 The Amputator |
|
| “ | This terrifying saw will surely give your enemies nightmares for years, if they survive that is!
— Amputator publicity blurb
|
” |
The Amputator is a community-made 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 an extra three health per second, at the cost of the weapon dealing 20% less damage than the Bonesaw. Additionally, when taunting with this weapon, a Medicating Melody is produced and heals all nearby teammates, save for Soldiers with the Equalizer or the Escape Plan as their active weapon and Cloaked or disguised Spies. 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.
