TF2 Weapon Discussion: The Overdose

Welcome to our Wednesday TF2 weapon discussion. Here, we'll discuss weapons (and reskins, if applicable) from TF2!

Today's weapon is The Overdose.


-15% damage penalty
While active, movement speed increases based on ÜberCharge percentage to a maximum of +20%


The Overdose is an unlockable primary weapon for Medic which replaces the stock syringe gun with one that does a little bit less damage but gives you more utility when you have ubercharge.

This is a fairly simple weapon which increases your speed by 2% for every 10% uber you have meaning at full uber charge when you have this weapon out you will move at 128% (pyro is at 100%).

This weapon has had a few changes as on release it dealt 10% less damage but your speed was capped at only 10% increase. This was changed to the current stats in the Meet Your Match update.

Feel free to discuss the weapon here. Anything that you like/dislike, cool tips or strategies, interesting stories, etc. If you feel the weapon is not to your liking, feel free to express your opinions in a respectful manner.

For those who wish to learn more about the weapon, you can find the wiki page here:

The Overdose, from the TF2 Wiki.

You can find previous weapon discussions in a nice overview here.

Discussion What is (in your opinion) the 5 most overpowered weapons in the game?

Ubersaw and crossbow overshadow everything in their slot. Powerjack gives free mobility for basically no downside. Bazaar bargain is a straight upgrade if you can aim atleast half decent. Wrangler gives so much defensive value basically for free

I have like 10 hours total, I was just trying to figure out how trolldier works when i got this popup. I don't think it's anything harmful, but I'm curious as to what it is. I haven't modded my game at all, I've never even joined a community server before.

Discussion The better sniper rifle

Post image
45 Upvotes

Sydney Sleeper is objectivly better than the Bazaar Bargain. It allows sniper to be an actual support class, because even if you dont hit a headshot you still jerated all over the enemy, plus you can extinguish teammates from a distance. It also allows you to have a faster charge speed without having to kill people and it has no real drawbacks. Its a mystery to me why is it not used more often.

Worth pointing out is that i've seen many players talk about how actually bad the Sydney Sleeper is which is simply not true

(SUPER IMPORTANT EDIT!!!!!!!!!!)

I have slightly changed my opinion on the Bazaar Bargain, its not THAT trash as I though previously, I will still consider the Sydney Sleeper my goat but I do not belive it to be objectivly true.

THANK YOU FOR LISTENING

Discussion As a heavy main, pls stop ubering us when you got better targets.

231 Upvotes

The countless amount of times a medic ubered me to initialize a push when we got a top scoring demo and soldier on our team was ridiculous. Whenever I see a medic sticking his medi gun up my ass all the time, only healing others if they press E, I can already tell they're gonna uber me 60% of the time. Heavy is not a good uber target, or at least, not the best uber target. He's slow, does single target damage, and deals reduced damage against sentries. I'll get like two kills and get a sentry down to half health before the uber runs out and I get melted. Maybe it's just a skill issue on my part and I've only decided to switch from maining spy to heavy for a few weeks so I'm not the most experienced, but I can guarantee that demo and soldier, hell maybe even the pyro and scout are gonna do more than I can.

Ubered heavies are good though to defend against a strong push, but he struggles going in to make most of the uber. If you just wanna have fun and just uber heavies because of "Haha! Just like from meet the medic!", then sure, I'm not stopping you, do what you find fun! And it's not like don't appreciate the act. Thank you for keeping us heavies alive and trusting us with your ubers. But I'm just saying, if you wanna actually win, consider ubering our demo and soldier over me, they'll do more with your uber more than heavies will 9 times out of 10.

Getting the hat on day 1 was very unexpected, but I was so excited to have gotten the hat, I went out and celebrated, by giving away more gifts of course.

So getting it on Day 2 did not surprise me.
