All 36 new Medic achievements for Team Fortress 2

As promised in my hands-on of the new Team Fortress 2 content, here are all 36 new achievements for the Medic. To get the new weapons that will be available for the Medic, you have to complete all these achievements. Completing one third of the achievements gets you the Blutsauger, completing two thirds gets you the Critzcrieg and completing all the achievements gets you the Ubersaw.

I'm not that big of a Team Fortress 2 player, so looking at some of the required achievements looks like it'll be extremely hard. You tell me if I'm wrong, but trying to get 50 kills on only Scouts with the Syringe gun sounds like it will take forever. Not to mention some of the other ones like healing 200 teammates after they've called out for a Medic.

Anyway, take a look at the achievements for yourself after the jump and let us know how hard or easy some of these will be. 

First Do No Harm: Play a full round without killing any enemies, and score the highest on a team of 6 or more players.

Quadruple Bypass: Heal a teammate who's taking fire from 4 enemies at once.

Group Health: Work with 2 other Medics to deploy 3 simultaneous Uber-Charges.

Surgical Prep: Have an Uber-Charge ready before the Setup phase ends.

Trauma Queen: Deploy 3 Uber-Charges in less than 5 minutes, and assist in 5 kills during that time.

Double Blind Trial: Deploy an Uber-Charge within 8 seconds of a nearby enemy Medic deploying his.

Play Doctor: In a team with no Medics, be the first person to switch to Medic after a teammate calls for "Medic!", and then heal 500 health.

Triage: Deploy an Uber-Charge on a teammate less than a second before they're hit by a critical explosive.

Preventive Medicine: Block the enemy from capturing a control point with an Uber-Charged teammate.

Consultation: Assist a fellow Medic in killing 5 enemies in a single life.

Does It Hurt When I Do This?: Kill 50 Scouts with your syringe gun.

Peer Review: Kill 50 Medics with your bone saw.

Big Pharma: Assist a Heavy in killing 30 enemies, where neither of you die.

You'll Feel a Little Prick: Assist in killing 4 enemies with a single Uber-Charge on a Scout.

Autoclave: Assist in burning 8 enemies with a single Uber-Charge on a Pyro.

Blast Assist: Assist in exploding 5 enemies with a single Uber-Charge on a Soldier.

Blunt Trauma: Assist in punching out 4 enemies with a single Uber-Charge on a Heavy.

Medical Breakthrough: Assist in destroying 8 enemy Engineer buildings with a single Uber-Charge on a Demoman.

Midwife Crisis: Heal an Engineer as he repairs his Sentrygun while it's under enemy fire.

Ubi concordia, ibi victoria: Assist in killing 5 enemies on an enemy control point, in a single life.

Grand Rounds: Heal 200 teammates after they've called for "Medic!".

Infernal Medicine: Extinguish 100 burning teammates.

Doctor Assisted Homicide: Assist in killing 20 nemeses.

Placebo Effect: Kill 5 enemies in a single life, while having your Uber-Charge ready, but undeployed.

Sawbones: Hit enemies with your bonesaw 10 times in a row without dying or missing.

Intern: Accumulate 7000 heal points in a single life.

Specialist: Accumulate 10000 heal points health in a single life.

Chief Of Staff: Accumulate 10 million total heal points.

Hypocritical Oath: Kill an enemy Spy that you have been healing.

Medical Intervention: Save a falling teammate from dying on impact.

Second Opinion: Uber-Charge 2 teammates at once.

Autopsy Report: Provide an enemy with a freezecam shot of you taunting above their ragdoll.

FYI I Am A Medic: Use your bonesaw to kill 5 enemy Spies who have been calling for "Medic!".

Family Practice: Uber-charge ten of your Steam Community Friends.

House Call: Join a game that one of your friends is in and then deploy an Uber-Charge on him.

Bedside Manner: Be healing a teammate as he achieves an achievement of his own.

Some of these look...impossible. Jesus christ.

Anyone else notice that they seem more whiny than anything? Like medic is so boring to most people that they have to have some of these.

Some will, many will not. Just uber only heavies for a while, then only scouts, and then needle up scouts when you see them :P

I play medic more than anything else, and you will NEVER do most of this stuff unless you setup a game specifically to do so.

Ya the only way to get most of these is to do a custom game where the point is getting them.

