TF2 Best Medic Weapons [TOP 10 List] – Primary, Secondary & Melee

tf2 best medic weapons

The Medic, abbreviated “Medler”, is one of the standard characters of the game. He attracts attention with his healing and Übercharge features. The Medic is responsible for the survival of the other members of the team. That’s exactly why Medic players need to pay double attention to the weapons they use. We decided to list TF2 best medic weapons in today’s article.

There will be 10 different items in total on our list. We tried to compile the best weapons that you can use as Primary, Secondary and Melee. In terms of price, there are choices that will not strain the budget of the players. As a matter of fact, TF2 items are often priced under $1. We do not think that you will find it difficult to buy. If you are ready now, let’s get started and take a quick look at the details of our article.

1. Crusader’s Crossbow

  • Price: $0.02 – $1.50
  • Slot: Primary
  • Released: December 17, 2010 Patch

The Crusader’s Crossbow is a classic yet high-tech primary weapon. He can fire special arrows that heal allies and deal additional damage based on the distance traveled. It also has the feature of automatically changing the magazine when the weapon is not active. There are 2 negative aspects in total.

The most important thing is that Crusader’s Crossbow cannot hit the enemy in the head. Second, the character equipped with the job has -75% primary ammo reduced.

In addition, be careful not to use this weapon when you have a Pyro weapon Tf2 on the opposing team. Because the Pyro has the ability to heal his own teammates by directing the thrown arrows.

2. Quick-Fix

  • Price: $0.02 – $0.92
  • Slot: Secondary
  • Released: June 23, 2011 Patch

The TF2 Quick-Fix is a secondary weapon used by the Medic. On one side of the gun, you can see the Übercharge indicator. Quick-Fix, which has a simple blender look, is also very useful in the game content. For example, +40% healing rate, +10% Übercharge recharge, and a 300% healing speed with Übercharge’s effect. In addition, Übercharge is also known to grant immunity from factors affecting the movement.

Also, the Medic can allow his current mate to copy their explosive splash or shield charge while using Quick-Fix. He can then send an equal force to the Medic in the same direction, following behind his teammates who threw themselves across the map. Although it is a bit complicated to use the gun, we think you will get used to it as you use it.

3. Solemn Vow

  • Price: $0.02 – $0.31
  • Slot: Melee
  • Released: June 23, 2011 Patch

Solemn Vow item was designed as a reflection of Valve’s understanding of humor. The item features a marble bust of Hippocrates. And the inscription “Do No Harm” on it attracts attention. However, by looking at the staleness of the sense of humor, you can attack the enemy characters with all your strength. This weapon is one of the best Medic melee weapons, it is character-specific and gives some extra buffs.

You can see the health of the enemy while this strange statue is in your hand. However, as a negative effect, you will have a 10% slower firing speed. It is not known how useful it is, but we can say that there are people who use it even because of its appearance.

4. Overdose

  • Price: $0.02 – $0.34
  • Slot: Primary
  • Released: June 23, 2011 Patch

The Overdose is a great primary weapon for the Medic. In fact, we consider Overdose to be one of the best Medic weapons in TF2. However, since it is a bit complicated to use, we wanted to put it in third place on our list. Without further ado, I want to move on to the weapon’s feature. When you shoot at the enemy with Overdose, it gives 15% less than the default pistol.

In addition to all this, the Medic increases active movement speed by +20% when generating Übercharge. The gun resembles a nail machine in terms of appearance and shooting sound. It can be a good choice as it is very, very cheap in terms of price.

5. Amputator

  • Price: $0.02 – $0.11
  • Slot: Melee
  • Released: December 17, 2010 Patch

Amputator is considered one of the best melee weapons used by the Medic character. In addition, the Amputator was created by the community and presented to the players in 2010. When you pick up the Amputator in the game, you will see that it resembles a gun handle. And a cross symbol denoting the health symbol also attracts attention. In addition to all these, the striking and sharp part has serrations resembling a saw.

Let’s look at the Amputator’s stats, when the Medic uses this weapon, the effect grants 25% Übercharge. As a disadvantage, it will give the Medic a 20% slower fire rate as a debuff. If you like the gun and want to buy it, you can quickly register on Tradeit.gg and buy it at much lower prices than the market. If you want, you can take a look at the prices on the Steam Community Market. However, we do not recommend it because of the much higher price.

