Small medpacks are weird.

Okay, so I have a question which bugged me out for a long time and nobody told me the answer to yet.
It’s a minor thing, but I just want to know:
When you’re a Soldier and pick up a small medpack, it sometimes gives 40 health and sometimes it gives 41, and it doesn’t seem to change while you’re staying on the same map. What causes the 1 HP difference? Is it some calculation error, or does it have to do something with your loadout? I dunno.

wiki says small health packs heal 20.5%, no idea why.
20.5% of your class health, so of a soldier that’d be 40hp 0.5% gives you +1 so 41hp.
It should be consistent as well, the only time it should be more is I think if you use the battalions backup.

Nah, it happens with shotgun/gunboats, and it’s always rounded down to 40 (when it occurs). I’d assume it’s some floating point calculation going wrong occasionally.
I usually get 40 but rarely 41. No clue why but I don’t get mad for getting 1 free hp
Because OCD?
Valve has addressed this issue before and have revealed that small medpacks and ammopacks are supposed to give 25%, but for some reason they have an intrinsic flaw in their coding that thinks 25% = 20.5%. They have been looking for the cause of this problem for years to no avail.
It used to be that 20.5% gave always 41 health to soldiers and 41 metal to engies, but a “recent” (not sure when) update made it a 50/50 probability.
lol
I remember it being for years that they just give 40hp back, but then for a month or two it gave 41hp always and now it changes sometimes between them.
It’s odd, I thought at some point that some of the configs on servers do change that do they give 1hp extra or not.
Years?
Started playing in 2008 and the first thing I got confused about was the 41 metal I got when playing engie.

25% of 200 is 50, and I’m pretty sure you don’t get 50 from a small pack.

Sorry, I read that it either gave 25% or 20.5% 50/50. My bad.

No wonder people accuse you of trying to kill TF2, maybe you just can’t help yourself
