“

This terrifying saw will surely give your enemies nightmares for years, if they survive that is!

— Amputator publicity blurb

”

The Amputator is a community-created melee weapon for the Medic. It is a saw with angular edges and a distinct team-colored handle with an arrowhead-like extension near the top and the Medic's class icon in the center.

While this weapon is active, the Medic regenerates up to an extra three health per second, at the cost of the weapon dealing 20% less damage than the Bonesaw. Additionally, when taunting (default key: G) or pressing alt-fire (default key: Mouse2) with this weapon, a Medicating Melody is produced and heals all nearby teammates and gives a small amount of ÜberCharge based on the amount of healing done. Disguised Spies, cloaked or not, are also affected from this healing. The Amputator will not overheal teammates.

The Medic will be credited with an assist kill if a teammate within the taunt's area of effect kills an enemy.

The kill icon for the Amputator was contributed by MasterOfOrigami.

Occasionally, the Amputator stops responding to alt-fire (and sometimes even to primary fire and the taunt key), preventing the taunt.
- This can be fixed by temporarily switching classes.

Trivia

Early in its development, the Amputator was originally going to be a dagger-like weapon named the Flammenspritze, German for "Fire Syringe".
This weapon's name is derived from 'amputation' - the act of surgically removing a projecting body part.
