The '''Überspritze''' is an alternative melee weapon for the [[Medic]]. It is an oversized, metal syringe containing a team colored liquid displayed through measuring glass, it has two finger rings around the bottom for a users fingers to fill in order for steady handling and has blood stains around the tip.
{{Quotation|'''The Medic''' ''after extracting Über from his recently deceased "patient"''|''Haha! Vhat a bloodbazh!''}}


The Überspritze is a vintage yet unique melee weapon that allows the [[Medic]] to use his last ditch attempt at survival as a way benefit both himself and the team if he escapes. When attacking an enemy with the Überspritze, it has the familiar function of letting the user extract 25% Über from their opponent while doing the same 65 points of damage the stock [[Bonesaw]] grants. However this benefit does not come without the cost of blood, as a result the Überspritze has a 20% slower swing speed and removes 10 points of maximum health from the user bringing the [[Medic]]'s base health down to 140 (215 when overhealed).
The '''Überspritze''' is an alternative melee weapon for the [[Medic]]. It is an oversized, metal syringe containing a team colored liquid displayed through measuring glass. It has two finger rings around the bottom and has blood stains around the tip. The liquid inside increases alongside the Medic's ÜberCharge percentage.


While it's disadvantages may seem small in comparison to what's gained, they can greatly impede the user's life in many situations. As the description implies, the Überspritze is not a tool for major combat scenarios but rather a backup weapon, rewarding a user for not only landing their slower strikes but also surviving their enemy encounter with 10 less health at their disposal.
When the Überspritze hits an enemy, 25% ÜberCharge is given to the user regardless of damage. This occurs even on cloaked enemies, but not invulnerable or disguised ones, nor enemies that are cloaked and disguised at the same time. As a penalty, the Überspritze removes 10 points of maximum health from the user, bringing the [[Medic]]'s base health down to 140 (215 when overhealed). Its stats are otherwise identical to the [[Bonesaw]]. Because the Überspritze can increase the Über meter faster than it drains, it's possible to indefinitely sustain an ÜberCharge by attacking enemies while one is active.


== Update history ==  
Taunting with the Überspritze, or pressing the alternate fire key, activates the Überslice kill taunt, where the Medic stabs into an enemy and pulls the weapon out. The initial stab deals 1 damage and stuns for 3.7 seconds, filling the Über meter by 25%. The pull out deals 500 damage, does not stun, and fills the Über meter by 100%. The initial stab stuns invulnerable enemies, but does not give Über. The pull out gives Über on invulnerable enemies, or regardless of if the enemy dies. The taunt has a longer range than the regular melee swing and cannot deal critical hits, but can deal mini-crits. It will not damage buildings.

== Strategy ==
The Überspritze gives the Medic -10 health, but grants a massive 25% boost to your ÜberCharge meter for each attack that lands. If an enemy misjudges his ability to fight you, take him out with the Überspritze for an instant advantage. If you end up cornered, as a last resort, you can try taking it out to quickly fill the ÜberCharge meter, then escape with the resulting invincibility.
 
Avoid actively pursuing combat with the Überspritze in order to build a charge. Melee combat is risky against any class; instead, heal injured teammates, as healing builds up 25% ÜberCharge after about 10 seconds and 8 seconds for [[Medi Gun]] and [[Kritzkrieg]], respectively.