Sharpless's Avatar
These are (almost) all achievable, it's just that they'll take a really long time to do. I'm not a fan of really hard achievements, but I guess this is a good way to encourage people to play as Medics, and to keep playing the game.
Magesx's Avatar
The only bad thing is that now everyone is going to be a medic.
Wedge's Avatar
Everyone isn't going to be a medic, they're going to set up a small game just to do these stupid things and be done with it.

GET YOUR ACHIEVEMENT WHORING OUT OF MY TF2, KTHX.

Oh fuck, I won't be able to do all that. Something tells me I'm going to be jealous of some of my fellow medics for a while. Will progress start from the update or do past kills/actions count?

Sami: The Ubercharge sticks on a person you spray it on for about a second and a half after you let go. The point is to hose one person down with the Ubercharge, then target a second. This'll unlock the achievement. Also, who the fuck designed most of these? While some, like ten million heal points, are relatively easy, others like "heal 10k damage on one life" are nigh impossible unless you purposefully set a game up to do so. And what's with these fucking friend list achievements? I hate that.
nukka jdav's Avatar
With the way I play the game, I will never, ever get all of these.
WDot's Avatar
I think it's great that they're hard. That means not everybody can just be medic for a day and get all the weapons. The new weapons are nice, but they're bonuses that say you worked your butt off to get them, and that you really love playing medic. I doubt I'm going to hear any "Noob play another class you don't even have the good medic weapons" because many people WON'T have them. Just achievement whores who won't be able to use them effectively anyway and really, really good medics.
Big Z's Avatar
I fancy myself a pretty good Medic (when I'm paying attention), but some of these are just insane. How do you heal 7000 points of damage without being wasted by a stray rocket or unchecked Scout? Perhaps I'm just too used to playing with anonymous teammates that are oblivious to their good doctor, but I don't see how many of these can be feasibly done without rigging the situation.
Wedge's Avatar
@Kamikaze

That's exactly my fucking point. This is goddamn fucking retarded. Instead of encouraging people to play the game, this just advertises setting up a private game with friends to get it out of the way, because you'll NEVER DO HALF THIS SHIT IN A REAL GAME.

So they're locking out new content with a bullshit barrier that serves no fucking purpose other than to waste people's time. I just hope it's fixed so you can lock/unlock the new items at a server level, instead of having to deal with all this halfassed achievement bullshit.

yeah these could definitely make for a very interesting/retarded FNF games in the future. I think that alot more people will be going medic in future games, and hopefully the FNF wont be too affected by this in a negative way (like mostly medic games)

This doesn't really encourage anything. If people want to cheat, then that's their own asinine fault. Just because something is really challenging, doesn't mean it's to be blamed for cheating. These are all achievable, and not one of them is necessary for one's enjoyment of the game, so I see no reason to have a fit about it.
PrinceofCannedPeaches's Avatar
Wow. Valve are just regular clever bastards, ain't they?
Wedge's Avatar
@Sharpless

You played TF2 on 360 for a few days, so don't talk. A ton of these aren't "challenging", but asinine and impossible to get unless the teams are stupidly unbalanced, or you set up a game specifically to do them, neither of which is a fun way to play the game. And that's not even to mention how buggy the simple achievements the game shipped with were. How awesome will it be if you actually get one of these legitimately and it doesn't register? I still have a 9/9 Head of Class that says I don't have it.

And the fact they are locking out the new content with this stuff ABSOFUCKINGLUTELY encourages people to cheat to get these.
moocow21's Avatar
Jeeze.. I didn't know so many people cared this much about achievements on Steam. Or are they coming to 360 too?
Zatsuga's Avatar
I have got to get Orange Box for PC. The 360 version is not going to cut it after these updates start rolling out (didn't M$ say they want to charge for all DLC, even if it's free on another platform, I think the Bungie folk reported as much).

Can't wait for the new Scout-specific achievements!
MrSinistar's Avatar
I wish TF2 wasn't stuttering for me right now, or otherwise I would be extremely happy to try to get these achievements.
RJG's Avatar
Not only will those achievements be difficult in and of themselves, but with my copy of TF2 unplayable due to stuttering and lag, it will be a while before I can even play the damn thing.

Doesn't help that Valve has completely ignored the issue. Valve used to be cool, and make games that work. =(

I LOLed at this one.

Anyway, my record for most heals on a single round and single life is around 6.5k, so it is possible.

The Combat Wombat's Avatar
Some of these aren't that bad, and I've already gotten close to a few of these without knowing about them. Most of them aren't even the "1 life" restriction either. Yeah, they'll take a long time and only come up in certain situations, but everyone can't always expect to get every achievement. Bravo Valve. Make me want to work towards something.
Darkjad's Avatar
Some of them are pretty funny, some of them are good, and some of them are essentially random (heal someone as they get an achievement).

