Nuclear Bombarder

"Because radiation sickness is an extremely epic way to kill people. Radiation doesn't do any immediate damage to victims, but causes them to take 40% more damage from other sources." In-game description

The Nuclear Bombarder is a slot 1 weapon for Medic that functions similarly to the gas cannon, but instead of the grenades exploding into gas fumes, it explodes into radiation fumes, which do not deal any damage on its own, but can increase the damage from other sources by 40%. This effect indirectly buffs the damage output of other weapons. The effects do not stack.

The weapon itself has several shades of gray and has a noticeable yellow green color to it. A flashlight mounted at the top can be seen on at all times. Interestingly, its barrel seems to be placed vertically instead of horizontally. The radiation it shoots is also yellow green, but appears to be glowing with huge circular particles. Several of these shot in a specific area could block your view.

Tactics

 * Since it functions very similarly to the gas cannon, the same tactics can be used for this weapon. See the gas cannon's page for the general tactics you should know on how to use this effectively.


 * It makes enemies take extra damage, so rely on your teammates or your slot 2 weapons to make use of this effectively.

Trivia
There is currently a bug where it also allows enemies to heal more HP.

The original name of this weapon is the Portable Chernobyl.
