— The Medic

” |
The Quick-Fix is a secondary weapon for the Medic. It is a prototype Medi Gun sporting various armaments, including a measuring jug for a body. A white splat on the jug appears to be a Dove dropping. The main gun is coupled with a unique medicinal reactor backpack.
This weapon sports a 40% faster heal and 25% faster ÜberCharge build rate compared to the default Medi Gun, but lacks the ability to overheal patients past their maximum health. Additionally, should the player train the weapon on a faster ally, they will be able to match their speed for as long as the medicinal beam is connected. When the ÜberCharge is deployed, the patient and the Medic will be healed at triple the healing rate, and both will be immune to movement effects such as knockback, stun and slowdown.
The Quick-Fix was previously tested in the Team Fortress 2 Beta.

Healing and function times
Healing and function times | ||
---|---|---|
Healing | ||
Healing (in combat) | 100% | 33.6 / s (100.8 / s) |
Healing (out of combat) | 300% | 100.8 / s (302.4 / s) |
Function times | ||
Effect duration | 8 s | |
Charge fill speed | 3.125% / s (1.5625% / s) | |
Maximum charge time | 32 s (64 s) | |
Values are approximate and determined by community testing. |
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 33 health per second. From 10 to 15 seconds, this rate increases linearly from 33 up to a maximum of 100 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]
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]

Bugs
- Dying during an ÜberCharge may cause the ÜberCharge sound effect to play until the player disconnects, much like a previously patched bug with the Kritzkrieg.
- Healing Heavies under the effect of Dalokohs Bar will not restore their health after reaching the default 300 HP.
- When healing a Scout in the spawn room, should the Scout change class, the speed boost will still apply.
- Healing certain classes with additional speed benefits will not bestow them to the Medic, such as with a Pyro using the The Gas Jockey's Gear item set, or a Demoman with the Eyelander storing 3 or more heads.
- When partnered with the Overdose, upon ubering a Scout, the player will lose both speed bonus from the weapon and from the Scout.
- The backpack of the Quick-Fix will display the wrong teams colors after switching teams.
- The crafting recipe for the item claims it requires refined metal, but it only requires 1 reclaimed. When the player is prompted to add the ingredients, the menu will display the proper recipe.
Trivia
- The model for the Quick-Fix was previously shown in concept art images for Meet the Medic, photographed in Valve Headquarters.
- The Quick-Fix was the Medic's first Medi Gun, and was the prototype for the Medi Gun.[1]
- The Quick-Fix was able to make the Heavy invulnerable in Meet the Medic, even though it cannot in-game; this is due to the invulnerability function shorting out after its first use.[2]
- The Medic could be seen holding the Quick-Fix before the Über Update was revealed in the final page of the Meet the Director comic.
