 The Ubersaw |
|
| “ | Four hits with this new weapon will fully charge whatever medigun the Medic has equipped.
— Übersaw publicity blurb
|
” |
The Übersaw is an unlockable melee weapon for the Medic. It is a cleaver-like blade fixed into a Bonesaw grip. Its most prominent feature is a large syringe filled with team-colored liquid and the needle protruding out of the front of the weapon.
Every successful hit against an enemy player with this weapon adds 25% to the player's ÜberCharge meter, at the cost of a 20% slower swing rate. This effect still applies to a Scout under the effects of Bonk! Atomic Punch; however, the Scout will not receive any damage. Successful hits against disguised or invisible Spies will not fill the ÜberCharge meter. Its critical hit animation is an upwards sawing motion, similar to the animation used by the Bonesaw.
The vial on the Übersaw's syringe serves as a visual representation of a Medic's ÜberCharge. It fills slowly as teammates are healed and enemies are attacked with the weapon. Should the ÜberCharge be deployed and the player switch to the Übersaw, the liquid can be seen slowly draining from the syringe.
Taunting with the Übersaw equipped will perform the Spinal Tap kill taunt. A successful kill with this taunt will give a Medic 100% ÜberCharge.
The Übersaw is automatically given to any player who obtains 22 Medic achievements.

Bugs
- On rare occasions the Übersaw will kill someone, but not charge up the Über meter.
- If the Medic uses the Spinal Tap taunt on a Spy with the Dead Ringer out, he will gain 50 uber, whether the Spy is cloaked, disguised, or standing there with the Dead Ringer.
- If the Medic uses the Übersaw on an enemy Spy disguised as a member of the Spy's team (So if the Spy were on the BLU team and disguised as a BLU team member) the Medic doesn't get any ubercharge from attacking him
Trivia
- Variations of the Übersaw were tested in the Team Fortress 2 Closed Beta, featuring additional downsides such as -25% damage done or on hit -20 health.
- In the censored version of Team Fortress 2, the Übersaw is not stained with blood.