6. Vaccinator 

  • Price: $0.02 – $0.58
  • Slot: Secondary
  • Released: December 20, 2012 Patch

The Vaccinator is a community-created secondary weapon for use by the Medic character. Based on the general appearance of the gun, we can say that it has a futuristic image. In the lower center of the gun is a liquid-filled beaker and to the left is a small monitor resembling a camera lens. In addition to all these, there are cables and valves specially attached to the body of the gun.

Our character targets opponents and teammates by holding the gun with both hands in the game. When the Medic uses Vaccinator, he gains +67% Übercharge. When you use the weapon on a teammate with reduced health, it provides 10% damage resistance as well as the healing effect.

On the downside, it reduces -66% bonus health speed. The second disadvantage is that you gain -33% Übercharge speed due to your extra healing friends. Finally, Übercharge creates a protective bubble for the selected person or themselves. This bubble provides 75% main damage resistance and 100% critical damage resistance.

7. Blutsauger

  • Price: $0.02 – $0.10
  • Slot: Primary
  • Released: April 29, 2008 Patch

Blutsauger is one of the best weapons for those who want to play the Medic character aggressively in TF2. Its appearance is reminiscent of a handheld camera, but in a style that we can liken to a classic SMG. The entire body of the gun is painted in different shades of black and gray. In addition, there is a heart rhythm symbol in the middle of the weapon, depending on the color of the team.

To talk about the features of the weapon, it fires fast at 18.86 meters per second. In short, it is a fully automatic and single-shot weapon. If your health is low when you use it, your health will increase by +3 for each bullet you hit the opposing player. However, when you use Blutsauger as a disadvantage, you have a -2 health regeneration speed.

8. Kritzkrieg

  • Price: $0.02 – $0.10
  • Slot: Secondary
  • Released: April 29, 2008 Patch

I think there is no one among us who has not played the Half-Life series. The Kritzkrieg looks exactly like the Gluon Gun from Half-Life. In fact, you can understand the similarity between the two games as they were designed by Valve. If we go back to our subject, we can see that the middle mechanism of the Kritzkrieg is burgundy, and the rest of it is dominated by black.

When you use this weapon, the Medic can heal allies until they reach 150% health. Additionally, Kritzkrieg adds Übercharge to allied weapons, providing 100% critical strike chance. In addition, the Medic can move away up to a certain distance while healing with this weapon. And in the same way, he has the ability to hit his teammate from behind the enemies. Another point is that the Medic has the ability to give life to his teammates at different points at the same time. But you have to be careful that the Medic here will heal the closest one more.

By the way, you may not like playing the Medic character. That’s exactly why we prepared a guide about different characters. If you want, you may want to take a few minutes to browse our best Pyro weapons article.

9. Ubersaw

  • Price: $0.02 – $0.11
  • Slot: Melee
  • Released: April 29, 2008 Patch

Ubersaw may be one of the best Medic melee weapons in TF2. However, newbies do not prefer it because it is risky to use. The barrel part of this weapon consists of a bone saw and the middle part has a mechanism resembling a liquid-filled syringe. There is probably a row-like blade at the tip of the bone saw. It can be frightening in the effects it gives as much as in its appearance. Let’s take a brief look at its features now.

Übercharge is recharged by 25% each time the Medic successfully targets an opponent with Ubersaw. However, Ubersaw provides a -20% slower fire rate when you switch to the primary weapon. While he doesn’t have many stats, he’s strong enough to slash his opponent with a critical strike when he charges Übercharge.

10. Vita-Saw

  • Price: $0.02 – $0.61
  • Slot: Melee
  • Released: September 30, 2010 Patch

Vita-Sav has the feature of being one of the best Medic weapons used in close combat in TF2. In terms of appearance, there is a glass capsule containing liquid in its middle part. It has a barrel resembling a syringe at the front. Finally, in the middle of the weapon, it looks like a weapon with a dull gray blade.

Vita-Saw collects organs for every hit you make to opponents. These collected organs can also be used when the Medic is resurrected. The Medic can respawn with the Übercharge value and have 15% Übercharge protection based on the number of organs collected. Lastly, the only drawback is that the Medic character starts the game with -10 health.
