Archimedes is a cosmetic item for the Medic. It is the Medic's pet white dove, as seen in Meet the Medic, who sits on the Medic's shoulder and wobbles around with his movements. Fitting with its appearance in Meet the Medic, the RED version of Archimedes is splattered with blood, while the BLU version lacks this feature.
The eyes and beak of Archimedes are connected with the Medic's facial animations, allowing him to parrot the Medic's expressions.
When players equipped with this item kill an enemy unassisted by another player, the killfeed shows everyone in Pyroland that it gets the assist, with its custom name if it has one.
This item was awarded in Genuine quality to those who purchased the plush version from the Valve Store before it was discontinued.
