The Wanga Prick is a community-created melee weapon for the Spy. It is an over-sized voodoo pin with a cracked Team Fortress 2 "death skull" serving as part of the handle.

This weapon functions identically to Your Eternal Reward, however it does not function as a substitute in the Saharan Spy item set.

Taunting with the Wanga Prick equipped results in the Fencing kill taunt. Kills made are silent and the victim's corpse disappears. However, the disguise effect is not activated even if the taunt hits the victim's back.

The Wanga Prick was contributed to the Steam Workshop.
