I'm sure most of you have heard of, or, if the update is already out, started to achieve the new medic weapons. The new needlegun cannot crit, but steals life. The new healgun can't make targets invulnerable, but makes crit-spitting deathmachines(tm). The new bonesaw actually fills your ubercharge as you deal damage, giving 100% in 4 hits.
Of course, in order to unlock these weapons you have to get a certain number of medic achievements. I understand it's 12 for the needlegun, 24 for the healgun, and 36 for the bonesaw. additionally, I've gathered you need to replace your weapon with another, for instance, you can't have both a regular bonesaw, and an ubercharging bonesaw.
Seriously, this is awesome!.... except that everyone and their brother is going to be playing medic for the next month.
*edit* that was all one giant block of text. i had to put in some breaks.

I hope you didn't just find out about this now. Everyone has known about it for a couple of weeks.

I've known about the updates for a long while, but i found out about the specifics about midway through last week, and I'm posting now because I can't get to my personal computer to play, but I'm told the release was supposed to be today or something.
In other words, I'm just freaking out about it now because it's so close.

Freaking out is understandable.
I personally can't wait to find out how many of the 10,000,000 hp I've healed so far. I assume it'll be retroactive anyway and will be displayed on my steamID page... My best guess?: 2,500,000

I sure hope those achievements can be unlocked retroactively, otherwise it's gonna be a long long time before anyone gets the new bonesaw. Heal a heavy and get 30 kills without either of you dying? Inconceivable!
No doubt there will be servers dedicated to unlocking the more challenging achievements.

That is the case for some of the simpler achievements but you will be more likely to get the other achievements if you heal people in combat.
Also, some of the achievements require 6 or more people on the server.
For the record, is the update out now, or later this week, or is it still going to be a while? I can't wait to start playing medic now that I have goals like 10 successful bonesaws without missing or dying.

should be this week or something,
Also I'm gonna lock the server when the updates come out one day and you can come in and just heal forever and leave your computer running to get the achievements.

The best part of that is if you get a medic chain going, then the people in back will get another achievement for healing someone as they get an achievement of their own.
Maybe it won't be so hard getting the achievements as I thought.

I was thinking we have 2 lvl 3 sentries, one heavy and like 5 medics healing that heavy. In theory it should work we just need to see how many medics we really need.

I've heard that multiple medics on one target does not increase the rate at which the target heals. Weather or not that is true, healing is slower when the target has recently been damaged. Fresh damage heals more slowly. I would estimate more than 5 medics would be required to tank 2 level 3 sentries. Still, the engys would score a new damage record most likely.
*edit* DELAYED TILL MAY!?!?!?!?
