Hello, Fräuleins!
The Medic, introducing his enemies to the concept of lactation

The Beta Syringe Gun is a primary weapon for the Medic that currently exists in Team Fortress 2 Beta. The Beta Syringe Gun uses the Syringe Gun model.

This variation of the Syringe Gun deals 50% less damage than that of the stock Syringe Gun, and fires needles at half the rate. However, enemies that are dealt damage with the syringes are coated in Mad Milk for 2 seconds. Successive hits add to the duration of the effect. Unlike the on-hit effect of the Übersaw, the Beta Syringe Gun is capable of infecting cloaked, or disguised Spies with Mad Milk. This makes the Beta Syringe Gun ideal for a Medic dealing with Spies, or a lone Medic helping a large group take on another large group.

Since the Beta Syringe Gun is still in an unreleased stage, these attributes may be changed or the weapon may be scrapped entirely.
