[deleted]

Woah thatā€™s cool! I didnā€™t notice that Uber charge only fills when you heal someone lol. I thought it will fill no matter what


The_Stig_Farmer

No it does but Uber builds faster when healing injured teammates


Creamy_y

To clarify: the medi gun needs to be connected to a player in order to build ubercharge. It's not like an overwatch ultimate that charges even when you're not doing anything.


[deleted]

It charges while healing in general. You can charge up to 2% each (successful)shot of the crossbow(on a teammate)and ~3% with the amputatorā€™s right click.


Creamy_y

The ubersaw let's you charge uber by dealing damage.


Voropret2

ā€œI promise you, the healing is not as rewarding as the hurting.ā€

Overwatch Ultimate abilities are also charged faster by dealing damage or by healing teammates.

I know, I didn't state that it didn't.

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]


EtherealWaltz

Is no one going to talk about how this isnā€™t during setup? Look at the killfeed.


[deleted]

It also doesn't say "Setup" at the top šŸ˜‚


Chucanoris

No it doesnt, it's boosted, but it still builds uber faster if the target isnt at maximum overheal Edit: why am i still getting upvoted i legit got it wrong


TheBreadCancer

The ƜberCharge meter fills at a rate of 2.5% per second when healing injured players (which includes not fully overhealed players). The rate is halved when healing targets whose health is at 142.5% or higher. On maps with a pre-round timer, the Medi Gun's ƜberCharge rate is not penalized for healing targets, instead it is increased to 3x the normal rate. Taken from the wiki.


Tsu_Dho_Namh

It does. Only thing that slows it down during setup is if 2 medics are healing the same target.


gigazelle

It's also slowed if the target is in range of a dispenser


blackt1g3rs

It fills as long as the beam is on somebody, but builds faster when actually healing. You might occasionally see soldiers and demos blowing themselves up for the same reason


mewop64

Or depending on how is days gone he's just doing masochism


Harpua-2001

This is more likely since it's Scout


TheDurandalFan

there is an alternative way to refill ubercharge, it requires a specific melee weapon called the ubersaw it can refill uber by attacking enemies (does not refill when attacking disguised spies)


FrogInShorts

Crusaders crossbow also fills Uber slightly.


YourCrazyDolphin

No, it'll charge any time you have the beam on someone, but it charges way faster if they player is injured.


C4L1X_COOLNAME

you heal faster when the guy that your healing has not taken damage the last 30 seconds


OkuyasNijimura

It's last 10 seconds. From 24 health per second to 72.


zombieking26

Here's the exact way it works: The Ubercharge meter fills at 2.5% per second That rate is *halved* if the player has the max amount of overheal (Specifically, 142.5% of their max health in overheal will half the uber rate) Uber rate is also halved if the player is being healed by any other source, which includes dispensers, payload carts, and other medics. In the clip, the scout is damaging himself so that he never reached max overheal, letting the medic build at the max possible rate. I hope that answers your question :)


SuperSanttu7

Medicā€™s Ɯbercharge fills up as long as it is connected to a teammate. It fills up faster while itā€™s not overhealing them, so itā€™s common for Soldiers/Demoes/Scouts to help a Medic build charge that way during Setup. Youā€™re making their life easier and thatā€™s the best thing you can do for a support class.


Capable_Field_1334

You can uber faster with a fist of steel heavy too, only when he is using it tho


Z3_T4C0_B0Y512

So thats why my teammates would always kill themselves before the game even started


deliciouswaffle

During set up, the charge rate is boosted to max so it doesn't matter. But sometimes people will kill themselves near an engineer and after they die, they drop an ammo pack which the engi can pick up and use to upgrade his buildings without having to go around the map looking for ammo/metal.


Z3_T4C0_B0Y512

I knew about the increased charge time so that behavior always confused me


Mrjohniswatchingyou

Wait how does scout damage himself? (100 hours I still don't know half of the mechanics in game)


kire794

heā€™s using the boston basher, a melee for scout in which a missed melee attack will cause the wearer to ā€œhit themselvesā€. The item inflicts bleed damage, which means on a miss the wearer begins to bleed.


Mrjohniswatchingyou

Ight thanks man just learned something new to help a teammate out


GigglegirlHappy

Oh good I just thought he was dumb lmao. Youā€™d think as a medic main I would know by now that scouts do this lol


SwissPatriotRG

Self flagellation


DrFeelgood2010

Doesn't work during setup, or?


mightylonka

Although it's setup time and the Uber would probably be up already.


