Guide to TF2 Medic Achievements, Part 2


Welcome, Herr Doktor. No doubt you have at least sampled the waters of the new TF2 update, resplendent in it's new content. However, you are not concerned over the new Gold Rush map, or the new Payload gametype. No, you are most likely aiming to obtain your überweapons: the Blütsauger, Kritzkrieg, and Übersaw. Unfortunately, you have to complete the many new medic achievements, ranging from the incredibly hard to the very simple. Thankfully for you, Herr Doktor, we have compiled a guide to acquiring those achievements in the easiest way possible. We have already given you the first part of our guide, so here is the second. Keep this in mind the next time we proclaim our love for you.


Ubi Concordia, Ibi Victoria

Assist in killing five enemies on an enemy control point in a single life

This can be easy or hard, depending on the team you are playing on, the map you are playing on, and the current team's strategy. This is extremely easy to do if you are playing on the defensive team on certain maps, or if your team is currently on the defensive. Attach to a heavy, soldier, pyro, or demoman, and assist them in killing enemies trying to take the point. All you have to do is stay alive until 5 are killed, and you will have the achievement. If you are attacking, this is a little more difficult, but still possible. Attach to one of the aforementioned offensive classes, and start capturing. Let an enemy player get on the point to block the capture, and kill them. Do this 5 times (either on the same point or multiple points), and you'll be set.

For farming this, hop into a control point map with at least 4-5 players on the enemy team, and one demoman on your team. Capture a point, and have the demoman plant stickies on it. Get the enemies to run on the point, heal the demoman, and have him detonate. Instant achievement.

Tip: Only you have to survive. If your benefactor dies, don't worry. just find another. And beat yourself up for letting a comrade die. You're a doctor!

Medical Breakthrough

Assist in destroying five enemy Engineer buildings with a single Übercharge on a Demoman

This one is of middling difficulty, no matter whether you are attacking or defending. Make sure to charge your über before putting yourself in danger. Then attach to a demoman, and run at an entrenched enemy position. For a defending team, this will usually be a fair bit away from the front line, but close enough to cut down on travel time. For the attacking team, it should be near whatever objective you must capture. Sticky the area and detonate. You may have to hit multiple sentries/dispensers/teleporters with the same über, so move quickly.

To farm this achievement, get two engineers on the opposite team, and a demoman on your team. Have the two engineers build all of their deployables except for their sentries. Make sure you have your über charged, have the demoman plant the stickies, trigger the über, and detonate. Instant achievement.

Tip: You must be the one who gets the assist points. If someone else is getting them, you won't get the achievement. Also, this is easiest to do on deployables which aren't sentries.

Consultation

Assist a fellow Medic in killing five enemies in a single life


This one can be hard if your buddy isn't good at playing the combat medic, which is fairly common. Here's the easiest way to do it, though. Attach yourself to a medic, and have both of you charge your übers. Once you have your über, have your attached medic pull out a bonesaw or syringe gun and go after some enemies. If you run across a particularly bad enemy (heavy, soldier) then use the über. You'll still get credit for the kills, even while in über. Just remember that you don't have to über to get the achievement.

To farm, attach to a medic, and have the opposing team choose five scouts. Have your attached medic bonesaw them to kingdom come. Simple and effective.

Tip: Once again, only the person getting assist points gets credit for this achievement, so it might be wise to only have one medic per attacker.

Surgical Prep

Have an Ubercharge ready before the set up phase ends


This one is easy or hard, depending on the map. With the new update that increases the amount of über gained while charging it during set-up, it's a fairly easy achievement to get on most default servers. Just attach yourself to a teammate and continue to heal him. Make sure nobody else is healing your target, though, because it will slow down your charge and can prevent you from getting the achievement Easiest in conjunction with House Call.

You can't farm this, as it takes place before the match starts. Just go for it normally.

Tip: You can charge faster by having your target hurt himself. This is only a marginal increase in charging, but any increase is better than none.

House Call

Join a game that one of your friends is in and then deploy an ÜberCharge on him

This one doesn't even require farming. It's best to do normally. Join a friend's game through the friends tab on the Steam community bar. Once you are in-game, make sure to join your friend's team. Be sure that you can get über before the round ends, other you'll have to reconnect through the friends tab. After you get your charge, run to your friend, heal, and über. The achievement should pop up right away. No need to farm this achievement.

Tip: This achievement is best gotten while trying to get the Family Practice achievement, as this über also counts towards family practice.

Family Practice

Übercharge ten of your steam community friends


Hopefully you are lucky enough to have ten real-life friends who play TF2! If you aren't this lucky, though, just add cool people on your favorite server to your friends list. Continue to play, and über them when you get the chance. You will eventually get this achievement, although maybe not immediately.

To farm this, just add everybody in the server you are in to your friends list. Ask them to accept, and then über them each in turn. You'll get it lickity split. Don't try outside of farming servers, though, as you'll probably piss people off with your friending spam.

Tip: They have to be 10 different friends. You can't über the same friend 10 times.
