Hello, Fräuleins!
The Medic

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

This weapon deals 10% less damage than that of the stock Syringe Gun. However, as the Medic builds up his ÜberCharge, his movement speed while holding the Overdose will increase proportionally, reaching a maximum of 10%.

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