It's not really "outside the box" so much as it is "inside another character's box." It's basically trying to turn the Medic into the Heavy Weapons Guy. I mean, if you want to give the Medic an offensive weapon, why not something fitting? Like a gun that shoots a bolt of lightning at people, or a charged particle cannon, or even a gun that shoots capsules that stab enemies and make them bleed to death? Make it a weapon for the Medic, you know, rather than a weapon for the Heavy that you gave to the Medic.

im thinking outside the box

Why give Medic a minigun? I mean, he's not the Heavy. I don't have a problem with the Medic getting an offensive weapon, but try to stick a little more to character and making his weapons fitting his character.

the saying "attack is the best defense"

Defense is not for attacking. If you can't have a battle Medic, you can't have a Demoknight. Plain and simple.

Silver just go play another game if you want medic to be dps; oh wait that happens in ZERO fps games for good reason.

Last time I checked, defense isn't about DPS. That's offense's job.

Your completely changing the role of the class, tell me. Does a melee weapon change the role of the demoman? Oh your right either way he is a damage dealer. It changes how the class is played not the role. This changes the role of the class and how it plays entirely from a class that is supposed to keep people alive to a damage dealer. Healers unless you are playing at more competetive levels are already not common to come by and you think this will make that any better? Sure they may be a medic on your team but they are using this.

Also it doesn't fit the medic as a character at all. Look at all his weapons so far, if you see a pattern good job. If the pattern was they are all medicinal theme, great job you passed.

This weapon should not be added.

A demoman's job is to blow shit up. Should they remove the Demoknight weapons?

is not being stupid, is thinking outside the box

Sorry, it doesn't really fit at all. In aethstetic, character, or gameplay. A medic's job is to be the medic it is in the name. Don't be stupid.

It's a fucking minigun. You think a heal beam's gonna come frome that?

skin for this weapon?

First of all, it's Silver. Second of all, if Medics don't get to attack, Demomen don't get to attack. Remove the Demokinght weapons.

Solar your argument is worthless here; go back to twitter.

Hi. If you'd like some tips on how to get better feel free to add me!

@ol' joe you racist

NO; medics heal they don't waste our time dying over and over shootin.

Maybe this could have an area of healing similar to the Banners, with the UberCharge giving a Crit Boost or Speed Boost? Just some ideas for stats.

I think all classes should be able to go combat mode if they want to, as long as they still fulfill their role. Heavies and Demos can defend by killing. Snipers and Medics can support by killing.

well, i never said heavies can go fat scout. i didn't even remember about fat scouts until now.

More like classicist or elitist

@Rd Ctrlr Oh, so Heavies can go Fat Scout, but you can't have Battle Medics? You racist.

is my medic using a machinegun?

badbadbadbadbadbad THIS IS BAD

No no no no no NO you know how many new medics will just try to get kills and not help the team ? Medic is a MEDIC he does not need a minigun he needs to be the person helping in a fight be healing the team and maybe fireing a cross bolt off he doesn't need to be a frag class

This is pretty awesome,could a stat clock be attached to this?Also maybe a strangifier?
Again this is the coolest thing I have ever seen for medic!Keep up the good work dude!

Redefining the Medic.

why dont you make a stats forum?

Onwe thing to say, every kill filled up the uber charge and there was no medi-gun

It's like a shitty version of the medic minigun

I'm guessing this will be a sidegrade? It's an interesting concept, and if it is an alternate primary, then it would benifit from have a dispenser like characteristic, except without dispensing ammo. Maybe it could even start out with less AoE healing, but at a certain amount of kills or assists, the healing is a bit more than the dispenser.

Yeah, sorry. Jukebox made a way better one.

Will it shoot needles out of it? It would certainly not have a lot of ammo, maybe like 75 ammo or so or maybe small packages to change (50 ammo, 3 times in reserve until you have to reload the whole thing). If it doesn't contain syringes then I suggest you change the bullets into them as it's the running 1st weapon theme for the Medic.

I agree on the bullet belt being a horrible colour, it needs to be bronze or brass like or better yet, team coloured creamy (but that might be hard to make). Maybe with a touch of dark to it too like Heavy's bullets. Or if there's syringes then it should be team coloured (red and blue) and white.

Interesting concept even if killing isn't what the Medic does best.

I can imagine it working like, primary heal beam is replaced by healing ointment capsule bullet projectile things, secondary expends charge to fire normal bullets. Or something similar to that. The idea being it would attract players to the class who usually avoid it because they feel like medic is the class you pick because someone has to do the job but everyone else was like "NOT IT" and you're clearly losing due to that, by rewarding time spent healing with time using a decently strong weapon.

`Need more detail work put in, and some that that separates it from the other like uniqueness 'like for example the barrel could have something different'"
if you want my help just add me on steam

Brass Orange, like the casings on the Heavy's ammo chest belt

what other color?

The ammo-belt looks horrible, at least make it a different color than neon yellow. Sorry, just being honest here.

Weird

Anyone else have Déjà Vu? I thought yesterday I told someone that giving medic a minigun is a stupid idea.

So instead of healing people, medic could use a mini gun ? OH MY GAWD IT'S LIKE A WEAKER BUT FASTER HEAVY THAT COULD REGEN HIMSELF

Wait, so how would this work? Cool concept, but I've got no idea if it's a medigun or an actual gun.

alternately, make this for the Heavy as a primary.

So you want to combat medic? How about no.

You need to give it some hard edges and a specular map, bump up that phong as well, its barely noticable

You should try using sharp edges to get a better smoothing

Huh, 2 mediguns? T i m e p a r a d o x
Im not complaining, more medi-miniguns are fine with me!

Two Minigun Mediguns and less than a week apart? WHAT IS HAPPENING HERE?
