The IAF Medical Amplifier Gun is a variant of the Medical Gun which can be used to amplify damage output as well as to heal a bit. Like the Medical Gun, this weapon is available only to Medics.

Description[]

This experimental version of the IAF regenerative healing gun can convert the healing charge into an electromagnetic field which optimizes the weapon of a single marine to fire rounds with increased impact force. Primary fire performs healing while alternate fire does amplification.

Advantages[]

  • Can heal or amplify on the move
  • Doesn't require marines to cluster together to receive healing
  • Fast healing rate

Disadvantages[]

  • Only one target can be healed or amplified at a time
  • Lower overall healing capacity than Heal Beacons
  • Lower healing capacity than Medical Gun
  • Requires the Medic to concentrate on healing or amplification

Notes[]

  • The amount of amp charges is based on the medic's Damage Bonus. With a base of 60 charges plus 30 per skillpoint. That's 90 with Faith and 150 with Bastille.
  • Healing charges are half the available amount of the regular Medical Gun. That's 45 for Faith and 35 for Bastille.
  • The amplifying mode, which can target any marine applies the effect of the Damage Amplifier to the selected target, multiplying their damage output by 2.
