Anyway...that's how I lost my medical license.
The Medic

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. An air canister is connected to the container via team-specific rubber piping.

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 linearly from standard Medic speed up to 10% faster. This bonus only applies when the Overdose is being held at the time.

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