The Beta Quick-Fix is a secondary weapon for the Medic that exists in Team Fortress 2 Beta. It uses the Medi Gun model.
This weapon sports a 40% faster heal and ÜberCharge build rate, but lacks the ability to overheal patients. When the ÜberCharge is deployed, the patient will be healed at triple the healing rate, and both they and the Medic will be immune to effects such as knockback, stun and slow. Additionally, should the Medic train the weapon on a faster ally, they will be able to match their speed for as long as the medicinal beam is connected.
This weapon, with a new model and adjustments to its ÜberCharge build rate, was shipped as the Quick-Fix as part of the Über Update. The Beta Quick-Fix remains in TF2 Beta as a separate weapon with its appearance and stats unaltered.

Healing and function times
Healing and function times | ||
---|---|---|
Healing | ||
Healing (in combat) | 100% | 33,6 / s (100,8 / s) |
Healing (out of combat) | 300% | 100,8 / s (302,4 / s) |
Function times | ||
Effect duration | 8 s | |
Charge fill speed | 3.5% / s (1.75% / s) | |
Maximum charge time | 24 s (48 s) | |
Values are approximate and determined by community testing. |
The healing rate is linearly based upon how long ago the target was last damaged. If the target was damaged less than 10 seconds ago, then they are healed at the normal rate of 33 health per second. From 10 to 15 seconds, this rate increases linearly from 33 up to a maximum of 100 health per second. This mechanic is in place to encourage falling back to heal, as without the boosted healing rate, players often found that fighting, dying, and respawning was quicker than falling back, being healed to full, then re-engaging.[1]
If more than one Medic is healing the target, each Medic's build time is divided by a factor of the number of Medics healing that target. [2]
