The Medic is a class in the classic Team Fortress games. While intended as a healer, he is very fast, can concussion jump and has powerful weapons, making him an ideal offense class. He is very useful for giving a team's offense a boost to its damage capabilities.

Basic Strategy

  • Use your medpack to heal wounded teammates.
  • Pay attention to team members who call for help.
  • Use your medpack to infect enemies. The contagion spreads to other members of the opposing team, causing panic and massive damage.
  • Try to buff the vital members of your team. You can increase their health by 50 hit points over their maximum.
  • Pay attention to teammates who have been infected by opposing medics. You are the only person capable of healing an infection.
  • The player shouldn't forget to use the Bioweapon to heal allies while departing their base.

Differences from Quake Team Fortress to Team Fortress Classic

In QWTF, the Super Shotgun's damage falloff makes it weak past very short range. In TFC, the Super Shotgun has no falloff damage, making it much more powerful and letting the Medic keep his Super Nailgun ammo for Sentry Guns. In fact, the Super Shotgun be though of as the TFC Medic's primary weapon because of its good damage output and range.

Trivia

The Physician's Procedure Mask resembles the mask worn by the Medic in the original Team Fortress Classic model.
