The Medic

The Amputator is a 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 emblem in the center.

The weapon is statistically identical to the Bonesaw; however, upon taunting with this weapon, a Medicating Melody is produced and all nearby teammates are healed. This process allows multiple healings to occur at once.

Should teammates within the taunt's area successfully kill an enemy, the Medic will be credited with an assist kill.

Trivia

  • The Amputator was originally going to be a dagger-like weapon named the Flammenspritze, as seen here.
  • The taunt does not heal enemy Spies. Additionally, the light animation seen on teammates will not play with a disguised enemy Spy.
  • The Amputator doesn't have any weaknesses compared with Bonesaw, so it is better in all ways.

Notes

  1. In mid taunt with the Amputator, the player could disconnect from the server, but the healing effect would remain for surrounding injured players, giving them infinitely regenerating health, even after death, until they disconnected or the map changed.
