The Kritzkrieg is a secondary medigun for the Doctor. Its SuperCharge charges 25% faster, and gives both the user and their patient guaranteed critical hits upon activating the SuperCharge.
This weapon allows for heavier pushes and can seriously cripple the enemy team due to the sheer damage it allows the healing patient to deal. An explosive class, such as the Trooper or Annihilator can make use of the crits with their splash damage capabilities, easily swiping out a large group of enemies.
Although the Kritzkrieg might seem like an ideal tool for attacking, be aware of sentry nests since buildings are completely immune to critical hits.

Tips
- Remember that the Kritzkrieg's SuperCharge only grants crits, not immunity. Although the teammate you're pocketing will be more powerful, they still can take damage.
- A class you should look out for while using the Kritzkrieg's SuperCharge is the Agent. They'll still be able to sneak in for a backstab and ruin your plans.
- Be sure the person you plan on using the charge on knows what they're doing beforehand, as the healing rate stays the same while SuperCharged, and they are still just as vulnerable to dying as they were before.
- If you find yourself isolated with enemies coming up to you, you can SuperCharge yourself and quick-switch to your melee and swing as quickly as possible to get a free critical hit against whoever attacks you.
- This is the recommended medigun for pocketing classes with weapons that can output high DPS such as Trooper, Brute, or Annihilator.
- If there aren't better options, it might be considerable to use your SuperCharge on classes with weapons that greatly suffer from falloff damage (pistols, revolvers, etc.).

Trivia
- The 2018 model is taken from a model on the Creator Marketplace called KritzKrieg, but with some parts removed.
- The name of this weapon is a portmanteau of a purposeful misspelling of the word "crits" as "kritz" and "blitzkrieg."
- Blitzkrieg, when translated, means "lightning warfare", so the Kritzkrieg could be literally taken as "critical warfare."
- There is an unused kill-icon of Kritzkrieg using the 2018 model in the game files. It is likely that Buildingsssss drew it prior to the remodel during the Typical Horrors II update development.
