The Blutsaugher
For players that earn one third of the 36 new medic achievements, they will be given a new syringe gun. Called "The Blutsaugher," this new weapon no longer has the ability to score critical hits against an opponent. Instead it will draw health from enemies each time a syringe hits. Especially useful as a weapon to retreat away from the fight while staying alive.

The Critzcrieg
Once a medic has earned two thirds of the achievements, they will be granted "The Critzcrieg." This new medigun uses its ubercharge not for invulnerability, but to give its recipient 100% chance to fire critical ordinance. Medics and the player they are charging need to be careful though, because as much fun as it is to fire critical rockets as fast as you can, the other team will see what you're up to and try to put a quick stop to your plan.

The Ubersaw
For the determined medic that has earned all 36 of the new achievements, they will find themselves the proud owner of "The Ubersaw," which will take damage done in melee attacks and convert it directly to ubercharge. Four hits with this new weapon will fully charge whatever medigun the medic has equpped.

That bonesaw sounds pretty darn powerful. Not many people will be able to get it though, especially if they keep the 10 million heal points achievement.

Notice how it says the Blutsaugher is lvl5, the Critzcrieg is lvl 8 and the Ubersaw is lvl10? Interesting.

I'm at 35 hours and have just over 1 million. So 350 hours ought to do the trick .

I can't see that achievement being left in. It was mentioned in an interview about a month back.

But then again, whats wrong with a long term goal . The reward you get is powerful after all. I guess its a good way of keeping it limited to the uber-medics.

Awesome, how do you find out your total health healed?

Go here and download a handy little program that opens your TF2 stats file and shows you lots of stuff you didn't know was being recorded.

Here's where I got 10 million heal points from. That was back when the overhealer was still being worked on though so they may well remove that achievement. It will result in lots of stats padding. Mostly from people who never play as medic and will never use the unlocks anyway. *sigh*

Sounds brilliant. I can't wait to try that needlegun, that one sounds like the most fun.

Edit: Wait, what happens when you use the Critzcrieg on the Blutsaugher? Server crash?

I call lies...

Valve stated that one of the unlocks would be a medi-gun that would have no ubercharge but instead would be able to heal people to 2x their normal health...

Your thoughts, insights, and musings on this matter intrigue me

They cancelled that. Didn't work out. Yoda is probably less lazy than me and can find you a link.

It's mentioned at the very bottom of my 2nd link . Cancelled due to what i'm assuming was severe unbalance between the heavy and light classes.

Unlocks are being updated into the game class-by-class. Medic first, no-one knows whats next

Wow weak. I mean this is valve everybody's favorite game company, They could have done better. I mean seriously some of the people in the 'community' had alot better ideas.

1. Blutslaughter. The poison syringe gun was a much much better idea, And I liked the suggestion to only make it poison people when it critted.

2. The Critzcrieg. I like except we all know who is going to get the crits dont we?

3. The Ubersaw. Oh god no! Bonesaw is powerful enough as is, I ubered a fellow medic in the enemy base and he killed 10 people, Half of the kills were crits against pyro's and demo's. Now this will take combat medic to a whole new level. I can see it now half a team of medics with their bonesaws out trying to get the uber.

oh fuck, David P. is actually right for a change. They're going to have to disable the ubersaw's ability if the medic is ubered otherwise two medics could stay ubered for a very long time. One medic ubers the another, he then kills some people with his bonesaw and thus gets an uber himself, letting him uber the other medic and the whole thing repeats itself again and again.
