The Syringe is a scrapped weapon for the Medic. It is a large syringe with a long needle. The Medic is seen wielding it in the first trailer for Team Fortress 2.
Functionally, it may have acted similarly to the Medkit from Team Fortress Classic. The weapon was removed before release in favour of a healing weapon which would be easier to recognize for its purpose, and would fit in with the goal of providing easily identifiable class silhouettes. As a result, it was replaced by the Medi Gun with its conspicuous healing beam.
Additionally, it was wished the Medic would need to stay in the thick of battle instead of hanging back away from the action. The Medi Gun solved this by being easy to use as to allow Medic players to focus on survival while healing teammates.
Damage
Unknown. Would heal allies.
Trivia
- A number of Syringes can be found inside a tray in an Engineer's level 2 and level 3 Dispenser.
- The model itself totals 2500 polygons, an unoptimized amount due to being scrapped before release.
- Another slightly differed model is used as the Syringe Gun's projectiles.
