Ha ha ha! Oktoberfest!
The Medic's favorite fair

Upon taunting with the Kritzkrieg equipped, the Medic takes a brief whiff out of the barrel of his weapon before returning to aid his teammates.

Performing the taunt will heal the Medic for 11 health, discounting passive regeneration. This does not contribute to the ÜberCharge meter but will count towards the total healing displayed on the scoreboard. It is possible to heal an ally while performing this taunt if the player has selected the 'Medi Gun heal after release' in Multiplayer options. The taunt proves invaluable when the player is taking passive damage such as fire or bleeding, or when natural health regeneration is too slow.

The Oktoberfest taunt can be used during humiliation and stalemates, but will not protect a player from taunt kills other than minor preemptive damage, as shown by the Organ Grinder taunt. The same is for Medicating Melody.

Trivia

  • This taunt was originally intended for the Medi Gun, but was later used for the Kritzkrieg instead.[1]
  • The patch notes and in-game tips incorrectly state that the taunt heals 10 health, where community testing has determined that the Kritzkrieg actually heals 11 health (This is because of the fact that the Medic has the ability to regenerate health over time).[citation needed]
