Final Medic Weapons Revealed

[CSN NewsBot]

During a party in San Francisco last night, Valve revealed the final list of the new weapons coming for the Medic. The weapons, which will be unlocked by the way of achievement progress, will replace the Medic's current lineup.

• Blutsaugher - The first unlock, coming after 1/3rd of the achievements have been obtained, will replace the syringe gun. The gun will have a 0% chance to critical hit an enemy but will draw health with each successful hit.
  
  
• Critzcrieg - This second unlock comes after the player has earned 2/3rds of the new achievements. This is the weapon that replaces the ubercharge's invulnerable period, opting to give the Medic's target a 100% chance for critical hits for a period of time.
  
  
• Ubersaw - The final weapon comes only when all 36 achievements have been earned. This weapon, when it successfully connects with an enemy, will fill up the ubercharge up by 1/4th of its total. Four successful hits will completely fill up the Medic's ubercharge.

The new content is still tentatively slated for release next week.



Shacknews will have hands-on impressions of the new weapons and the Goldrush map coming shortly.

Not bad, not bad at all.



Will we be seeing weapons for other characters?

oh my god at the ubersaw...the thing already crits like 70% of the time, second only to the wrench, and now you can swing wildly a couple times, ubercharge yourself, and go on a crit rampage. i hope the other unlocks show up soon, too, otherwise it's gonna be like a half-dozen medics per team all the time.

You can't ubercharge yourself and attack.

Better than the current situation where there are zero medics per team.
