I healed zuh man who will kill you.
The Medic

The Vita-Saw is an unlockable melee weapon for the Medic class. It appears as a rusty gas pump handle with a long needle, a knife under the needle, and a container with some liquid on top.

The weapon takes 10 health away from its user, but retains up to 20% of the Medic's ÜberCharge if he dies. This is equivalent to 8 seconds of healing with the Medigun on hurt targets.

Trivia

  • It very closely resembles the large needle syringe carried around by the Little Sisters from the game BioShock.
  • A small "skull and bones" symbol has been scratched into the blade of the saw, with eight tally marks next to it.
  • This weapon houses the possible in-joke of Medic being a Little Sister and Heavy being the Big Daddy. The stats of the weapon help this claim by making the Medic a little more dependant on a teammate due to lower health.
  • The liquid within the vial on the back is jiggleboned, which means that it will swirl around in the vial as the Medic moves.
  • The Vita-Saw is randomly available through Mann Co. Supply Crates which are dropped in game by drop system.
