Valve Reveals Final Team Fortress 2 Medic Weapons

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.

The Ubersaw seems... overpowered. Tyrian is going to kick our butts.

And yes, the Saw is already overpowered, it's going to get worse.

Sadly, all the first people to get these weapons will be little kids who play constantly, and they will rock everyone else... then giggle in their little high-pitched voices.

I enjoy this kind of stuff, but I will never finish all of the achievements for any class, and so I will be at a disadvantage. This happens in all games that have unlocks... I refuse to spend all of my time just focusing on getting unlocks, and so then everyone has more effective weapons than me, and I get annoyed and quit the game............................. I hope not to do that with TF2, but that happened with both Rainbow Six Vegas and CoD 4. ROAR!

Hopefully there will be an option to run a no-unlock server without it being considered a "custom" server. TF2 Base maybe? I'm not a huge fan of unlockables either.

all the real unlockables in cod4 (weapons and perks) are all level based, you don't have to do anything special besides play the game...even only playing every once and a while you can still hit level 55 quick.

all the other unlockables weapon addons are mainly skins...does nothing to your gun but, lets others know your "l33t" skilz.
