The Heavy on his little companion

The Pocket Medic is a community-created miscellaneous item for the Soldier and Heavy. It is a toy doll with a resemblance of the Medic, placed in a pocket stitched to the Soldier's fatigues and the Heavy's vest.

The Pocket Medic differs in appearance based on the class equipping it. If it is equipped by the Soldier, both the doll and the pocket is bright and team-colored, whereas for the Heavy, the doll is team-colored but has a darker tone to it. The pocket is not team-colored and has a dark color by default.

When players equipped with the Pocket Medic kill an enemy unassisted by another player, everyone in Pyroland will see in the killfeed that Pocket Medic gets the kill and the player wearing the misc gets the assist.

Trivia

  • "Pocket Medic" is a term coined by the community to refer to a Medic who exclusively heals one patient, never taking his heal beam off him. A Medic may tend to stick to a Heavy or Soldier due to their high health and damage output.
