[[ÜberCharge]] Masking involves hiding a Medic's Übercharge percentage by using a voice command when they reach 100%. This will play the chosen voice command instead of the much louder "UBERCHARGE READY" voice command.
+
An [[ÜberCharge]] Masking involves hiding your uber.
  
−
Masking an Übercharge in this way can allow for unexpected pushes and surprising the other team if their Medic is not tracking Übers effectively.
+
being able to or hide your Über gives your team advantage to make unexpected pushes and surprising the other team.

Faking having an Übercharge can confuse the other team and may even intimidate them enough to back out or to force their Über early. Faking having an Übercharge earlier than expected can give the illusion that the Medic has swapped their [[Medigun]] to the [[Kritzkrieg]].

Being able to fake Übercharge confuses the other team and even intimidate them to force back out or to risk.

Medics will usually keep track of the Übercharge progress of the enemy Medic and may realise something is off if you pretend to have an Über at a time that is impossible or unrealistic. Similarly, if you overuse this tactic or always mask your real Übercharges, the enemy team can catch on and stop falling for it.

Note*: Good teams will keep track of ubers, so it's pointless to fake uber.
