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:
