— The Medic on ill-advised medical experimentation
|
” |
The Medic is a Teutonic man of medicine with a tenuous adherence to medical ethics, and is nonetheless the primary healing class of the team. Although the Medic does not possess the greatest arsenal for direct combat, he can typically still be found near the front-lines, healing wounded teammates while trying to stay out of trouble. When his Medi Gun is focused on a teammate, they will quickly regain health points. Unharmed teammates will have their health buffed beyond the normal limit, up to 150%. While healing, the Medic's ÜberCharge bar will fill up until the weapon begins to crackle, at which point he can activate a charge that makes himself and his patient take on highly beneficial effects for eight seconds, from temporarily invulnerability (with his normal Medi Gun) to guaranteed Critical hits (using the Kritzkrieg) to very rapid healing (with the Quick-Fix).
The Medic is capable of regenerating health over time; the longer a Medic stays out of combat, the faster his health will recover. A damaged Medic will regenerate health at a rate of 3 HP per second, which scales up over the following ten seconds to a maximum of 6 HP per second (though carrying the Blutsauger reduces the regeneration rate from 3–6 to 1–4, and the Medieval Medic item set will raise it to 4–7).
The Medic is voiced by Robin Atkin Downes.

Basic strategy
- Use your Medi Gun to heal teammates, and buff them up to 150% of their normal health.
- Fill your ÜberCharge by healing teammates. Then RIGHT CLICK to activate.
- Your ÜberCharge makes both you and your Medi Gun target invulnerable for a short time.
- You fill your ÜberCharge faster by healing teammates who are more hurt.

Trivia
- The Medic was the first class of the 9 to receive his own class specific update. This update was prompted due to players feeling that the Medic was underpowered and was therefore the least played class overall. After the Gold Rush/Medic Update was released, the amount of players playing Medic on a regular basis increased dramatically.
- The Medic's glasses and hair make an appearance in Worms: Reloaded as one of the selectable hats for the player's worms.
- The Support class of Monday Night Combat has a promo item of the Medic's backpack and the Engineer's hardhat named "Doctor Dispenser".
- Template:W served as the first BLU team Medic.
- In Meet the Medic, the Medic revealed that he lost his Medical license when one of his patients' skeletons went missing.
- The Medic has a refrigerator filled with:
- Three hearts, each bigger than the last
- Half of a Sandvich
- Three beer bottles, one empty on its side
- A BLU Spy's head, connected to a battery to keep him alive
- An ashtray, full of cigarette butts that have been smoked by the Spy
- The Medic appears to keep a flight of doves as pets, which are allowed to fly around in his office (despite hygiene concerns). One of them is named Archimedes. Archimedes seems to share his owner's fascination with blood, like leaning in while watching surgery, and nesting in open wounds (as Heavy and Scout soon found out). Archimedes is accidentally sealed inside the Scout at the end of Meet the Medic.
