The Medic moves quickly and has a decent amount of health, but is poor at self-defense, requiring the protection of his healing partner and team to survive.
Contents
General
- The Medic should always be top priority when you are considering whom to kill. A team without their Medic is at a severe disadvantage.
- The Scout's Force-A-Nature knockback and the Pyro's airblast can be used to disconnect enemy Medics from their partners, or vice versa.
- It's always best to disconnect and isolate the Medic to prevent him merely latching onto another team-mate, especially during an ÜberCharge.
- When fighting a Medic and his healing partner, try to kill the Medic instead. His partner will merely shrug off your damage.
- As a Sniper, it is easier to bodyshot the Medic then go for a headshot. A fully charged bodyshot will kill in one hit, granted the Medic is not overhealed.
- As a Spy, disguise as an offensive class, preferably Heavy, Demoman, or Soldier, then try to lead the Medic to his death.
Weapon Specific
A list of useful tidbits about the Medic's tools, and how to best counter them.
Syringe Gun
Blutsauger
Crusader's Crossbow
- The Crusader's Crossbow deals damage based on how far away the target is. Closing the distance will make it deal less damage.
- The bolts fired from this crossbow heal the Medic's allies. Consider taking a shot if it means denying someone a quick heal.
- The Crusader's Crossbow has a slow firing rate. Take advantage of this by countering between shots.
Bonesaw
Übersaw
- Meleeing a Medic with the Übersaw should be last resort due to each hit giving him 25% Übercharge.
- Because of its 20% slower firing speed, you can defeat the Medic wielding it easily with ranged weapons and melee weapons.
Vita-Saw
Amputator
- The Amputator requires the Medic to taunt to heal his allies. This makes him an easy target, especially for enemy Snipers and Spies.
The Medieval Medic
