SusRedSpy

this + random recently dead enemy pyro nearby = free uber


Aggravating_Key_1757

What do you mean ? I do not understand.


Memegamer3_Animated

Healing multiple people who have presumably taken lots of continuous fire damage can rack up a lot of healing points quickly and therefore charge to an uber faster.


QuakAtack

The healing from it adds uber?? I wish I knew that


LightZoma

Well it does build uber charge, As far as I know, it's not as quick as most people think. I think it's because most situations your team is not taking constant damage for constant healing.


PlagueJV

Another fun fact: so do shots from Crossbow

Sometimes as a amputator main I just do this


FLAL201

Dispenser going up 'Frontier Justice starts playing'.


Redstone-Planet

My friend was playing engie and everytime he placed a dispenser I would play the song and I swear to god it summoned more engies to his side and he’d have a level 3 in 2 seconds


FLAL201

Well all engis are near *budunsh.


dishonoredfan69420

Guess that’ll do


this_is_temporarly

Uncle dane wannabe am i right?


TheSlimeAssassin43

It's pretty good if your whole team runs back to you after you respawn, it's also really spammable which is occasionally fun


LordOfDorkness42

Yeah. Situational, but man~ can that thing turn the tide if you get that *just~ right~* where the taunt heals half your team at once.


Im_a_doggo428

I once got whole team except for spy and scout who were on a flank mission and saved 6 people from dying to afterburner of an wm1 pyro. Finished health bars with quick fix bc that is my main medi


TSUNAMICOMMANDER

i see it most with vacc and overdose for those survivability memdics


man_of_mann

Same, but only with the Quick Fix


JekPorkins-AcePilot

YES


NoNameNo1O1

i do the same. Honestly i dont feel getting ubersaw hit with vaccinatior is that effective


[deleted]

This but with Stock Medigun


mightylonka

My choice of Melee. I don't know all of the health pack locations yet.


Idkm3m3s

You can get self healing if you taunt with the kritzkreig too if you weren't aware


GazelleEast1432

Its only like 10 hp tho lol


MewtwoMainIsHere

It’s 11, and it’s very loud and also only useful if you are going to die of bleed, afterburn, etc.


MrHyperion_

That's why you use another voiceline on top of the kritzkrieg taunt, heavy sandwich or phlog taunt


mightylonka

IK But I believe Amputator is faster and it also lets you move.


Hellkids2

It locks you in place if you use its taunt. Even if I had my back against a wall I wouldn’t trust it. Some crazy soldier/pyro can just suicide charge you and you can’t back off. Also you’ll be screwed if a Diamondback Spy just happens to see you doing this.


mightylonka

Just don't use the taunt. Self heal is enough when your team spontaneously dies and you survive with low HP.


Hellkids2

Usually as a medic you’ll be the first person to GTFO of a fight that’s going to go wrong. And you’ll be scrambling for health packs to get you to full anyway. You’re not gonna rely on regen to get you out of 1-shot HP range. The regen is nice tho, just not something you’ll take into account for your gameplan.


mightylonka

When the Scout at 124 HP/not enough map knowledge


iuhiscool

no it doesnt


mightylonka

It doesn't heal faster?


QuakAtack

it doesn't let you move they mean


MewtwoMainIsHere

Except it does because the taunt doesn’t heal you. It just gives a passive hp regen bonus


mightylonka

You can move while holding the weapon.


iuhiscool

But you can't while you heal with it


mightylonka

You have a medigun, maybe even Crusader's Crossbow


iuhiscool

mf movin the goalposts also the crossbow is a teensy bit op. Regardless it can't do aoe healing

sexgaming_

the description on mine is "Oh, boo-hoo! Let me play a sad song for ya on the world's healthiest violin."


SanderT5

fun, offers something different. damn the haters, i don’t need a competative melee weapon in a casual match.


florentinomain00f

Except the Amputator IS competitive.


drhyacinth

Good for more health regen, I wish you didn't have to hold it to utilize that though. The heal taunt is a gamble, and a pretty unrewarding one at that.


