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 your active weapon.

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