er um, there’s another needle?? :???:
I WANT ONE! I WANT ONE!!!

how do you get it?

only Lv4 medics get it, than simply press the weaponbank 5 key twice and you’ll get a nice red needle :wink:

And if you get to Level 5 medic you get the pink needle. This will make you feel Euphoric but you’ll die quick cause you’ll be paranoic seeing enemy soldiers and mines all over the place. :eek:

Obviously you haven’t noticed that there ARE enemy soldiers and mines all over the place :smiley:

Ehhh, actually press the 5 key once OR twice, depending on which one it decided to randomly show you the first time :frowning:

Nop, from my experience it’ll bring up the needle you had before you switched to another weapon. So if you gave yourself adrenalin and swich back to the SMG without changing back to the revive needle first you’ll get the adrenalin needle again when you swich back to 5.

So always remember after using the adrenalin needle to change back to the normal needle before you swich to any other weapon!

No, I’ve had it bring up the adrenaline needle the first time I go to revive someone after being promoted to level 4, and have had it come up randomly after that.

Or maybe I’m hitting the key more than once and not noticing, but I’m fairly sure that’s not the case :moo:

you DO GET NEEDLES from ammo packs. I know I did for a fact get needles from packs before. Cuz I clearly did more than 12 revives with one life (i even say_team’ed my team that I had one needle left) and then when I went to do a revive 15 seconds later, i foudn that I was actually holding 4 needles. So i picked up some more ammo packs and I got more needles. i think you can only get to a certain limit when picking up ammo packs for needles. (ie. you can’t go from 9->10 needles, but you can go 2->3 needles) It may have been possible that I was picking up Mega Ammo Packs too.

:banghead:
Yes, I just realize the adrenaline needle is a problem now to me now. This did’nt bother me that much before, since I didn’t play much medic since the official release, but when I went to play medic the other day, I kept stabbing myself.

It should be Alt-Attack button for Self Adrenaline. I mean, not as if many of us use it very often, since most medics are rarely full on their power bar due to med pack demands.

I think they should just make it so that you only press alt-fire with the needle out and your guy shoots up, not alt-fire to switch to a different needle then left click. That would make it a lot easier and also solve this problem you are talking about.

Sorry to dig up a fading thread. Just got done with an intense game of lvl 4 medic action for a good chunk of the game. It was very annoying to have that red needle pop out once in a while. It does either need to be alt-fire (preferred) or if not that, the same weapon bank the engi mines are in (7 i think). Hope we can see this adjusted in a patch, SD!

My bad, I Was wrong. I can admit I was wrong.

Paste from manual:


The Syringe is used to revive teammates (see "Special Abilities" below). When Medics pick up an Ammo Pack, either from a Field Ops or an Ammo Cabinet, they receive 1 extra syringe.

sorry.
