Ze healing is not as rewarding as ze hurting.
The Medic

The Übersaw is an unlockable melee weapon for the Medic class. It appears as a cleaver-like blade featuring a large syringe with its needle protruding out of the edge, and the Bonesaw's grip.

Every successful hit with this weapon adds 25% to the player's ÜberCharge meter, at the cost of a 20% slower swing rate than the Bonesaw's. This effect still applies to a Scout under the effects of Bonk! Atomic Punch; however, the Scout will not receive any damage. Its Critical hit animation is an upwards sawing motion, the same for the Bonesaw.

The vial on the Übersaw's syringe serves as a visual representation of the Medic's ÜberCharge. It fills slowly as teammates are healed and players are attacked by the weapon. Should the ÜberCharge be deployed and the player switches to the Übersaw, the liquid can be seen slowly draining from the syringe.

Taunting with the Übersaw equipped will perform the deadly Spinal Tap attack.
