Overhealer
More actions
The Overhealer was an alternative Medic secondary option to the Medi Gun and the Kritzkrieg. It was very similar in appearance to the Medi Gun, however, it sported a twin-barrel design, with one barrel being shorter than the other. It emitted a team-colored energy beam leading to his patient, which resembled a strand of DNA. The Overhealer was attached to a tank on the Medic's back by a rubber hose. Patients that killed an enemy while being healed by the Overhealer would give the Medic an assist.

The Overhealer was identical to the Medi Gun in healing capability, the amount of health given per second ranging between 24 and 72, depending on the last time the patient took damage. If they took damage within 10 seconds, it heals for its minimum rate. If they took damage over 15 seconds ago, it healed for its maximum. Patients who took damage between 10 and 15 seconds ago were healed somewhere inbetween, scaling linearly. If the patient is at full health, the Overhealer would overheal them, up to 1.5 times their base health. Unlike the stock Medi Gun, the Overhealer's overheal did not decay over time, but while healing an overhealed patient, the Medic cannot naturally regenerate health.
The Overhealer's main drawback, however, was the fact that it did not have an ÜberCharge option, unlike the other Medic Secondaries. This made it very ineffective and unpopular, which led to its eventual removal from the game.
