| − | I might be thinking a bit too far into this, but considering the name and the item's level, could the item's details be a reference to the film "Short Circuit?" After all, this item is called "Short Circuit" and the item is level 5, as in Number 5 from the movie. Like I said, I'm probably thinking too far into this.

| − | ::: Eh, "Short Circuit" isn't an uncommon phrase, so I slightly doubt it. If Valve did do it on purpose, there'd probably be a reference in the item description. [[User:Yaridovich23|Yaridovich23]] 09:09, 19 August 2011 (PDT)

| − | ==Is it meant to destroy ''both'' team's projectiles?==
| + | Currently going over all of the existing weapons and their stat cards on the wiki to make sure they're accurate to their in-game variants, and it appears that in-game there is a "The" in the Short Circuit's name, which the wiki's version lacks. I also don't see a way in the editor to fix this. [[User:The Salt God|The Salt God]] ([[User talk:The Salt God|talk]]) 03:02, 24 October 2024 (UTC) |

| − | Is it meant to destroy ''both'' team's projectiles?
| |
| − | The item discription never mentioned enemy projectile only projectiles in general. | |
| − | This means that destroying teammate's projectile as well as enemy's projectile is not a bug.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Here is the weapon's discription:
| |
| − | Short Circuit
| |
| − | Level 5 Shotgun
| |
| − | On Fire: Generates an electrical field that destroys projectiles and does slight damage to players
| |
| − | No reload necessary
| |
| − | Per Shot: -35 ammo
| |
| − | Uses metal for ammo
| |
| − | No random critical hits
| |
| − | | |
| − | It's sort of implied. Weapons that have an "On Kill" attribute don't specify killing an enemy, yet that's how it works. [[User:Maggosh|mag]][[User talk:Maggosh|gosh]] 07:22, 19 August 2011 (PDT)
| |
| − | :I'm inclined to believe the same thing; I don't really think we can list it as a bug since it does not specifically list enemy projectiles as being destroyed. I'm going to change the entry accordingly. [[User:ButteredToast|ButteredToast]] 07:39, 19 August 2011 (PDT)
| |
| − | ::They have patched it today; it no longer affects friendly projectiles. [[User:ButteredToast|ButteredToast]] 18:06, 23 August 2011 (PDT)
| |
| − | | |
| − | == Its not just the shotgun ==
| |
| − | | |
| − | when using it and the gunslinger, the gunslinger dosent just not show up on the shotgun, but also the build/demolish tool and when holding a toolbox.[[User:Ihasnotomato|Ihasnotomato]]
| |
| − | : Noted, moving all gunslinger problems to the right page.--<span style="color:purple">'''''[[User:Focusknock|Focusknock]]'''''</span> 05:35, 20 August 2011 (PDT)

| − | == Delete Projectile ==
| |
| − | | |
| − | Hi and now I tested this weapon with many types of projectile I can. So It can delete these projectile.
| |
| − | * Rocket
| |
| − | * Arrow
| |
| − | * Sticky Bomb
| |
| − | * Grenade from Grenade Launcher
| |
| − | But I don't sure about
| |
| − | * Bison
| |
| − | * Jarate/Mad Milk
| |
| − | * Sandman Ball
| |
| − | * Flare
| |
| − | * Syringe
| |
| − | Then can someone tested? [[User:Hinaomi|Hinaomi]] 06:27, 20 August 2011 (PDT)
| |
| − | :Presumably it can destroy anything that can be reflected, which means it can destroy baseballs and flares but not syringes or Bison shots. [[User:Toomai|Toomai]] [[User talk:Toomai|Glittershine]] 11:00, 20 August 2011 (PDT)

| − | Tested with friend a little. It works fine against:
| |
| − | * Jarate/Mad Milk
| |
| − | * Sandman Ball
| |
| − | * Flare
| |
| − | Catching arrows is hardest trick to do.

| − | == What IS this weapon? ==
| |
| − | | |
| − | I know the page said that it's a handheld device, but Larolaro, the items creator, said that it's an augmented arm. Not only that, but the wide end of the weapon (the one closer to the screen) is the same color of the Engie's glove. Shouldn't this be called an augmented arm instead of a handheld device?

| − | :I know it's a bit late to be commenting on this, but as you wanted feedback, got none, and I have an opinion on the matter, I shall speak. Technically speaking, it's not a "hand-held" weapon, since it IS his hand, so I personally think it's more of an augmented arm than a hand-held anything. The concept art shows and the creator both agree/show that it's not a hand-held weapon. As such, I'd support it being changed.[[User:Sven|Sven]] 15:38, 9 September 2011 (PDT)
| |
| − | ::Making it an augmented arm (like the Gunslinger) would require slight changes to the Engineer model and new animations for the weapon, so they made it a handheld device. It's a shame really, it would have looked amazing if it was done properly. Maybe they'll fix it in the future, who knows?

| − | == Damage table? ==
| |
| − | | |
| − | The critical hit damage is listed on the damage chart/table... thing, despite it not being able to deal critical hits (unless there is some way I do not know of, it will not crit in humiliation from my own experiences). And can it mini-crit at all either? Do the critical and mini-critical damages need to be listed there? [[User:Alfabetica|Alfabetica]] 22:40, 21 August 2011 (PDT)
| |
| − | :Mini-crits can be caused by [[Jarate]], Scouts under the influence of [[Crit-a-Cola]], Heavys under the influence of the [[Buffalo Steak Sandvich]], being in range of a friendly [[Buff Banner]], and probably number of other ways. Crits can be caused by crit-boosting (round win, intel cap), an [[Ubercharge]] from a [[Kritzkrieg]],and probably other ways as well. If they can happen, then they deserve to be there. [[User:ShadowGlove|ShadowGlove]] 13:14, 31 August 2011 (PDT)
| |
| − | :: The Short Circuit doesn't do any boosted damage when it's krit-boosted. It works like the Mangler. [[User:Balladofwindfishes|Balladofwindfishes]] 13:26, 31 August 2011 (PDT)
