And attention hepatitis fans: What heritage set would be complete without a rusty old gun that shoots dirty needles? — Overdose publicity blurb

”

The Overdose is a primary weapon for the Medic. It is a prototype Syringe Gun, sporting a white and team-colored needle disposal container in place of a needle cache.

This weapon deals 10% less damage to enemies than the default Syringe Gun. However, as the Medic builds up his ÜberCharge, his movement speed will increase by 1% for every 10% of ÜberCharge gained, for a total increase of 10% at 100% ÜberCharge. This bonus only applies when the Overdose is the active weapon.

The Overdose was previously tested in Team Fortress 2 Beta as the Beta Syringe Gun.

Bugs

• The trigger for the Overdose, unlike that of the other Medic primary weapons, does not move when fired and subsequently clips into the Medic's fingers.
• When the Overdose is reloaded, no air cylinders are ejected, or inserted.
• If ÜberCharge is activated, then the Medic switches to the Overdose, the speed buff will stay at whatever percentage the ÜberCharge was at at the time of switch, instead of reducing while the charge drains.
• Only the client sees the fired needles, they do not show up for other players.

Trivia

• The model for the Overdose was shown on the revised promotional image for the Double Drop Week on June 2nd, 2011, on the official TF2 blog, before the weapon was released in the Über Update.
• An overdose is a greater-than-recommended dosage of a drug which may result in illness or death.
