Ha ha ha! Oktoberfest!
The Medic

Oktoberfest is one of the Medic's ability taunts. Upon taunting with the Kritzkrieg equipped, the Medic takes a brief whiff out of the barrel of his weapon, laughing and proclaiming "OKTOBERFEST!", before the taunt ends.

Performing the taunt will heal the Medic for 11 health, discounting passive regeneration. This does not contribute to the ÜberCharge meter but will count towards the total healing displayed on the scoreboard. The taunt proves invaluable when the player is taking passive damage such as fire or bleeding, or when natural health regeneration is too slow.

This special taunt can be used during humiliation and stalemates.