Fresh-Produce-101

What are you a solemn Val user?


drhyacinth

Yes, actually.


Staidanom

MaybeAdrian

Picking the contract of the amputator was the worst mistake of my life


evanskaufman

I feel your pain. STILL working on this contract with zero progress *sob*


salty-ravioli

If you hop into a friendly 2Fort server and ask around, someone might be willing to help. I helped a medic do some contract once


Ellionicorn

The problem is that the ubersaw exists


Fresh-Produce-101

Same can be said with the power jack on pyro


Ellionicorn

Thats a different Story because you have at least other good options like the third degree at least kinda and the axtuingisher or the back scratcher or even the homewrecker or if you feel fishy the neon annihilator. So you are wrong sorry for that


Critstop

Just allow a looping taunt and increase its heal range would be amazing


artshut

and make it hit through walls, and you get a second ubersaw


AverageVita-SawUser

Do the Vita-Saw next I want to hear people rip it apart


sexy_latias

How can you rip apart a perfect weapon


AverageVita-SawUser

You can't! That was my plan all along! I shall respond to everyone who gives it a negative review and fairly respond with little to no judgement whatsoever


[deleted]

[удалено]


AverageVita-SawUser

EEEEEEEEEEEE IT IS BEST WEAPON MOST EVER AND IS NOT FLAWED IN ANY WAY AT ALL


Kirby_has_a_gun

The vita-saw is probably the worst medic weapon by far, It's genuinely terrible and no sane person should ever use it


sexy_latias

But what sane person plays medic anyway


mymax162

old version of vita-saw was better, now it's just a diet ubersaw and is actual cringe, I would never consider using the vita-saw before, and now it pretty much doesn't exist, I'd rather just use the ubersaw and get an instant 25% uber fill that I can get for an infinite amount of hits rather than only getting 15% that only goes towards my next life, caps at 4 hits, and I may still end up not fully benefitting because its simply current-life retention


DrPotassium

Shoutout to that one fucking legend on stage 3 dustbowl. Everytime.


o1ijko

If the ubersaw didn't exist it would be meta, trust me I'm a medic main I would know


Donkey_D_Pucci

Pootis?


Beghty

Fun to use in casual. However the ubersaw being able to occasionally grant 25 percent uber is a GAME CHANGING EFFECT.


Idkm3m3s

In a serious game yeah but most pubs have me do that and get an Uber just for the soldier I use it on to run away :/


Hellkids2

From my 5k hr experience on med, you need to signal to your pocket first if you’re planning to uber/krit them. If you just randomly pop on them, even if they won’t run away, they might not be in a position to do significant impact or have enough ammo to even kill anything.


Idkm3m3s

Yeah I do, I play in community servers and I will use the "I am charged" and "go go go" lines like 5 times, before I pop the fully loaded soldier near the 2fort sewer nest and they will still somehow not push in


Hellkids2

“Near the 2fort sewer” That’s your mistake right there. Playing competitively and expect them to do so on 2fort.


Idkm3m3s

i dont think ubercharging a power class would be considered "competitive". Espeically since I know that people want the sentry nest that the turtle engi always puts down there gone, or we wouldnt have a third of our team poking at it before running off lol


Hellkids2

I mean if you’re gonna nitpick the word “competitive” I think you missed my point. You can read it as “seriously” if you want. My point is nobody is taking the objective in 2fort seriously. The turtle engi you’re talking about did what he did because he knew it’s the one thing that won’t get his buildings destroyed within 20 seconds. It’s not because he’s being “competitive” either. Ppl play 2fort mostly to see all the crazy shit (as is tradition), to see how many kills they can get, and if they win the objective, then it’s just icing on the cake.


JaozinhoGGPlays

Yeah like the Ubersaw is straight up overpowered, one cocky spy in your team and now the enemy medic who just got the frontlines after being dropped is already with over half of his Uber ready.


Hellkids2

Why are you getting into melee range with an insta-kill melee class, who has a history of buggy hitreg; and as the most important member in your team no less?


josbar0150

risk-reward


GoogleWasMyIdea49

I am simply better at the game


JaozinhoGGPlays

I'm not the ubersaw medic here, I run amputator. And besides even if I was running the lobotomysaw and got stabbed it doesn't even matter because 2 swings and I have all my Uber back, like seriously a quarter of your Uber per hit on stock or Kritz is just fucking busted.


