The Overdrive is a passive primary weapon for the Doctor. They are a pair of brown snow boots.
Equipping this will automatically increase Doctor's walk speed by 10%, giving him a speed rate of 117%. His speed can increase further based on his SuperCharge percentage; up to 15% more walk speed.
Once Doctor's SuperCharge reaches 100%, his speed rate will cap at 133%, or 25 studs/second, the exact same speed as a Flanker.
This weapon pushes Doctors to take a more defensive approach towards battle. The increased speed means you can potentially dodge more attacks, and escape from a squad of enemies if you're outmatched. Since equipping this weapon means you no longer have any methods to deal damage from range, you will need to invest in a useful melee weapon. The increased speed also helps you to rush down enemies and kill them quickly with your melee.

Tips
- Overall, the Overdrive shoes more or less makes a Doctor act more like a Flanker.
- The main advantage of the Overdrive shoes is increased speed. With this, you become a lot more efficient on the battlefield.
- You can get to the frontlines faster from spawn if there's no Teleporter avaliable.
- You can run away from enemies quickly if you're on low health.
- While your speed dramatically increases if pocketing a Flanker, wearing the Overdrive shoes will prevent your healing beam from getting cut off if he turns corners.
- Use your speed to dodge your enemy's attacks, just like a Flanker would.
- To practice, try playing as a Flanker to study his movement patterns and see how you can do the same as a Doctor wearing the Overdrive shoes.
- Practice fighting with your melee weapons. They are your only way to defend yourself.
- The stock Saw has no damage penalty, making it the strongest of Doctor's melee weapons. It also drops small health packs on kill.
- The Supersaw is also a good pick as it gives you 20% of your SuperCharge for each hit, in turn for a slower swing speed.
- Do not rush into groups of enemies with your melee weapon. Go for individual duels instead. Flankers, Marksmen, and Agents are pretty easy kills.
- While you may start with 117% speed, you can gradually increase your speed further by healing teammates. When your SuperCharge is ready to be used, you'll have 133%, the exact same base speed as a Flanker!
- The Rejuvenator builds SuperCharge the fastest, so try using it!
- This gimmick is similar to Flanker's Baby Face's Blaster, where dealing damage makes him faster. The Overdrive shoes does the same, but increases speed through healing.
