 The Eureka Effect |
|
| “ | It fixes, it dents craniums, it's the wonder tool of the century!
— Wrenchmotron 600 publicity blurb
|
” |
The Eureka Effect is a melee weapon for the Engineer. It is a futuristic pipe wrench with a team-colored handle. An atomic symbol is etched onto the top of it.
Using this wrench prevents the player from being able to haul buildings. Instead, pressing alt-fire will cause the Engineer to perform a taunt for approximately 2 seconds with the weapon, after which he will be teleported directly to the team's active respawn room, giving him full ammo and health and removing all effects caused by other players in the process, similar to touching a resupply cabinet. The taunt cannot be activated if the player is in the air or in water.

Update history
December 15, 2011 Patch (Australian Christmas 2011)
- The Eureka Effect was added to the game.
- Fixed an exploit with The Eureka Effect where the effects could activate without taunting in high-lag situations
Bugs
- Because the Eureka Effect's alt-fire functions like an instant respawn, it will still replenish metal, ammo, and health in Arena mode and during Sudden Death, remove stored Revenge Crits if the Frontier Justice is equipped, and remove any crit boost status (such as crits during Humiliation) or debuff status (such as Jarate and being marked for death).
- The hauling HUD prompt is still present when this weapon is equipped.
Trivia
- The weapon's alt-fire ability bears resemblance to the Instant Teleport, a scrapped secondary weapon which would teleport the Engineer to his Teleporter Exit.
- The name is derived from the term Template:W, any sudden unexpected discovery, or the sudden realization of the solution to a problem.
- This weapon is called the Wrenchmotron 600 on the Dr. Grordbort's website. The Eureka Effect is listed as an "electrifying taunt" there.[1]
