 The Quick-Fix |
|
| “ | War historians will appreciate the original medigun— still handy even though the invuln function shorted out after its first use.
— Quick-Fix publicity blurb
|

The Quick-Fix is a secondary weapon for the Medic. It is a prototype Medi Gun with a group of three gauges on one side, a (cosmetic) ÜberCharge gauge on the other side, and what appears to be a blender for a body. The main gun is coupled with a medicinal reactor backpack with glowing portions that replaces Medic's default backpack.
This Medi Gun has a 40% faster heal and 25% faster ÜberCharge build rate compared to the default Medi Gun. It lacks the ability to overheal patients, but can maintain an overheal previously applied on a target by other means. Additionally, should the player train the weapon on a faster ally, they will be able to move at the same speed as their healing target. When the ÜberCharge is deployed, the patient and the Medic will be healed at triple the healing rate, and become immune to movement impairing effects such as knockback, stun, and slowdown, including compression blasts; however, the target will not become invulnerable to attack.
Whenever the patient uses an explosive jump (except Detonator and Sentry jumping), the Medic will be shot upward as well. The Medic will be launched with equal force in the same direction. However, this effect cannot be transferred from Medic to Medic, meaning that only the Quick-Fix wielding Medic(s) directly healing the explosive jumper will be launched, not those healing medics being launched.
The Quick-Fix was previously tested in Team Fortress 2 Beta. The Beta Quick-Fix, a separate variant of the weapon, is still available for use in the beta.

- Added/Refined recoil/draw/crit/reload forces for the Quick-Fix.

- [Undocumented] Added team-colored overlay for Quick-Fix users during the ÜberCharge.
- [Undocumented] Fixed a mistake for the Quick-Fix blueprint displaying refined instead of reclaimed as the required metal for crafting.

- Fixed the Quick-Fix not maintaining overhealed health.
June 27, 2012 Patch (Pyromania Update)
- Medic mirrors blast jump of their heal target.
- [Undocumented] The Quick-Fix now gains speed from all sources of speed increase, such as the Eyelander and Gas Jockey item set.
- Fixed a Medi Gun exploit that could leave players indefinitely invulnerable.
- This was fixed by making the Medic unable to heal people with his secondary weapon while taunting or using the Meet the Medic, Director's Vision, Schadenfreude, or High Five!.
Bugs
- Being set on fire will cause the player to lose the team-colored overlay when under the effects of the ÜberCharge.
- Dying during an ÜberCharge may cause the ÜberCharge sound effect to play until the player disconnects or map changes, much like a previously patched bug with the Kritzkrieg.
- Activating the ÜberCharge on a disguised Spy provides them with a healing aura of their team color instead of the disguised team's color.
- A Spy disguised as a Medic with the Quick-Fix equipped will have the regular Medic backpack.
- Despite stating otherwise, the ÜberCharge increases healing by 200% to 300% of normal, rather than raising it 300%.
Trivia
- The model for the Quick-Fix was previously shown in concept art images for Meet the Medic, photographed in Valve Headquarters.
- The Medic could be seen holding the Quick-Fix before the Über Update was revealed in the final page of Meet the Director.
- The Quick-Fix's ÜberCharge was known as the Megaheal in the beta.
- A "Quick Fix" in medical or industrial-repair terms refers to a hurried or temporary fix of a problem or injury. These remedies may not always work or may prove ineffective to stopping the problem entirely, referencing that the Quick-Fix's ÜberCharge can still result in the death of both the Medic and his patient if enough damage is taken.
