“

Four hits with this new weapon will fully charge whatever medigun the Medic has equipped.

— Ubersaw publicity blurb

”

The Ubersaw is an unlockable melee weapon for the Medic. It is a cleaver-like blade fixed into a bonesaw grip, with a large syringe filled with team-colored, glowing liquid.

Compared to the Bonesaw, the Ubersaw swings 20% slower. However, every successful hit against an enemy player adds 25% to the player's ÜberCharge meter. ÜberCharge is gained on hit even if the victim is invulnerable or Cloaked, but not if the victim is disguised. The Ubersaw does not build the ÜberCharge meter in Medieval Mode, due to the Medic's secondary weapons not functioning there.

The vial on the Ubersaw's syringe serves as a visual representation of a Medic's ÜberCharge. It fills slowly as teammates are healed and enemies are attacked with the weapon. Should the player switch to the Ubersaw while ÜberCharge is deployed, the liquid can be seen slowly draining from the syringe.

Taunting or pressing alt-fire (default key: MOUSE2) with the Ubersaw equipped will perform the Spinal Tap kill taunt. A successful kill with this taunt will give the Medic 100% ÜberCharge; however, killing a disguised Spy will only award 50%.

The Ubersaw is automatically given to any player who obtains 22 Medic achievements.

Trivia

Variations of the Ubersaw were tested in the Team Fortress 2 Closed Beta, featuring additional downsides such as -25% damage done or -20 health on hit.
In the censored version of Team Fortress 2, the Ubersaw is not stained with blood, but remains otherwise unchanged.
The Ubersaw makes an appearance in the Team Fortress 2 comic The Naked and the Dead, which the Medic uses to defend himself against the TFC Heavy.
