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 Sandwich]], 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.

Revision as of 20:15, 31 August 2011

Subliminal Reference?

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.

Possible. I wouldn't put it past Valve to do that. ShadowGlove 06:47, 19 August 2011 (PDT)
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. Yaridovich23 09:09, 19 August 2011 (PDT)
It wasn't a reference to "Short Circuit" the movie, I created the name on a whim and pitched it to Valve while I was creating the asset, however, it did provoke a joke referring to Johhny 5 from Eidos-Montreal's community manager. Larolaro 13:42, 25 August 2011 (PDT)

New Image

I edit the strategy pages a lot, and right now, the imge for this is pixelated and has a ugly white background. If somebody could fix this, that's be great. ShadowGlove 06:47, 19 August 2011 (PDT)

Is it meant to destroy both team's projectiles?

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. maggosh 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. ButteredToast 07:39, 19 August 2011 (PDT)
They have patched it today; it no longer affects friendly projectiles. 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.Ihasnotomato

Noted, moving all gunslinger problems to the right page.--Focusknock 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? 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. 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. --Pavel.nps 05:15, 30 August 2011 (PDT)

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?

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? 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.
