Title: NEW MEDIC WEAPONS!! READ! NOT FAKE!!
Post by: crazydog on April 16, 2008, 02:48:55 AM
The Blutsaugher
For players that earn one third of the 36 new medic achievements, they will be given a new syringe gun. Called "The Blutsaugher," this new weapon no longer has the ability to score critical hits against an opponent. Instead it will draw health from enemies each time a syringe hits. Especially useful as a weapon to retreat away from the fight while staying alive.

The Critzcrieg
Once a medic has earned two thirds of the achievements, they will be granted "The Critzcrieg." This new medigun uses its ubercharge not for invulnerability, but to give its recipient 100% chance to fire critical ordinance. Medics and the player they are charging need to be careful though, because as much fun as it is to fire critical rockets as fast as you can, the other team will see what you're up to and try to put a quick stop to your plan.

The Ubersaw
For the determined medic that has earned all 36 of the new achievements, they will find themselves the proud owner of "The Ubersaw," which will take damage done in melee attacks and convert it directly to ubercharge. Four hits with this new weapon will fully charge whatever medigun the medic has equpped.

4 Bonesaw hits for full ubercharge? Holy crap!:
1) Medic 1: get uber during setup
2) Mecic 2+3 get double ubered, hit enemies 4 times.
3) Your ubercharges have doubled. :P


Also, impressions of Goldrush and the new weapons:

Chief of Staff: Accumulate ten million total health points
HOLY SHIT. I only have ~690k health points
Time to cheat! Have someone go soldier, and toggle attack in front of a locker while you heal them. :P

Also, Meet the Scout on Friday!

1up.com says the release date is the 20th

Impatient Team Fortress 2 players who complain that they can never find a competent Medic when they need one can stop smashing "E" on April 20th. A trio of newly introduced doctor devices and the 36 achievement challenges that unlock them guarantee games with more stethoscopes than sniper scopes.
