At a party tonight in downtown San Francisco Valve released confirmation on the new weapons that will be available to the Medic class in Team Fortress 2 on Orange Box. They allowed the guests to get some practicing done on these new weapons when the floor was opened up, pitting guests against each other equipped with the new Medic arsenal.
In addition to the currently known critical hit increasing gun "The Critzcrieg", the remaining two unlockable medic weapons were also shown. Dubbed "The Blutsaugher" and "The Ubersaw" (nice names right?), they will serve as replacements, not additions, for the medic's standard syringe and bonesaw respectively. To use these weapons the player must first unlock a preset percentage of the new achievements before being able to equip them through a loadout menu.
Below is Valve's official descriptions for these new weapons.
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.
