“

All I can tell you about zis next procedure is zat it will be...excruciating! Click to listen — The Medic

”

A Teutonic man of medicine with a rather tenuous adherence to medical ethics, the Medic is nonetheless the primary healing class of the team. As the Medic does not possess the best arsenal for straight-up gunplay, he can typically be found near the front-lines, healing wounded teammates while trying to stay out of trouble. While his Medigun is focused on an ally, wounded teammates will quickly regain health, while unharmed teammates' health will be temporarily topped up. While healing, the Medic's ÜberCharge bar will fill up until the weapon begins to crackle, at which point he can activate a deadly charge that either makes himself and an ally temporarily invulnerable or gives his patient 100% Critical shots for up to 8 seconds.

The Medic is the only class 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).

The Medic is voiced by Robin Atkin Downes.

Bio

Name: N/A Location of origin: Template:W Job: Doctor Assisted Homicide Motto: "Prepare for your examination" Emblems:    Description: What he lacks in compassion for the sick, respect for human dignity, and any sort of verifiable formal training in medicine, the Medic more than makes up for with a bottomless supply of giant needles and a trembling enthusiasm for plunging them into exposed flesh. Raised in Stuttgart, Germany during an era when the Hippocratic oath had been downgraded to an optional Hippocratic suggestion, the Medic considers healing a generally unintended side effect of satisfying his own morbid curiosity.

Trivia

• Robin Atkin Downes, the Medic's voice actor, has voiced numerous other characters for video games including Template:W, Template:W and Template:W.
• According to one of the Demoman's domination lines, the Medic has a wife.
• The Medic has not received any new lines, either in-game or in the Meet the Team videos, since the game was released.
• Although he lived through the Second World War, and his bio hints at a dark past, Valve has stated that the Medic is not a former Nazi.
• The Medic is the only class with his own class-specific voice command (to alert teammates of a full ÜberCharge).
• The Medic was the first class of the 9 to receive his own class specific update. This update was prompted due to players feeling 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.
• Valve's tips on the loading screens stated that the Kritzkrieg's taunt heals 10 health. Community testing proved the Kritzkrieg heals 11 health.
• If a Medic is killed while having an ÜberCharge prepared but undeployed, his ragdoll will be surrounded by electricity.
• Ironically, the Medic (discounting his debatable mental stability) seems to be the only class without a serious health problem.
  • The Scout has been extremely exposed to radiation from Bonk! Atomic Punch.
  • The Soldier frequently damages his legs through rocket-jumping.
  • The Pyro's suit is lined with carcinogenic asbestos.
  • The Demoman is an alcoholic.
  • The Heavy is obese.
  • The Engineer cut off his hand in order to use the Gunslinger
  • The Sniper suffers from kidney disease, a side effect from learning the art of Jarate.
  • The Spy is a heavy chain smoker.