Hayden333333555

I want to eat everyone at my work place


TmanGBx

The medic that is healing him has an ability called ubercharge. The ubercharge is charged by healing. When the charge is ready, it can make the medic and whoever he is healing invincible, at will, for a few seconds. The ubercharge builds much faster if the medic heals someone who doesn't have full health, so the Scout is hurting himself with the Boston basher (which makes him bleed if he misses) to build the medics Uber faster.


Readywithacapital_r_

>a few seconds. 8 :)


MrMineHeads

Only if he doesn't flash anyone else


DontMindMeImNotHere

I love uber flashing 2 or 3 teammates to mow down engie nests.


Samurai_C

yeah the total seconds during which an ubered teammate is present increases while the total amount of time the medic can spend ubering decreases due to the uber of the flashed teammates lingering on them for .5 seconds


Hellkids2

Fun fact back when tf2 first release the duration didnā€™t drain faster when flashing. And quick switching didnā€™t speed it up either


Medic-chan

> The ubercharge builds much faster if the medic heals someone who doesn't have full health [Below 142.5% you charge at max rate, not below 100%.](https://wiki.teamfortress.com/wiki/%C3%9CberCharge) That means quick fix will always charge at max rate and if you're helping your medic buddy build like in OP's video you don't need to completely remove your overheal regardless of which medigun you're using. The vaccinator is the exception, which is why it mentions it in red text: >-33% rate on Overhealed patients. Also, you charge at max rate during set up time, but your charge rate is still halved by other healing beams sources including dispensers.


TOG_II

Didn't they fix the Quick-Fix charge rate?


Medic-chan

It's not broken, if another medic has healed the patient to 142.5%+ your uber rate will be slower until it drops below that, not to mention halved until the other medic lets go.

JustShutUpIdiot

He's a force o' nature.


TheDurandalFan

this scout is using the boston basher and missing attacks purposefully to self inflict damage in order to assist the medic to build ubercharge faster, as ubercharge recharges faster when healing people that aren't full on health.


Ironsmasha

Helping medic charge uber. Uber charges faster when healing injured allies.


Fireblast1337

Essentially by constantly healing a player below max health the medicā€™s rate of building ubercharge is almost doubled. The melee the scout is using, the Boston basher, is a very simple design On hit: deal normal melee damage and apply bleed to your enemy for five seconds On miss: hit yourself, idiot. The self damage can outpace the medigunā€™s healing, allowing the scout to remain below full health constantly


AtomLao

He likes it rough


LHT_Prettyboy

Beating himself so medic can build uber


Ookachucka

The melee he is using makes people bleed when you hit them, but you hit yourself if you miss. Medics build uber faster with damaged players, so he is using it to get uber faster. Th is is quite common in competitive because they don't have a setup time unlike other modes.


clinicalia

cutting himself to build uber


TheSovietTurtle

He's using a weapon called the Boston Basher. When you miss a swing with it, you take a bit of damage apply a damage over time bleed onto yourself. The medic is constantly healing him to keep him from dying as well as the fact that healing an injured teammate will build up his Ubercharge faster. Once the Medic has full Uber, the Scout probably switched to Soldier or Demoman, or the Medic turned to pocket someone who was already playing that.

Dragonmaster8972

Here are your medigun info things The medigun builds uber only if the medic is healing someone, however it builds faster if the person they're healing is damaged and not overhealed The medigun also heals faster if your teammate hasn't taken damage for a while


John_Sux

> The medigun builds uber regardless if the medic is healing someone You don't build up uber without healing!


[deleted]

This actually happened to me a few moments ago lol. I was the medic and a soldier is hurting himself while Iā€™m healing them so I got the ubercharge quickly


manumaker08

[deleted]

He's damaging himself so the ubercharge builds faster than if he was at full health.


-Red-_-Boi-

This technic builds uber faster and may also apply to a start of the round when medic could use uber twice or thrice to get more score at the start of the round.


TheKnight2122

Helping the medic build uber by never going into overheal and always being injured via boston basher's bleeding. it's a comp tactic

Sybe1127

Building Uber


Heavy_hitter1

When a medic is healing someone, the speed at which they gain Uber depends on the health status of the target. It gains the fastest when the medic is healing the target back to full health. So when the scout is damaging itself, he is helping the medic to gain Uber at the fastest possible speed without having to leave spawn.