To be honest, I think they went a little overboard with them, but not much. I like that they'll take time to accomplish.

I've played TF2 for much more than just last weekend. Last weekend, however, was my longest consecutive time with the game; that's all. And I don't really need a fanatical amount of experience with the game, to hold the opinions I spoke about above. I'm aware of how difficult those achievements are, as I've been working my ass off to try and score the game's original achievements, which I consider to be somewhat challenging in their own right.

Valve's fanbase can be quite fanatical. I see no problem with giving the hardcore fans something to shoot for. I really don't think the new weapons are going to unbalance the game as significantly as you seem to think.
squirrelyg's Avatar
So um what the hell are PS3 owners going to do. As far as I know our version doesn't even have achievements.
mistic's Avatar
some of these sound really hard :p

so everybody's gonna be playing as medic for the next couple of months?
Sharpless's Avatar
@squirrelyg
I'm pretty sure Valve puts in its own achievements, unless I'm mistaken. I mean, the PC version has them, of course. I could be wrong, but I bet the PS3 version does have them.
TheToiletDuck's Avatar
This is good. Especially when I consider that Medic is the only class I'm any use to my team mates with and thus my most used class.

READ: I used to like medics before they were cool
hjd_uk's Avatar
Damn, ive got 105 Hrs as medic (by far my most played class). And by god some of these are just plain sadisticly hard to achieve. And now theres going to be games with 10 medics per team.
Should be a laugh :).

PS : I hope that at least some of these will retroactivly activate.

I should get honorary items for my long service as medic :P
greeneggsnam's Avatar
The ones you mentioned are the easy ones: you just play and play, and eventually you get the achievement. The hardest ones are where you have to reply on having a brilliant heavy that will kill 30 people in one life with you.
Niaccurshi's Avatar
So what if some people lame out and set up small games to get these achievements? Valve have made it pretty clear that they intend to balance these weapons. The first weapon is probably the most imbalanced of them all, but given you only need 12 achievements to do it there is going to be no shortage of people being able to get that weapon. I for one would actually rather that some people DID go and set up private games to get these new weapons so that I, as an opposing player, had something different to play against. I'm relishing the idea of coming up against medics that crit-uber rather than invuln-uber and seeing how tactics need to change, as well as watching fools try to rush me with a jacked up bonesaw and never quite getting close enough!
Lobster Mobster's Avatar
Some of these you'll have to try for (and try hard). Some you'll have to give up and just let them happen on their own because they're too random. But some of them (like Consultation?) absolutely require the other player to know that you're going for the achievement and help you do so, which is pretty unlikely unless the whole situation is staged. And some of them are pretty counter-intuitive... who ubers a demo man just to blow up engineer buildings?
greeneggsnam's Avatar
@lobster:
Erm, most people. Sentries kill you if you;re not ubered.
digitaldemigod's Avatar
How in the hell do you achieve 10,000 heal points in a single life? I got the 25,000 heal point achievement and that took like 8 different sessions and 4 hours.

And on that note... 10 million heal points?! I'm sorry, I have other games to play too. I'm not playing TF2 as a medic 8 hours a day for the rest of my life.
Zeal404's Avatar
I hope when they refer to life they mean your RL one...

In all honesty, putting "unlocks" behind "achievements" of this kind of magnitude; I hope they're joking. Its like Valve was trying to tell us that EA's Evil empire of unlocking and taking away what was left of your life wasn't enough. They just changed lanes without signaling and rolled over after they finished, hurriedly said I love you, then burned down your apartment.
Holyetheline's Avatar
Those are some difficult achievements. I will give up on them after a while, haha.
graphic's Avatar
@ fusoya: bedisde manners is pretty easy. On your first login after the update heal a medic on warmup who´s getting Surgical Prep.
Etelmik's Avatar
It's going to be easy to get the first, time-consuming to get the second, and almost impossible to get the third. Like, getting that thing will be like getting an orange weapon in WoW.

Oh God, I didn't just make that comparison.

Oh, and remember--most the achievements are easier as you get each new weapon. When whomever you uber gets all crits, that's money.

Lastly: this is going to turn TF2 into the CoD4 PC scene. Vanilla will be popular for competition, and casual play will go for a long, long time.

Goddammit. Why?
A bunch of these sound like you'll have to set them up to actually do them. Laym.
