”

The Solemn Vow is a melee weapon for the Medic. It is a marble bust of Template:W, inset with a plaque reading "Do no harm," the guiding principle of the Template:W.

Wielding this weapon allows the player to view enemy health and names, providing strategic information that could aid the team.

The item was previously tested in the Team Fortress 2 Beta as the Beta Bonesaw.

Update history

June 23, 2011 Patch (Über Update)

• The Solemn Vow was added to the game.

June 28, 2011 Patch

• Added/Refined recoil/draw/crit/reload forces for all of the new weapons in the Uber Update

Bugs

• The Solemn Vow does not have critical hit animations.
• The Solemn Vow shares the hitsound of the Übersaw.
• The Solemn Vow's taunt slightly clips with the Medics hand upon completion.

Trivia

• The Solemn Vow showcased on the Über Update page did not feature the grippable section underneath the bust, which confused many players who wondered how it could be used as a weapon.
• The crafting recipe likely references how Hippocrates was the first known proponent of Template:W.
• Unlike most unlockable weapons, it has no disadvantages. It shares this trait with The Amputator, another melee weapon for the Medic.
