Best Medic Gun In Battlefield 1

Okay, picture this: You're knee-deep in the mud of Passchendaele, explosions are rocking the ground, and the air is thick with smoke and the distinct aroma of fear (and trench foot, probably). Your squadmate, bless his cotton socks, just took a face full of barbed wire and is screaming for a medic. You, being the awesome human you are, charge into the fray, syringe at the ready. But then you think, "Wait, what gun do I even have on me? Is this pea-shooter going to help me survive long enough to actually revive him?" Yeah, that’s happened to me… more times than I'd like to admit.

So, that got me thinking (as near-death experiences often do). What is the best medic gun in Battlefield 1? It's a question that's probably plagued every aspiring battlefield doctor at some point. There’s no single right answer, of course, but let’s dive into some contenders and figure out what works best for different playstyles. After all, saving lives is great, but surviving long enough to do it is even better!

The Obvious Choice: Mondragón Optical

Let's get this one out of the way first. The Mondragón Optical is, generally speaking, considered the king of medic guns in BF1. Why? Well, it's accurate, has a decent rate of fire, and packs a punch. The Optical variant gives you that little bit of extra zoom for those medium-range engagements, making it versatile enough for most situations. It’s got a forgiving recoil pattern too, which is a huge plus when you're trying to land shots while simultaneously dodging grenades and screams.

It’s a solid all-rounder, no doubt. You can’t go wrong with it! (Seriously, if you're just starting out, grab this one and thank me later.)

For the Aggressive Medic: Selbstlader 1906 Factory

Okay, so you're not the type to hang back and play it safe? You like to be on the front lines, reviving squadmates and capping objectives with reckless abandon? Then the Selbstlader 1906 Factory might be your jam. This thing fires like a semi-automatic rifle on speed. The damage is significant, but with only 5 bullets per magazine it requires good aim.

It's a high-risk, high-reward weapon. Missing your shots will leave you vulnerable during the painfully slow reload. It's unforgiving, but in the right hands, it's a force to be reckoned with. Think of it as the medic's shotgun – brutal up close and personal.

The Accuracy Fiend: RSC 1917 Factory

Do you appreciate accuracy above all else? Do you long for the days of single-shot rifles that reward precise aim? The RSC 1917 Factory is your baby. This rifle hits like a truck. With only two shots to kill at medium range, it absolutely melts opponents. It excels at mid-range engagements where you can consistently land your shots. This weapon is for someone who likes to find a nice spot and pick off enemies while keeping an eye out for downed teammates.

This gun won't win you any close-quarters battles if you're caught by surprise, but at medium range, it's a force to be reckoned with. Just remember to take your time and aim for the chest!

A Dark Horse: Autoloading 8 .35 Factory

Don’t overlook the Autoloading 8 .35 Factory. This is a lesser-known contender, but it holds its own. High rate of fire and manageable recoil, which makes it a fantastic choice for those who prefer a more forgiving weapon. It's no Mondragón, but it’s certainly worth a try if you’re looking for something a little different. It just feels good to use. Sometimes that is half of the fun!

The damage per bullet is slightly lower than some of the other options, but the sheer volume of fire you can put downrange compensates for it. Think of it as a medic's SMG, but with less hip fire capability. Great for suppressing enemies while your squadmates push forward.

So, Which One Is Actually The Best?

Honestly, it depends on your playstyle. Are you an aggressive medic who likes to be in the thick of things? Go for the Selbstlader. Do you prefer to hang back and provide support? The Mondragón or RSC 1917 might be better choices. Or are you someone who likes a quick rate of fire to compensate for the weaker damage output? Then the Autoloading 8 .35 is for you.

The real best medic gun is the one that you feel most comfortable with. Experiment with different weapons, find what suits your playstyle, and – most importantly – have fun out there! After all, even the worst medic gun is better than no gun at all when you’re facing down a charging cavalryman armed with a saber. (Trust me, I’ve been there.)

Now get out there and save some lives, you magnificent battlefield angel!
