Thanks, Doc.
The Soldier on helpful Medics

The Beta Pocket Shotgun is a secondary weapon for the Soldier that currently only exists in Team Fortress 2 Beta. It uses the Shotgun model.

This weapon deals the same damage as the default Shotgun, however if a Soldier using this weapon is being healed by a Medic, the weapon will deal 20% more damage. If the Soldier isn't being healed by a Medic, the weapon switch time will be 30% longer.

Since the item is still in an unreleased stage, these attributes may be changed or the weapon may be scrapped entirely.