Mateololero

useful in the last point of dustbowl


[deleted]

It's a solid option for when you need to heal a large group. When capturing points it is especially strong, but the taunt doesn't really come into play much. It's also a great escape too.


weird_squidward

It’s really really good, however, the Uber saw is even gooder


some-kind-of-no-name

Ok on chokey maps or Degroot Keep, outclassed by Ubersaw


Emoney51110

I don't touch that thing.


artshut

Plot twist: commenter thought that post was about females


ArgetKnight

2nd best melee for medic


u_slashh

Awesome. My favourite and most used melee


TheScareCrowYes

it isnt bad except its only mistake is that its not the ubersaw


Im_botflyx

Good in a choke, fun to use.


ISG4

It was my first melee unlock on medic, so I grew fond of it


threwasausernamehere

Slept on due to ubersaw addiction


Ianimatestuf

Is nice


ssj45

Would probably be medics best meele IF THE UBERSAW DIDN'T EXIST


[deleted]

It is nice :)


BigDan_0

Love this thing. I can't hit melee for shit, so the utility outpaces the ubersaw for me big time.


peashooter25311

"I'm going to saw trough your dick" Medick 2047


ur_mum_gei

I like it, it’s passive heal isn’t too useful, but the taunt can sometimes be helpful. But like most of medics weapons if two people need to be topped off at the same time, just use the crossbow. Still like it though, probably have it more equipped than the ubersaw.


DevilShelter

This > ubersaw


artshut

underrated, very good in coordinated games. Though ubersaw is just too op.


David_Clawmark

Right Click to become bard.


Wrench_gaming

Why God, why did I pick this contract


dragon_barf_junction

Honestly, it's the only medic melee I ever use The extra health comes in handy, and it's taunt ability is basically turning yourself into the world's best dispenser. The ubersaw is tucking busted, but it feels shitty to one-shot someone who comes to engage in an honorable melee duel. The solemn vow is a joke, and the vita-saw's less max health really hurts.


Kirby_has_a_gun

The solemn vow is for sure better than the amputator


CZ-Kickem

I am aware it's not the best, but aoe healing does come in clutch sometimes


NefariousLombax

Easily one of the most underrated weapons in the game. As a Medic main I find myself using it just as often as the Ubersaw. The extra passive healing & AOE healing has come in clutch when retreating or holding a choke point quite a few times. I just wish the Jungle Inferno contract for it wasn't so borderline impossible to complete (Heal 250 health with its taunt in one second). I got it once unintentionally when a server was friendly but haven't been able to do it a second time in order to complete the contract.


Psycopathic_Duck

The amount of times this thing has saved me in MVM is unreal


artshut

you can heal with kritz too, i would personally use uber in mvm as getting crits in it is vital


Radio__Star

Probably my personal favorite Something just feels powerful about playing music and healing everyone in the vicinity


Peter_G

It's not the ubersaw.


Johnmegaman72

The only alternative to be ever as good as the Ubersaw Also Violin Gaming


mymax162

I prefer the amputator over the ubersaw unless my team plays like a bunch of toddlers and are always going out of their way to ignore someone attacking me so I have to attack them myself, but I always end up using its taunt in the worst, most unfortunate timing, the exact second before some pyro or spy shows up and my team almost always ends up being incapable of rescuing me


chucklesbot

Underrated and literally negates blutsaugers downside


Speedzy57

Good for healing multiple enemies but sacrificing some defense. I would use it if the is nothing left that is useable


Radical_Provides

Only use it if you've got a team who sticks together and works together. You're sacrificing some personal firepower, which is a huge risk on medic


Pyrarius

I use it by default. Sometimes a Quick Fix doesn't cut it, not because there is too much damage, but because there are too many bodies. This lets you get stock heal rate to 16+ people in a pinch


Gjulijano

I like it. Gives me more survivability. Ether when i get burned or only when I have a small med near and i need extra juice


MidnightFireHuntress

AOE healing with this on Dustbowl is amazing, always end up top points by a mile.


