Ve did it, Kamerad!
The Medic to his feathered friend

Archimedes is a cosmetic item for the Medic. It is the Medic's pet white dove splattered in blood, as seen in Meet the Medic, sitting on the Medic's shoulder, and moves around when he walks. The BLU version of Archimedes does not have blood splattered on his body. His eyes and beak are connected with Medic's facial animations, allowing him to mimic the Medic's expressions.

When players equipped with this item kill an enemy unassisted by another player, the killfeed shows everyone in Pyroland that it gets the assist, with its custom name if it has one.

This item is awarded in Genuine quality to those who purchase the plush version from the Valve Store.
