The Medic is so....shootable.

[Miles Bluefalls]

Not even talking about the bright colors making him an easy target. It's his voice lines. I don't think I've ever encountered a special unit in any game that's made me want to hunt something down and prioritize it as the Payday 2 Medic.

He's just...such a NERD. With his cheesy lines, that voice that if you had pitched it just a little higher would have sounded outright naselly, and combining those together with that "you're BAD GUYS and BAD GUYS never win and IMMA GOOD GUY" attitude.

The other specials come on the field, and they talk smack and act all big, the Dozers and their "I'm a walking tank" schtick and Winters being all smug and Cloakers being trolls... And then you have THIS nerd coming in and doing the "I'M A HERO!" thing, and it's made me want to drop whatever I'm doing just to shut him up just for being like that little kid brother who's decided to insert himself into the big boy party. Like, the second I hear him come onto the field. Just "dogpile on the nerd".

So yeah, good work there. Between the outfit and the voice lines, I don't think you could have made a better walking, talking bulls-eye.

While not everybody adheres to this unspoken rule, you generally leave medics alone. Cutting down a medic purposely is one of the bigger ♥♥♥♥ moves you can pull in armed conflict. Even in WW2, there were instances of actively resupplying enemy medics because both sides saw the ethical issue with killing doctors to effectively kill more enemy soldiers.

My point? The Payday gang has gone into full blown ♥♥♥♥ mode.

Child soldier character pack incoming

A medic with a gun is no more a medic.

There is a reason why medics never had any weapons on them in WW2.

Umm... except not really?

This is why I love them. They are there, on the shooting grounds, shouting "ME DIE FIRST, ME DIE FIRST, I'M THE BIGGEST ♥♥♥♥♥♥ AROUND HERE"

Just like in TF2.

Not that you need an additional incentive to shoot the medic, but it would have been a nice touch if occasionally when you got one they dropped a FAK.

Actually, in TF2, the medic just shows that he has no respect for the lives of his teammates

Uh, yeah they did. Even in modern theatre you get a rifle. Non combatants doesn't literally mean incapble of defending yourself.

The medics shoot at you first in Payday.

Oh. Yes. He just likes science, if i recall correctly. But that's just lore vise. Gameplay vise he needs to go down first.

I know, I know. Technically speaking they are combatants at that point and aren't protected in any way shape or form. It was just a talking point in how far we've come as a gang.

[Sanyavok]

yeah its fun when it heals up cops thru walls and ♥♥♥♥

He says "♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥" at 0:40. Wew.

well, medics and field hospitals have been primary targets in wars and battles and still they are.
it is very natural that you want to kill someone who heals your enemy and real-life medics are pretty easy to spot, so PD2 medic is kinda accurate. except they might gun you down if you are too careless, while real medics wield smaller arms like pistol or smg and not very active in combat

So are Bulldozers, Shields, Tazers, Cloakers and Snipers since they have different models, uniforms, and colour patterns.

What's your point?

"Hurt, or heal?"

It sounds nothing like what you said.

Overkill just wanted to make a game out of it. "Take a shot everytime you shoot the red guy"
