The Medic, also known as the Combat Medic, is a playable class in Team Fortress Classic. While primarily a healer, his speed and offensive abilities make him a proficient killer. To aid in survivability, the Medic will passively recover health over time.

Basic Strategy

• Use your Medkit to heal wounded teammates.

• Pay attention to team members who call for help.

• Use your Medkit to infect enemies. The contagion spreads to other members of the opposing team if they come into contact with each other, causing panic and massive damage.

• Try to buff the vital members of your team. You can increase their health by 50 hit points over their maximum.

• Pay attention to teammates who have been infected by opposing medics; you are the only person capable of healing the infection.

• Use Concussion Jumping to quickly cross large areas and evade enemies.

• The Super Nailgun is an great weapon for taking out Sentry Guns.

• The player shouldn't forget to use the Medkit to heal allies while departing from their base.

In QWTF, the Double-Barrel Shotgun's damage falloff makes it weak past very short range. In TFC, the Double-Barrel Shotgun has no falloff damage, making it much more powerful and letting the Medic keep his Super Nailgun ammo for Sentry Guns. In fact, the Double-Barrel Shotgun be considered the TFC Medic's primary weapon because of its respectable damage output and range.

Trivia

• The Physician's Procedure Mask resembles the mask worn by the Medic in the original Team Fortress Classic model.