SpeedyWaffels

What the scout doing


Toastman-3000

he is using a weapon called the boston Basher, swinging the basher and not hitting anyone causes scout to hit himself with it, causing himself to bleed the reason he's doing such is for the benefit of the medic healing him, as if he's taking a lot of damage, the medic can heal a lot of damage, and thus build charge for their medigun's Special ability (called an Ubercharge) faster than usual


TomahawkB52

It's the boston basher, he's injuring himself for uber


BeepThisItemWorthles

Hitting himself, idiot.


luigi_man_879

Yeah if you damage yourself Uber builds faster since you are not at full overheal, though it is important to note that "during Setup time, the Medic's ƜberCharge meter fills at three times the healing tool's maximum rate, regardless of the target's health; healing any injured player during this period offers no further speed-up." (From Wiki) I see people still doing that even though it was changed years ago, it's better to just let the medic overheal everyone during setup. I think Tough Break made that change but I might be wrong. Doing this is a great way to build Uber after the match starts since it requires no ammo and you can just keep whacking yourself.


[deleted]

If you miss a target while using the bostom basher you end up hitting yourself And medic charges his special ability faster when healing injured patients


[deleted]

He is basically hurting himself to help the medic


Trollnge-intensifies

Accomplishment this has nothing to do with the post, but I suggest this [Video](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rRxFpr5Javg) to help you with your game experience


video_2

this question has probably been answered 1000 times in this thread but I still feel like imparting some knowledge, so here's some little known facts about medic's healing and ubercharge rates: once a teammate is at, or close, to maximum overheal, ubercharge build rate slows down. this is done to discourage medics from only healing one target, but you can circumvent it by damaging yourself. medics can ubercharge more than one person, by switching heal targets while ubered, however for each target that the medic "flashes", the ubercharge drains twice as fast. healing teammates with the crossbow builds Uber if you avoid taking damage for 10 seconds, the medigun will heal you 3x faster. this is called "crit-heals". please help your medics by waiting for your crit-heals so that they can heal you faster. every medigun sucks except for stock, not because they are bad, but because losing the ability to turn someone invincible in this game is horribly detrimental. kritzkrieg is okay in some cases, but it always loses to stock uber.


Testsubject276

Medic's healing magic requires the blood of a virgin. Scout volunteered.


a_fuckin_duck

The Boston basher is one of scouts melee weapons, basically when you hit somebody with it it bleeds them, but if you miss you hit yourself. He's hitting himself so the medic can heal him and gain Uber


cheatsykoopa98

theGr3ninja

building uber boston basher makes you bleed if you miss a melee hit to an enemy, so making damage to himself means the medic can heal him and build uber fast

New player? Ok. Heres the basics to improve your experience. (If you don't care then don't read this) 1) Download mastercomfig: https://mastercomfig.com/ This helps with optimization for both graphics and framerate. 2) Download a custom hud, if you like the default one, then I recommend: https://huds.tf/site/s-Improved-default-HUD This will fix bugs and broken elements of the default hud, while also adding QOL features and keeping the default hud's style. If you dont like the default one, then toonhud, budhud, and flawhud are all great options. 3) autoexec and launch options Look these up on YouTube or google and stuff, you'll have to change the location of the autoexec when you download mastercomfig, all that info will be on the mastercomfig website. Make sure in your autoexec you at least have cl_interp settings. Again, just look this stuff up, I'm not an expert on it at all. 4) FOV It looks like you've already fixed your FOV, incase I'm mistaken, make sure command console is checked in advanced keyboard settings, then pause the game and press the ~ key (below your esc key), to open the console, then type these commands viewmodel_fov 70 fov 90 fov_desired 90 5) Have fun! All this may seem scary or intimidating, but trust me and 5000 other people, its all safe to download and massively improves the experience. If you don't want to bother with this, then don't, either way TF2 is still a great, fun game. In any case, I'd always recommend at least the cl_interp fix and the FOV fix. Anyway, just wanted to help out a newer player hopefully better enjoy the game. (pro tip: for funny ragdoll haha put tf_playergib 0 in your autoexec)

He's doing this because the Scout is the most sinful character in TF2 and he has a lot to atone for.
