Topic: TF2 Medic unlocks revealed

Story

Valve is mixing up TF2 a bit and adding new unlockable weapons for the different classes. Medic is first and will be available in the next update (along with the new maps and junk). To unlock the weapons you need to earn achievements.

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.

Probably the most useful for the medic. The hardest part of being a medic is keeping yourself alive. Teammates will grab the health right in front of you, ignoring the fact that if you took it and were healed, you could then easily heal that teammate yourself. Medics do have health regen, but its very slow and doesn't help much. But now with this weapon, you can damage the enemy and heal yourself at the same time! Huzzah!

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.

Tough to say how useful this will be. You'll be spitting out a ton of damage but since you arent invincible you're going to be targeted by everyone. Guess its cool for variety.

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.

Useful if you're good at melee I suppose.

I wonder how many you can use at a time? Like, I dont see any reason not to use the upgraded needle gun or bonesaw if you can take both. The medigun upgrade you'll want to make a decision depending on what you want to do...uber or crit.
