Amputator
“ | This terrifying saw will surely give your enemies nightmares for years, if they survive that is!
— Amputator publicity blurb
|
” |
The Amputator is a community-created melee weapon for the Medic. It is a saw with angular edges and a distinct team-colored handle with an arrowhead-like extension near the top and the Medic's class icon in the center.
While this weapon is active, the Medic regenerates up to an extra three health per second, at the cost of the weapon dealing 20% less damage than the Bonesaw. Additionally, when taunting (default key: G) or pressing alt-fire (default key: Mouse2) with this weapon, a Medicating Melody is produced and heals all nearby teammates and gives a small amount of ÜberCharge based on the amount of healing done. Disguised Spies, cloaked or not, are also affected from this healing. The Amputator does not overheal teammates.
The Medic is credited with a kill assist if a teammate within the taunt's area of effect kills an enemy.
The kill icon for the Amputator was contributed by MasterOfOrigami.
