TF2 Tactics: Medic Uber/Kritz Charging Time

from: http://www.tf2tactics.com/entry.php?12-Understanding-Medic-Uber-Kritz-Chargin...

When playing medic, most of us just wait for that bar to fill up without paying much attention to how long or how much faster we can build our ubers and kritz. Well, I finally did some tests with some variations.

This video is more informative than instructional, but I hope watching this video creates more effective medics.

Nice informative video :]

There was something else i noticed when played as medic, at beginning of cp or pl, with medigun i just buff up the hp of about everyone on my team, mashing button on many teammates, then when most of them are buffed up, i go charge my medigun on someone and the recharge rate seems to go way faster, i'm not sure if it's cause of something else, so if you got time, can you try to check it up?

hmm lol well thats strange, u know before the gate opens ur medigun charges at a constant rate of 2x speed

Thanks, interesting video. Here's a question: does self harm still work for a faster recharge? I thought they removed this a while back

[christianmalazarte]

yes, the thing they changed was: before the gate opens your uber builds as if your healing an injured person. after the gate opens the uber rate resets to normal

As a medic player, I thank you for the detailed informations!

[christianmalazarte]

thanks! im glad you liked it :)

You said it happened in setup. When you HURT yourself in SETUP, the ubercharge DOESN'T charge faster.

[Neso906]

No... you're wrong. In setup, all the ubercharges charge at a fixed rate. Damaging yourself in setup has no effect.

What about 2x Medics healing an inured player?

i wish this could be a class in school: P.E. is replaced by Team Fortress 2 learning and testing XD

As a scout I help my team medics by hitting myself with the boston basher. It's very helpful to them.

[Tordekar]

@CDiKingsAhoy I'ts probably because when you switch targets, there's a split second you're not healing anyone.

someone help me im new to this game. what happens if you have full uber chargE? you turn red and all but what does it do?

[ryleh8]

Remember guy that the über updates medigun (the queck-fix) builds uber as fast as the Kritzkrieg!

[CombineHgrunt]

Wow I.. honestly have to say I got disappointed,..

Thought i'd see some actual tactics, not the simple charge rate of the Über-bar, which only complete noobs don't know.

what about three medics?

I experienced this on Frontier, where the cart is inside the spawn for Blu team. I couldn't fully charge before the game started because they were all on the cart.

This should either be fixed by the cart won't heal or give ammo before start, or the teammates should just understand that my ÜberCharge doesn't fil fast enough when you stand near a cart or Dispenser meanwhile.
