Talk:Medi Gun

Should this be mentioned?

While I was rummaging through the weapon files, when I looked at the Medigun file, it says that it deals 24 damage. But as you know already, it only HEALS. Should this be mentioned in the Trivia? AbeX300 18:26, 12 August 2010 (UTC)

There's a lot of random, un-noteworthy outdated/unused/development stuff in the weapon files. I wouldn't add it. -- Nineaxis 18:30, 12 August 2010 (UTC)

From 10 to 15 seconds, this rate increases linearly from 24 up to a maximum of 72 health per second. Maybe you read it wrong? --Picard lm(de) 18:35, 12 August 2010 (UTC)

@Nineaxis If that's the case, why is there a mention on Jarate about it's 5-Damage? @Picard I suppose. I'll check it out by changing the "damage". AbeX300 18:38, 12 August 2010 (UTC)

Alright, I tested out on changing the damage. Apparently, it is the heal rate. Thanks Picard for telling me. AbeX300 18:42, 12 August 2010 (UTC)

About the Jarate, why don't you try throwing it directly on an enemy, then check its health? -- Vi3trice _(talk) 18:44, 12 August 2010 (UTC)

Errr, yeah. Normally, I would test it myself, but I crafted my only Jarate. -- Vi3trice _(talk) 19:05, 12 August 2010 (UTC)

It doesn't do damage --Firestorm 19:21, 12 August 2010 (UTC)

If it did, it would add a new sense to "it hurts when I pee". -- Vi3trice _(talk) 19:24, 12 August 2010 (UTC)

Requested move

Medigun vs Medi Gun

This one is probably more controversial than other move requests. In-game, in the backpack/inventory this weapon is referred to as the Medi Gun. However in the tips section it is referred to as a "medigun". This is an example of Valve being rather inconsistent. Should this page be moved to Medi Gun?

 Support I think we should go with what's official in-game, not what we think intuitively should be correct. -- Pilk _(talk) 15:58, 17 August 2010 (UTC)

 Support: Probably short for "Medical gun" --Firestorm 16:01, 17 August 2010 (UTC)

 Support: We should match what is displayed in-game. -- Nineaxis 16:43, 17 August 2010 (UTC)

 Support JL's Backpack also says Medi Gun, so I think we should move it. --Picard lm(de) 18:44, 17 August 2010 (UTC)

 Neutral: While I think you guys are right, a change like this would be annoying because the community pretty much always calls it the "Medigun." -The Neotank ( | Talk) 01:20, 18 August 2010 (UTC)

 Neutral: Am fine with either, just used to type Medigun. Oh well, bot can clean stuff up :3 </shameless plug> — Wind 01:27, 18 August 2010 (UTC)

 Support: I don't see where Valve refers to it as the "Medigun" other than the names of its model and textures.--Nelson340 21:36, 19 August 2010 (UTC)

 Support: If the backpack uses two words, so should we.--Piemanmoo 19:20, 25 August 2010 (UTC)
