I am currently medic class 3 and have stuck to the starter gun but I don’t know what gun to spend my WB’s on. I am currently rank 28 and only have played for 12 hours

Not sure if you need to be class 10 to unlock the dlc weapons. If not I would try for the farqahr hill or RSC or Fedorov if I was you. Other than that the selbstlader m1916 is a great choice in my opinion.

Farquhar-hill and Auto 8 ext, depending on map.

There really is no “best” medic weapon since there are many variables that will determine what works best for you. What game mode: Conquest? Operations? Are you aggressive or do you hang back? Which map? How’s your aim?

I play mostly Conquest and tend to play more aggressively, getting my nose dirty with the assault players (and frequently reviving and giving them health too). For close quarters, and noting that you haven’t leveled up much, the M1907 SL Sweeper is a solid choice since it’s pretty easy to use and forgiving yet pretty effective. The Autoloading 8 .25 Extended is also a great choice and one I still use despite having all the other newer guns. The Cei-Rigotti Factory or Trench is also one you should try.

You’re probably going to get a recommendation for just about every different medic gun available but you have to figure out what works best for YOU by just going out an playing. Don’t worry about your K/D but how effective a medic you are by healing and reviving your teammates!

Post TTK, IMO the best guns are:

Short range maps: Autoloading Extended or 1907 Trench or Factory  
Medium Range: RSC Optical - there is really no better gun now it is 2 shot kill…  
Longer Range maps: Selby Marksman

Many also like the 1907 Sweeper as above, but the Trench and Factory version are far better. Personally I use the 1907 Factor for all short range maps.

Many people swear by the Farquar Hill too - Its not a favourite of mine though.

This is a list I can agree with. I haven’t used the 1907 trench in a while I used it a bunch before ttk2.0 and in the cte. But have pretty much stuck to the rsc optical.

I’m definitely not the most experienced or the best medic/player out there but I would be like medic class ~130 something if you divided out #'s.

There is definitely no "best’ weapon as already mentioned. There are medic weapons that are generally better than others depending and map mode\size. If you’re into Domination/TDM or even FL (CQB/small maps), guns like the Federov, auto 8 ( all versions), sweeper/trench will consistently get you good results. Large map modes, stick with deeper range guns like the Federov(tap fire it) Auto 8 (.35). Make it a point to See the other player first and train yourself to ADS most of the time.

- Now, there are still more guns in the right hands that ‘can’ be deadly anytime, anywhere. RSC, Auto 8 Marksman, Selb 1906 Sniper, Farq-hill Optical.  
Stay away long term (unless needed to unlock something), from the Selb 1916, Farq-hill, Cei, Mondragon, Lui.

But.

-There are people on here that will throw out comments like " a _skilled_ player would use this " " weapon" → don’t pay any attention to that arrogant bs. Use what gets results.

-There are people on here that will throw out comments like " most players use the " " weapon because its..-\> (insert excuse here)-\> again, don’t pay any attention. Use what gets results. Hellreigel may be the exception though 😛

Whatever a player decides to do as a medic, don’t forget the priority is to revive and heal but kill first to keep you alive.

If you are a starter medic, the Cei Rigotti Trench is also a potent weapon to use after the TTK 2.0 patch.

No “best gun” out there. There’s only whatever works best for you. That said I have been really enjoying the Howell Automatic recently.

Personally I’d stick with the Cei-Rigotti as it’s a good middle-of-the-road gun.

Everyone has their favourites, there is no ‘best’. For starter guns I loved the Cei Rigotti Optical - its much better in TTK2 but struggles with long reload times.

Personally the Farqhuar Hill Optical is great (my highest KPM of all primaries). The Federov Trench is great in close quarters. I do like the new Howel Sniper, but it has the pre TTK2 SIPS values, which makes it a tad more inaccurate - but I think it will be amazing when that gets fixed. The RSC is a beast too, but I just don’t like using it. Those are all DLC weapons though.

If you don’t have the DLC then the Seblader 1916 is good for medium range engagements, and the Autoloading Extended for closer quaters. If your aim is on point then the Autoloading .35 Marksman is still a beast, but only a small mag so you need to use cover well.

