The Blighted Beak is a headwear item for the Medic that was released with the Australian Christmas update.

Trivia

  • The "Blighted Beak" is styled after primitive respirators historically worn by plague physicians.
  • Before it was officialy added in the game it was released as a skin replacing the Physician's Procedure Mask by Pie_Tony on the TF2 Mod Emporium at Facepunch forums.
  • Even though the mask was worn by plague physicians to prevent infections, the Medic's mask is practically useless as it doesn't cover his entire face.
  • Even if the Mask covered his whole face the mask would be useless anyways, because the mask didn't truly protect from the infection, as the tip of the beak was only stuffed with flowers to ward away bad smells (what the medival people thought was the main cause of the plague) and it was not sealed off, with an air filter.
