How To Play Advanced Medic, And The Basics.

This is a guide to playing Medic Advanced and will also cover basics. This guide will cover most of the stuff you need to know to play a good medic. This is my first guide though so it might suck. Also If you see this guide recomend it to your friends on steam please and thank you for the support

Medic's Role

The role of the Medic In Team Fortress 2 is to heal your teammates. Medic Is not really defensive or offensive but as a mix of both. He Is mainly a support class. The medic Is great for attacking because he has Uber Charge that can make teammates Invulnerable for a short period of time. Another way to be offensive as medic is to use a Medi Gun called the "Kritz-Kreig". It is an unlock weapon. But rather then making you Ubered and invulnerable, It gives the healer critical hits on the Uber. The Medic Can be defensive through having an Ubered Heavy on defense in modes like Capture The Flag Or King Of The Hill. The medic can be good in any situation. The medic can also defend him self with his weapons the Syringe gun, and the Bonesaw. They provide the Medic with ways to keep him self alive. The Medic is a Key class to play in any game including Mann vs Machine. That is the Medics role to play in most game modes.

Time To have Some Fun facts! :D

Name: Unknown

Location Of Origin: Rottenburg, Germany

Job: Doctor assisted Homicide

Motto: "Prepare for your examination"

Description: 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.

Medic Offense

The Medic Is A Great class for Offense. But not in a way of going and taking out buildings and sentrys solo. He Is A support offense. He Helps the team Win the Objective through healing them. He can also set up Ubercharge. It is key to taking out buildings. A standard Ubercharge length is 8 seconds. So In 8 Seconds an Ubered heavy Can easily take out usefull buildings in game modes like Capture The Flag.
The Medic can Also Use the Kritz-Kreig For Attacking but beware, Critical hits dont have an affect on buildings.

Medic Defense

The Medic Has Great Defensive Stats. He can easily take out Lots of targets with the Kritz-Kreig. Or The Medic can Use Ubercharge to block enemy attacks from killing your team. The Medic Also Is Good For Defense Because he Also stays alive for a longer time then some other classes. He Has A base HP of 150 And An Overheal Max of 225 HP. So he can stay alive and help his team stay alive as well.The Medic is a very usefull class for defense. He can Keep his teammates alive to defend the Intel in Ctf Or Can be Usefull in KOTH (King Of The Hill). Being a good Medic on defense means defend By ANY MEANS. Which means don't hide in corners or do nothing. You Wanna Get out there and help your team! You as a medic can also heal the engineer in attacks so he stays alive while healing his buildings. The regular team doing good should have a medic on it. Because if it isn't for the Medic then the whole team would be dead and the other team would win. A medic is VITAL for defense. He Is Very Use full in many situations in gamemodes when defending. The Medic Is A Great class to have around when the other team is attacking. The Medic holds the whole team together.

Medics Medi-Guns

Basic Medic Knowlage

As A Medic you are a HUGE threat. You dont look like one but you are. Your teammates are a threat. You help Them stay alive, You = threat. XD

You are a big target. If anyone has played Mann Vs Machine they realize you need to take out the Medics to win! Because if you try to take out a Heavy with a Medic on him, The Medic kinda makes the Heavy a Tank. So If you Dont take out the Medic soon the Medic will overheal him and when he does die he will have 450 health!


The Medic is a good teammate. As a Medic, Dont heal only 1 heavy with all your teammates calling "MEDIC!" 10000000 times. Heal them all. Then they will stop yelling at you because they will have Overheal. Also, If one of your teammates is dying, Then heal them instead of pocketing. Also when Using Uber, Make sure that The teammate you are healing says "Activate Charge!" Or some sort of indication you will activate it rather then wasting it on some player not knowing he is going to Uber.

My Regular Medic loadout

My Loadouts




The Blutsauger

The Blutsauger Is By far in my opinion the best Syringe gun.
It Gives you +3 Health On Hit. The Syringe guns fire Crazy fast! Hmmmm. Fast Fire + 3 health on hit = BROKEN! It has 1 downside. When holding the Medi-Gun Or The Syringe gun, You get +3 health every second. With this weapon they reduce it by 2 Hp with a health regeneration base of 1 HP per second. It Is Way Better then The Overdose Or Crossbow in Stats and Gameplay.


Any Medi-Gun

You might be asking "How do you equip all at a time?" Well, you dont. Each and every Medi-gun Has its own situation like the stock is for Uber Kritzkreig is for crits, and the vaccinator and Quick Fix are Very situational. There is no real standard one in my opinion so i go with whatever suits the kind of situation at the moment.



The Ubersaw Or Solemn Vow

These 2 are a tie in my opinion. The Ubersaw has a 25 % slower firing speed but on hit gives you 25 % Ubercharge. If you do happen to be in that kind of situation the hits can save your life!
And the Solemn Vow Has an upside of letting you see enemys Health! It can be used for strategizing attacks on groups of enemys and which ones to focus on. Whats The Downside?
THERE IS NONE. Although it ties with Ubersaw because I think The Ubersaw Is Really good. And the downside doesnt really matter.

Conclusion

In The End The Medic is a usefull class to have on every team and is one of the best classes in the game. He is Usefull in all types of games. If It wasn't for Medic you would be dead! Now that you know all of this info I advise you to Make the Medic More popular. People Think of Him As The Noob Class! But He Is One of The Greatest along with the Other said "Noob" class Engineer. But the famous quote for him is "playing like a turtle gets you killed like a turtle". But He is Usefull to. All classes are vital, Including Medic.
