Editing Medic (Highlander) (section)

=== Melee weapons ===
* '''Übersaw''' - Run by most competitive Medics, the Übersaw grants the Medic an ability to add 25% to the Über percentage by hitting an enemy player. This ability often grants the Medic an escape possibility, if he succeeds in hitting the chasing enemy and getting the Über that way. The Ubersaw is rarely used to extend Ubers (switching off the Medigun to melee, landing a hit and switching back) due to the risk of dropping your pocket and risking your own death.
* '''Amputator''' - Rarely used;  It enables a healing area effect, which allows to keep multiple teammates alive; it leaves the Medic very exposed though, as it requires for him to taunt. This weapon also boosts the Medic's passive health regeneration (1 hp/s if you are actively holding it, ramping up with time to 3 hp/s), but this is not considered worth sacrificing the Ubersaw for. The Amputator also builds Uber while taunting, but much slower than with the Mediguns.
* '''Solemn Vow''' - This weapon essentially gives Medic Spy-vision, meaning that Medic can view the names, health, and Ubercharge percentages of his enemies as a passive benefit (even while the weapon is not active). This can be useful for Medics who want to track the enemy Medic's Ubercharge. However, in high-level play, this weapon becomes less useful, as most Medics are capable of tracking the enemy's Uber mentally. It is much less viable in [[Higlander]] as this function can be performed by the [[Spy]]. The Solemn vow also requires Medics to peek sightlines in order to get a good look at the enemy Medic, which is dangerous, especially if the other team has a competent Sniper. The Solemn Vow can also be used to provide very accurate damage callouts to the rest of them team, and to quickly assess the rough collective health of the opponents.
* '''Vita-Saw''' - The Vita-Saw gives the Medic who uses it up to 60% Uber after death (with 4 melee hits), at the cost of ten hp. Most of the time, this is considered not worth the base health reduction since the weapon requires you to land hits with your melee, have Uber built, and then die to get the benefit.
