“ | If you already haven't noticed... The Private Practice isn't working as advertised (Uber gain on assist & mini-crit damage instead of full crits), despite doing so in testing the previous week. Right now, it's basically a full Kritzkrieg with a defensive buff slapped on it - not exactly what i was looking for. So, since its still the first day, I will be swapping out the Private Practice for another properly functioning Medigun, the Cauterizer, starting tomorrow morning (Aprox 10AM EST). Hope you people don't mind, as it still serves a similar function as a support oriented Ubercharge.

The Cauterizer is a secondary weapon for the Medic. It is a black Kritzkrieg with a white question mark on it. The Cauterizer was a February 2012 Weapon of the Month.
This Cauterizer's Übercharge makes all damage dealt by your patient cause Bleeding and Jarate for 8 seconds, however, it does not make you or your patient invulnerable. This medigun also has a 20% faster heal and Übercharge rate, but has less max overheal and makes you more weak to fire damage.
