The Medic

The Amputator is a melee weapon for the Medic and was released as part of the Medieval Medic set. It appears as a saw with angular edges and a distinct handle. When players taunt with the Amputator, a Medicating Melody is produced, and all nearby teammates are healed. This will also allow one to gain assists with multiple players, should the players within the area of effect achieve kills during the taunt's duration.

Bugs

  • There is currently a bug that allows players to use the Amputator taunt to permanently heal other players until the map changes.

Trivia

  • Template:W, the surgical removal of one or more body parts, was a common medical practice since the early 17th century, especially on the battlefield where injuries and diseases such as gangrene were rampant. Its use sharply declined in the 1950s when medicine was able to save a patient more than amputation from diseases, and is now only performed in extreme cases.
  • The Amputator is capable of healing a Soldier with the Equalizer equipped, despite the Equalizer's healing block