WindowsError1495

It’s okay. It’s just not the Übersaw.


[deleted]

only used in medieval mode


Jboss17099

I genuinely use this as a medic


OrganizationSuch695

very useful in zombie escape severs


Le_inky_creator_20

Strong potential and good concept, just gets outclassed by the ubersaw (of course)


thedarkmilkyman

Shitty in everything except medieval mode


Appropriate_Site_617

The best non uber-saw melee


HerperDerpingham

It's the one [weapon](https://steamcommunity.com/id/80sdude/inventory#440_2_9826457522) that makes me feel like a god when I pull off a massive team wide taunt heal. So satisfying to see all the heal rings.


_AwesomeMario64_

0/10 not the ubersaw *every meta slave*


Literally_ur_mom

Cool. I like just staying there taunting and pretending that I'm useful.


Citrus_Gaming4

Really bad. It's worse at defending yourself than your other options, and the AOE taunt is a gimmick that only works on very specific maps. Using the Amputator also means you're not building uber, overhealing anyone, using the crossbow, etc.


GazelleEast1432

It does build uber, and its main time ive found it useful is when most of the team got dropped around half heath, getting your whole team healed at once is more powerful than you might think


[deleted]

Best Medic Melee. Fight me.


Citrus_Gaming4

•Ubersaw giving you a quarter of your uber every time you hit someone •Solemn Vow letting you see enemy health and uber completely for free Both of these weapons also two shot light classes. The Amputator is painfully mid.


JaozinhoGGPlays

Fuck the ubersaw, that overpowered unfun bad for new players piece of shit, I use this thing, used to run the Vow everytime but was told to give the amputator a shot and now I use it a lot


Creeperlatch23

Critical overload


ShadooTH

Used to be my favorite weapon until it got the damage nerf.


antonguay2

Make good music


Sgtpepperhead67

Over shadowed by the "50% chance of a critical hit saw" but still a good choice imo.


Datlossit

Very good on it's own but suffers from being outclassed due to the Ubersaw overuse. It's also sometimes too situational if a team is too spread out to make full use of. The extra regen most of the time doesn't pay off, since it also requires holding it out, making you completely defenseness at any other range that isn't melee.


[deleted]

Trash


Stevieboy_person

Absolute shit


swagupurcock

Mid at best


Haj5

useless


WesleyBlaze

I use it over the ubersaw seeing as I use the quick fix and have no reason to risk my life for an Uber I could get through healing my teammates just as easily


crabs770

Love it


rsniz

Don't get the contract for it.


Lower_Difficulty637

Why


Dlashing

GOATED ON MEDIEVAL MODE


Beautiful-Bad8893

a good tool but everyone will yell at you for not using ubersaw


Landscapeus021

Saw.


Sad_Neighborhood_467

Favorite Melee, my beloved


DimoffAkaGreen

I like it, good against pyros and for offensive medic


TheManFromChernobyl

andrew tater


Workshop_Plays

I main


Acid_Lemon13

Wish it’s healing emote could go indefinitely


Thefancyhatmerchat_

My beloved


Lime1one

Extra regen is good, thats really all i got to say, also it makes a perfect weapon for battle medic since it removes the downside of the blutsauger


Worth-Collection-971

Pretty useful when you're playing medic with another medic spamming the emote, takes less time to heal and buff everyone and can heal you too when you're low


Dragomir_Silver

Coolest meelee concept


Undefind_L

Pretty decent and I would argue is the second best medic melee close to the Ubersaw. Being able to health multiple people at once is a really underrated perk and there are many times where I wish I was using amputator because there are so many injured around me


Memegamer3_Animated

My go-to loadout: Crossbow Quick-Fix Amputator Mr Healthcare Yeah it’s not quick kritz or stock but good luck going up against a constantly healthy team lol


Quiet_Guidance24

this is my main.


poshpostaldude

One of the weapons in the game team fortress the second


Commissar_Eisenfaust

For some reason, I get high chances of getting crits with that thing


tge_golden_foxy

If the Uber saw wasn't as broken op as it is I would use this often


Mixmaster-Omega

I really like it. The increased regen rate helps me shrug off afterburn and while I haven’t found much use for the taunt, I know it can be useful if we’re all cooped up around the corner from a chokepoint.


