Blutsauger

From TF2 Wiki

Information

The Blutsauger (meaning "Bloodsucker" or "Vampire" in German) is an unlockable primary weapon for the Medic class and replaces the Syringe gun. It is unlocked after 10 of the medic achievements are completed. It is currently placed as a Level 5 Needle Gun in the Loadout menu. The gun fires low-damage projectiles at a high rate. Whenever a projectile hits an enemy, three health is added to the medic who fired the shot. As compensation, the Blutsauger is unable to fire critical shots. Like the Syringe gun, the Blutsauger's projectiles have a travel time and follow an arced trajectory, so it is necessary to lead a moving target and aim upward to compensate for distance. When this trajectory is taken into account, it is reasonably accurate. It's also useful for spy checks, as any friendly that gives health when shot is a spy.

The Blutsauger can still fire critical shots in Humiliation or when you are UberCharged by a Kritzkrieg. Those are the only times.
