Overhealer

From TF2 Wiki

Information

The Overhealer refers to a scrapped Medic unlock that would have been available to Medics after attaining a certain number of achievements. The eventual replacement for the Overhealer was the Kritzkrieg weapon.

Unlike the Medigun, which temporarily boosts a player's health to 150% of their maximum, the Overhealer will permanently boost a player's health to 200% of their maximum. The tradeoff is that the Overhealer's ÜberCharge will fill very slowly—or possibly not at all.

The following quote is taken from a news article entitled "Revealed! Valve's major TF2 changes" at Computerandvideogames.com[1]:

"The first Medic unlock, for example, is called the Overhealer. Instead of temporarily buffing people's health to 50 percent above their normal maximum, it permanently boosts them to double their standard health. The downside is that it'll be dramatically worse at building ÜberCharge - in fact, Valve are toying with not letting it Uber at all."

Eventually, Valve shelved their plans for the overhealer due to balancing issues in the game.
