The Apothacary's(sic) Arrow[1] is a scrapped primary weapon for the Medic.[2] On primary fire (default key: MOUSE1), syringes from the Milk Crossbow would apply Mad Milk on enemy players. The Mad Milk is applied before the damage is, healing the Medic on hit.[3] The duration of Mad Milk depends on how much damage was dealt, ranging from a minimum of 6 seconds (at 25 damage) to a maximum of 10 (at 75 damage).[4] Upon secondary fire (default key: MOUSE2), a special bolt is charged up (similar to a Huntsman arrow)[5] which could heal teammates on hit at the same rate of the Crusader's Crossbow (damage dealt times two).[6] Additionally, upon hitting a teammate with a special arrow, all three Vaccinator ÜberCharge resistances would be applied for up to 3 seconds depending on the health healed. At 0 health healed the resistances would last for 1 second, while at 150 health healed they last for 3 seconds.[7] The Milk Crossbow's syringes cannot headshot.[8]
