The Medic on his profession

The Medic is a support class whose purpose is to provide continuous healing and intermittent invulnerability to his team. He has 150 health and 107% speed, and heals himself by up to 6 health per second, reduced to 3 health per second when damaged within 10 seconds, regeneration that is doubled while healing an injured teammate. His Medi Gun is his most iconic tool, providing a constant supply of healing and Overheal to teammates. Healing teammates will fill up your Ubercharge meter, which when activated, will turn the Medic and his patient invincible for 8 seconds. Alternatively, other weapons such as the Kritzkrieg and Rejuvenator have alternative Übers, with the Kritzkrieg providing guaranteed crits to the Medics patient, and the Rejuvenator providing a stationary, AOE uber to teammates in its radius.

The rest of the Medic's arsenal consists of his Syringe Gun and his three melee weapons; the Überspritze, the Bonesaw, and the Shock Therapy. All of these weapons are largely ineffective in direct combat, with the Syringe Gun dealing a small amount of damage and knockback for each syringe. His weak combat ability combined with his powerful healing abilities results in enemies targeting him to prevent the Medic from getting an Übercharge to use in a push. As a result, he is often focused by pick classes like Sniper, Spy, and Scout, as they are usually in the best position to kill him. To counter this, the Medic often never stands still, maintains awareness and heals stronger combat classes, such as Heavy, Demoman, and Soldier to protect him, push forward, and deal damage.

The Medic is voiced by Robin Atkin Downes.

Bio

Location of origin: Stuttgart, Germany
Job: Doctor Assisted Homicide
Motto: "Prepare for your examination"
What he lacks in compassion for the sick, respect for human dignity, and any sort of verifiable formal training in medicine, the Medic more than makes up for with a bottomless supply of giant needles and a trembling enthusiasm for plunging them into exposed flesh. Raised in Stuttgart, Germany during an era when the Hippocratic oath had been downgraded to an optional Hippocratic suggestion, the Medic considers healing a generally unintended side effect of satisfying his own morbid curiosity.

Tips

Main article: Basic Medic Strategy

As a Medic…

• …you fill your ÜberCharge faster by healing teammates who are more hurt.
• …your ÜberCharge will build much faster during setup time.
• …fill your ÜberCharge meter by healing teammates, then hit MOUSE2 to ÜberCharge.
• …keep alert for teammates calling for your help. Use the cross speech bubbles onscreen to find them.
• …remember that syringes travel in arcs and have a travel time. Lead your targets and aim higher in order to land successful hits.
• …your Medi Gun's ÜberCharge makes both you and your target invulnerable for a short time.
• …use your Medi Gun to heal teammates, and buff them up to 150%%^(sic) of their normal health.
• …you cannot capture a Control Point or pick up the Intelligence briefcase while invulnerable.
• …your bonesaw can be used in defensive situations when you are separated from your target.
• …your Kritzkrieg gives your target guaranteed crits. Use it in areas where there are a lot of enemies.
• …when using the Überspritze, be sure to watch your health. You have 10 less maximum health when equipped with it.
• …the Shock Therapy will deal more damage the more it's charged. Its charge will be fully depleted on any hit you land on enemies.
• …the Shock Therapy can be used to fully heal a teammate at full charge, but lowers your main heal rate.

Trivia

• In Team Fortress 2 Classic, Medic gains another line for his "Go Go Go!" voice command where he says "Los los!", this voice line was lifted from Prerelease versions of Team Fortress 2.
• One of the Demoman's responses suggests that the Medic might actually be married, and that his wife is having an affair with him.
• One of the Sniper's responses suggests he might have actually been paid by the Medic's own teamates to kill him, hinting that perhaps they might not be as receptive towards his practices than previously thought.
