TF2 Bug Busters: Medic Bugs 

Yo! Come join my Discord: discord.gg/TZX4bXM

The amount of times i shot a teammate with the crossbow and it went through em is immeasurable.

The uber medic bug can be seen a LOT within mvm with the canteen. Many of my friends and I have encountered it, a good 2 years. Glad to see an explanation

Engineer bug: he has a bug cosmetic set VALVe please fix

The social distancing’s really hitting hard, huh?

Medical Intervention achievent can be earned when you are the medic and falling to your death, then activating über on the quick-fix. I go the achievement that way.

I would like that spy was the next, ya' know, the disguise thing got a loooot of bugs. As an example: sometimes when you disguise as a engie you still gotting the revolver, sometimes when you disguise as a demo or pyro you appear without legs or even the head. That's why i would like spy as next

One bug you could've covered was the fact that teammates lose crit heals when jumping with either the sticky jumper or rocket jumper.

The bug with the no uber is very well known, when your uber, the charge drains and when it hits 0% it switches your uber state from on to off, if you get ubered while you already have uber, uber gets switched on while it was already on, then when your uber runs out, it gets switched off, leaving you vulnerable

9:15 that's actually an intended feature. Back in the day medics would pop shields on themselves to combat medic and it was kinda OP.

i've seen the arm clipping bug happen when the round ends while you're healing someone, that's how it always happens for me.

The Resistance icon bug for the Vaccinator happens when your healing target switches teams/gets autobalanced. Pretty annoying when you get autobalanced as a spy.

Still loving the new intro

I remember a video of Soundsmith in MvM where he was using the Uber Canteen and then he used the phlog taunt but the invincibility wore off mid taunt because the Canteen ran out first.

Roughly correct on those estimates, roughly

8:55 This was intentional, and was updated around October after Gun Mettle. This was because a medic could pop a resistance on himself, and charge the enemy with his ubersaw for a kill while he took 75% less damage from the enemy's weapon. This was a powerful battle-medic tactic, but more or less rendered an enemy in a one vs one scenario all but helpless. It was probably fixed for that reason.

6:08 Interesting enough, a Similar bug can be found in Mann vs Machine. If you use an Ubercharge Canteen while using the Phlogistinator, and you MMPH Taunt right as you Uber Canteen is about to run out, the Uber Canteen running out will cause your MMPH taunts Uber charge to cancel out, leaving you vulnerable while MMPH taunting.

7:12 piemations medic should’ve used the quick fix on that heavy spy

I really want to know what causes that one “I AM A GOD” bug on Juudolf’s video, if it’s still a thing. Basically, Juudolf is a BLU scout on Dustbowl. He encounters a lone RED Medic with the syringe gun, but he is textured as if ubercharged from a Medigun. The RED Medic is killed and gibbed with 4 damage from the BLU Scout’s scattergun despite the Uber texture, and the gibs from the RED Medic are that of a BLU Medic.

11:28 ive gotten this bug almost every time i lose, i think it might happen when you are healing a teammate and the round ends. not sure tho

The Vaccinator bug reminded me how some players get icons permanently stick above their heads. I think it happens when they get autobalanced while an icon is active (like the vacc or marked for death)

6:39 This is actually a part of the game i believe, I remember seeing a loading tip about it.

I know I'm late but, for the bug at 1:25, this may be talking about in relation to the viewmodel. For a large amount of projectile weapons, the projectile will have a weird spawn point in first person when you are crouched (but still function perfectly fine otherwise).

11:37 my medic's arm always clips through his head and I have no idea why. I can confirim that happened today. this is confirmed

This was a really interesting video. I think you should do one on Achievement bugs. There are a few achievements I swear I followed the criteria for but just can't get. There's one where you have to kill 3 jarated enemies with your melee. I killed 3 enemies with 1 jarate many times and yet I couldn't get the achievement. I decided to give up after I hypothesized that I needed to use the stock Kukri (that sounded too hard for me) Then a few months ago (keep in mind I've been playing since 2011) I got it anyways after I killed a jarated medic with the Bushwacka. I think that you have to jarate an enemy 3 times in 1 life and only kill 1 enemy at a time.

2:52 the Soldier got sterilized

Man i love learning specific and usually minor inconveniences, and this series scratches that itch. Keep up the good work and don't falter.

That unseen medic bug you ran into I actually got a lot a year ago and I had no idea why it kept happening. Glad to know what was causing it to happen way back then.

that one where the ubër runs out when the other ubërs happens with a ubër canteen in MvM, it actually happened in a soundsmith video, one of his MvM shenanigans

Spy should be next, he likely has some of the more interesting bugs with disguises,cloak, etc

The Uber starts blinking (ending) for the first medic, and until he is done being ubered, he cannot be ubered again. This is because the uber was ending on the other end. This might be able to be fixed if you switch from the medigun and then back to it.

This is a really good start to the series!! I'd like to see Soldier next!