I use the Fedorov trench for automatic fire. I dont use the optical because the sight woobles too much.  
The Cei Rigotti is the best medic weapon for bad-medium players. Its really accurate and have good dmg to the amount of bullets ration. I too struggled with other weapons when i left the Cei rigotti and went for my epic quest to get a star on every weapon.  
Mondragon sniper because it feels light weight and has good range.  
You can try the selbstlader for the 25 bullets in the magazine, but i cant really use it as other imply.  
RSC for heavy damage per bullet, could be my first gun where i consistently got headshots for some reason. Feels heavy which could be a plus.  
Auto loading 8.25 extended is an excellent gun because of alot of bullets compared to the others in the namesake. But i also think(believe) its teh one where the ironsights are the smallest at the tip. Instead of a blokform, its a tight triangle. But i could be wrong, at any rate, theres a medic gun with a really sharp end on the ironsights.

Autoloading ext for shorter range/ groups of opponents for its rate of fire and clip size. Mondragon storm for medium to long range for it damage and rate of fire. The federov is good for short range but if your accurate the autoloading is better.

The rest have small clips, bad rates of fire and long reloads. I constantly attack though so need clip size, rate of fire and damage to be good. Mondragon is better once you master reloads on 5 or 0 bullets left in the gun. My infantry kpm is about 2.0 so thats why I like these 2 guns.

For me the RSC, Fedorov and Faquar hill are the top dogs. The RSC is really more of an aggro scout weapon, range is fantastic yet far more effective in CQB. I combine this with the Luger so I’ve got a spammy pistol with an accurate rifle. The Fedorov is an out and out assault weapon, but more of a second wave weapon (like the SMG 08 and Ribeyrolles) which is where the medic class works best. It’s also really good at range if single tapped, nothing like the other medic weapons but surprisingly good for a 103 year old assualt rifle.

The other guns are all really close for me, I like them all. The Howells cool but I hate bipods because you always pay a price for not firing from prone and I never fire from prone because scouts can headshot you very easily. The Faquar just shines out a bit for me, big magazine, decent fire rate and accurate. I always use iron sights with no zoom on medic weapons, I think this makes the recoil easier to manage.

I use the auto revolver with the Federov and Faquar because you can get up close and personal with the assualt dudes. Within about 20 metres a good assualt player has all the aces. My most effective tactic, and this only works with a headset, is to fire a few rounds then get behind cover. Not in a corner because they’ll blow you up but behind something where they can’t hit with their AT rocket and you can dodge the granades and chuck medpacks everywhere. Run away if you must then bayonet charge when you can reach the desired spot. If you’re in a building you need open corridor behind you. The assault dude will eventually try to get close, you’ll hear him coming. With practice you’ll know when he’s within 5-10m and which direction he’s coming from. That’s the moment to pop out and engage him with a revolver, closer the better. More often than not it’s the last thing they expect and you’ve killed them before they’ve let go of the sprint button. Ironically this is also a great tactic with the Automatico or Machinpistol.

Oh, and, erm… save people. Because medics are for… you know, saving people \<cough, cough\>  
😉

The Luger P08 is the crappiest pistol in the game.

It’s the worst actual not a joke side arm in the game, although the No. 3, Nagant Revolver, C96, and Repetierpistole are all contenders for this slot.

As for OP, there are a few.

If you just want good all rounders the M1907 (all variants), Autoloading 8.25 Extended, Selbstlader 1916 (all variants), Fedorov Avtomat (both variants), Farquar Hill (both variants) and Cei-Rigotti (all variants) are all fantastic choices.

If you want to practice your aim then the Autoloading 8.35 Marksman (the factory is still garbage), RSC (both variants), Selbstlader 1906 (both variants and don’t worry level 10 in each class takes no time at all), Mondragón (all variants), and General Liu are all good all or nothing weapons.

Any of the choices are good, it’s really just what you like out of your weapon and what feels the best. My personal favorites are the RSC, Autoloading 8.35 Marksman/.25 Extended, Mondragón Optical/Sniper, and M1907 Trench.

Also use the auto revolver, it’s a very good and reliable sidearm.

The best medic guns from the vanilla game are the Selbstlader 1916, factory or Marksman even optical. ML1907 and the Auto Loading 8.35 extended. Mondragon is a decent gun so to the Cei Rigotti. DLC guns are the RSC, Fedorov Avtimat and the Farquhar Hill. The Medic Level 10 gun, Selbstlader 1906 is ok. Extremely accurate but only 5 rounds. But it can be fired quickly. Sidearms it’s no question the Auto Revolver is great, hits hard at least in close range. 2 hit kill.

I know the reload isn’t great but it’s fine if you empty it, if you don’t more often than not you’ve got plenty of time to reload.