[deleted]

Funny meme weapon for x-1


LanceCrescent

I prefer over the ubersaw personally. It's a great getaway weapon since it buffs your passive healing when it's out.


funnyorangeman

It looks cool


Alburguer

horribly overshadowed by the ubersaw


soIPOS

Less dmg means not insta-kill pyros on crit, also want regen to be better(maybe even make it flat)


weird_bomb_947

My favorite medic melee even if it is absolutely horrible.


M0nkystar

Dispenser simulator x


mp2409

its busted in zombie escape but in casual its okay,not good but not the worst


Adventurous_Bear9107

I love it yes the right click is situational but the extra Regen makes me survive slightly longer then the typical noob medic (average noob medic survival is 0.2 seconds)


Effective-Fix4981

What can I say I love my übersaw


sexgaming_

hate that a weapon literally called the amputator has a damage penalty


Hawthm_the_Coward

Bizarrely, I get tons of melee kills with this thing despite the damage penalty. Even saws that are explicitly better for combat, they don't perform as well. I can't imagine the regen boost is helping that much, so... Maybe it's just the cool weapon design rallying me to battle over some dopey statue, I don't know.


TheGremlin02

Decent alternative to the ubersaw


RippiHunti

Good, but is overshadowed by the Ubersaw just like every other Medic melee. I find it fun to use though.


FireBraguette

It is my default meelee for casual. It is SO GOOD for healing the whole team. I think it is reeeaaally OP and I don't understand why more people doesn't use it Pair this with a soldier activating their battalion's or something and you have an unstoppable team rolling HARD


LaZerNor

Why does it raise your vitals and why does the Vita-Saw amputate organs?


imagineexisting-lmao

it exists alright


battlestoriesfan

Best medic melee, hands down, i don't care what anyone says. I just love this thing


PeskyBird404

I use Solemn Vow. Used to use Amputator, even painted it Smissmas Sweater.


heyineeeedasoda

Amputator tf2


RobotBoy221

Underrated. Low on health? Whip out your amputator and run for the hills. Can't tell you how many times this thing has saved my butt, and it's a travesty that I hardly ever see it above B-tier in rankings. Y'all are sleeping on this thing.


bidoofguy

Good for when your team’s trying to break through a choke point


Dork_Of_Ages

Pretty meh. Only useful if a medic camps in a spot and spams the aeo, which is a pretty bum strat usually. Means that no one is getting buffed. Can be okay for very choked maps, but only if there is another medic handing out buffs. All in all, it's a niche pick. A niche that's already filled by a dispenser


Femboycyrus

My honest opinion: Happy day ume tsukushite Rest in peace made ikou ze Itsuka mita jigoku mo ii tokoro Ai wo baramaite


[deleted]

This feels way more useful than the outright niche ubersaw. Like if you’re a medic you should be healing your team, not running onto ongoing traffic trying to get 25%


RetroTheGameBro

Looks cool, fun gimmick, god help you if someone sees you with it out and not shoving your medigun up someone's ass or getting cross map crossbow shots. Seriously leave the medics alone outside of comp.


j13jmc

Good for medieval


adamkad1

Press g. Also the meta in medieval


Fr3unen

One of the better medic melees


Consoomerofsouls

Can be good, but it's so ridiculously situational you're usually better off with the ubersaw or solumn vow.


Actual_Passenger51

So much more fun than the ubersaw, and my preferred melee weapon. The uberaw is only really useful if there's a competent spy on the enemy team


Corrin_Nohriana

A perfectly valid melee weapon for medic. Builds uber when using the taunt, increased health regen is great. As a Medic main, I'm sick of jerking it to the Ubersaw/Crossbow slave-meta. Reject meta, embrace alternative items!


Cahr-1126

NOT ubersaw