There is a weird medic bug that almost nobody seems to know... If you heal enemy spies that kill your teammates will grant you assists. This makes it possible to dominate players on your own team. (Not sure if fixed)

Thats literally one of the most well knows medic bugs out there. lol

This was a really fun video actually, I'd love to see more

love this new series, please make more.

2:20 That happens to me every single match, i hate this bug, when i want to heal someone quickly and my arrow just pass through my teammates, it's frustrating

I didn't see the most known glitch in the game here. The ubersaw's 1000000000% critical rate

A little help for any bug testing regarding movement speeds is to use the command "cl_showpos 1" as it shows you your location in x,y and z coordinates, and it also shows your velocity in hammer units.

This channel evolved alot, nice job man!

After Breakfast: “What class should be next?” Me: “All of them”

I feel like pyro or spy should be next, they’ve probably had their fair share of bugs I really like this series though :)

This is a good, informative series, I hope to see more.

Awesome series idea! Could be really interesting:)

Will you do a complete history on Soldier in honor of Rick May?

And just when I was planning to watch "TF2: a complete history of the Medic" and saw this- I mean..I guess I can watch that other video later..?

love the new series, keep it up

the mantreads bit is probably because the stats say something like " fall damage is given 3x to the stompee when you stomp someone" & they likely just made the damage type fall damage

RU-vid: 144p is fine

I miss the old intro tbh

This is actually really entertaining good job

1:52 is actually intentional, for example, if a BLU medic fired a crossbow bolt at a RED pyro, the pyro reflected it and it hit a BLU demoman, the demoman actually gets healed and doesn't take any damage. Edit: now that I think about it, I think it was patched and it does damage to enemies, because the person who demonstrated it published the video wayy before this video came out

7:11 While this is indeed a bug, I don’t think it’s harmful. In fact, I think it’s beneficial because that way it reveals this person is a Spy. Which basically means that a Spy can’t “steal” and Über.

Last time I was this early, some angry German guy started giving speeches about facism after some art school rejected him

This is so cool. I can't wait for this series to continue. I'm thinking that after the 9 classes you should do bugs with cosmetics and other various things in game. Also I'd like to see the pyro next, since you asked.

Finally the video I've been waiting for :)

Really cool video idea, I’m sure the next one will be just as cool

The Vaccinator article's "Bugs" section was updated _the day before_ this video was released; the Cow Mangler bug was replaced with the Spy disguise's backpack one.

I am a big fan of this content theme. Fantastic content as usual!

Adding on to the medi gun bug; If you somehow managed to get full uber after finishing a charge, ubering your heal target again while the animation of the uber charage texture flashing is playing will cause you to be vulnerable

i learned in a shounic video that medic's arm being broken during humiliation was a result of inverse kinematics not being disabled. his arm is basically super glued to the gun to make sure it doesnt clip, and when you're put into the humiliation animation medic's arm tries its best to make sense of what his other two arm joints are doing based on where his hand is.

You've never noticed the crossbow shooting through teammates bug? Ho freaking lucky, can't tell how many times I've looked like a complete mooron by 'missing' bolts from a meter away.

10:58 Seems more like an oversight on the Infernal Medicine achievement. Pyro may have afterburn immunity but it doesn't mean it can't have the afterburn status. Maybe "immunity" is the wrong term being used here. Directly from the Wiki: "Note that enemy Pyros cannot be set on fire (as Pyros are normally immune to afterburn), except by the Dragon's Fury and the Gas Passer. While Pyros still take contact damage from direct flame attacks, they will not take further damage over time. The Pyro does, however, count as on fire for a brief second while he appears with the charred graphical effect after taking damage from a fire-inducing weapon, and while the Pyro takes no additional damage, the Pyro can still suffer critical hits from the Sun-on-a-Stick and Flare Gun"

I remember seeing the medic changing Uber bug in a sound Smith mvm video, other than that, great video!

About that Medic über thing: Maybe the problem is that the second über gets activated before the first über runs out. So the first über ends and cancels the second über effect on the healer, because it's more of a passive buff. But the healing target is actively übered, so it doesn't get canceled by the first über running out. I don't know if that makes sense, but that's my theory.

That medic bug you guys discovered has been out for a couple of years. I think one of soundsmith’s mvm shenanigans had that happen

Awesome video SquimJim, thanks so much for the upload during these trying times! Hope you are well. As for this particular bug while uberchaining, trust me, it has happened A LOT more commonly than you would think. It’s gotten me and my friends killed far more than you would believe, and has been in the game for years. The best workaround for this bug is to simply save the last two seconds of uber for staying on your mediguns for both Medics and ubering each other before Medic #2 begins his part of the chaining. It’s a little monotonous but it guarantees you will maintain your uber. That or you can just both switch off and wait a second before using the next uber. Either solution stopped us from being caught with our practitioner pants down.

I’m new to the channel, you made really good videos. Keep it up.

Hey btw the bug with medics arm getting twisted when going into the humiliation pose happens when you are HEALING a target when you lose. I think I saw an explanation of why it happens on some other video, but it still (sometimes) happens.

