a factor of the number of Medics healing that target. [2]