That medic Über bug is pretty old, as far as I can remember. I remember seeing it at least a year or two ago.

I have a suggestion for a bug to test: It's possible to get the Master of Disguise achievement if you're being healed when getting forcibly autobalanced onto the enemy team, no matter what class you are. I had this happen to me, when I had 0 hrs on Spy. This probably happens because the game only checks if you've been recently healed by a player on the enemy team, assuming that this condition can only happen with a disguised Spy.

The uber bug at ~ 4:10 can also happen if you type in the console *addcond 5* which will make you ubercharged and then if a medic heals you it will completely cancel out the uber

I would love to see this as a series señor.

10:40 it actually makes sence considering how mantreads damage works, and apparently the "3x falling damage" is literally considered falling damage dealt to the enemy soldier stomped on

4:04 This bug can also happen with Uber canteens and the flog. This happened in one of sound Smith's MVM Shenanigans videos. Basically if you activate something that gives you Uber right as something that was ubering you just ended it will cancel out the Uber that you were supposed to get. Video:ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-qfyVApNr3tQ.html It happens at 1:36

That bug with the crusaders crossbow bolts going through teammates is really noticeable. I've yet to meet a medic main who hasn't struggled with it. It means you can't crossbow people at point blank range. You have to back up a few paces. I see newer medics not know this, and it's painful to watch. But it's also incredibly annoying when you forget, crossbow somebody, and their health doesn't go up.

The medic's Ubercharge bug happened between me and a heavy yesterday. I was using the quick fix and ubersaw.

Very nice series idea indeed

I seen your channel a good few times and never once noticed Big boss as the intro/Avatar for your channel

That one but you talked about usually happens when ubering too fast right before the other ends

I'm looking forward to future episodes of this series, because it's really cool! I always thought we need to highlight the bugs in this game to show that we need more quality of life updates and bugfixes instead of new content. I mean just look at these bugs! Pretty much all of them were gameplay affecting. Stuff like this wouldn't fly in cs:go or dota 2, so we shouldn't be contempt with playing a bug riddled game.

It's only 2 years late, but I added the Uberchaining bug to the Tf2 wiki :)

The Medic Über cancelling bug happens quite a lot in MvM, both on the players with canteens and on the robots themselves. If a Medic-bot activates his charge and then gets pushed back into the robot safe-space that applies the "Invisible Über", (i.e. on Bigrock), then when it leaves the spawn area again it will be vulnerable, even though the patient is protected. It can sometimes make the Über Medics easier to deal with than they should be.

4:29 I've seen this one when you roll the dice on those custom servers, like 20 sec infinite uber. It happened only to the medic who activated the uber and if it was active for 8 seconds, you could be ubered again by switching weapons.

My best explination for the uber is that the game never expects two ubers at the same time, so a shortcut while making it removes all uber effects and not just the one that ran out

I'll be happy with any class you pick for the next episode of bug Busters. Or even an episode about maps, engineer buildings, or other things.

The medic bug you guys found also happened to soundsmith once while playing pyro, where his Uber canteen ending cancelled his phlog taunt Uber.

Since you are in Nuclues here is one for scout: you can't shoot your sandman ball or the wrap assassin ball into the middle capture point at Nucleus.

Please continue!

11:27 This bug only happens if you are healing someone when the round ends (or get scared by a ghost). When healing, Medic's arm is moved forward on the medigun switch, which is why i clips through his head when surrendering. (ONLY WHEN HEALING)

I still see the medic's arms clip through his body when he puts his hands up after a round loss or scared by ghost.

After Breakfast is my favourite exterminator. I had a rat problem the other week and he came over but sadly only works with bugs. The rats are still here, help me.

4:30 This bug with Ubers is present on custom robot medics in MvM too, the charge fades from the medic but not the heal target. It's a bug to do with Ubercharge duration. For some reason, the charge on the Medic will fade after a certain amount of time.

That first bug for the quickfix did have a impact on a game once, I was using quickfix on defense on phase 2 of DustBowl, we were defending last and when the the enemy team pushed and going for the cap, but I had my Uber up so I popped and went point but didn’t stopped them, me and my team were confused after that

About the vaccinator "glitch," the resistance bubble used to persist even after the medi gun was put away, but valve silently patched that out several years ago because people would "one-man uberchain" with it by popping all three resistance bubbles at once and rushing with their ubersaw.

For the vavcinator bug, when you're healing someone and the patient gets auto balanced, the patient that you were healing that got auto balanced has a chance to keep the icon on top of his character as I watched Uncle Dane's Flava Lava video

The uber bug also occurs with the phlogistinator, and in mvm with uber canteens

The bent medic arm is a glitch that sometimes happens. Its rare, but Medic's arm will still be bent when he has the Medi Gun out.

Feel like a rebel. Watching this BEFORE breakfast.

-Kind of saw a similar- Uber bug in soundsmith’s mvm where a Uber canteen was used during a phlog taunt and then cancelled the canteen
