— The Engineer destroying projectiles

”

The Short Circuit is a promotional secondary weapon for the Engineer. It is a futuristic electrical device consisting of two probes and rubber sealing, that replaces the Engineer's right arm.

This weapon fires a burst of electrical energy that does minor damage to enemies and has the ability to destroy enemy projectiles within a 180 degree radius at the expense of 35 metal. The weapon's electrical arcs are capable of hitting both multiple enemies and multiple projectiles in a single shot and, contrary to popular belief, does not hit cloaked Spies. Although unable to deliver critical hits either randomly or through any crit boosts or to operate underwater, the Short Circuit does not require reloading and instead draws ammunition directly from the Engineer's metal supply.

Enemies hit by the Short Circuit will emit white electrical sparks for a brief moment. Additionally, enemies killed by the weapon will suffer a distinctive death by vaporization, similar to that caused by the weapons in Dr. Grordbort's Victory Pack.

This item was awarded in Genuine quality to players who pre-ordered Deus Ex: Human Revolution before August 26, 2011.

The kill icon for the Short Circuit was contributed by Template:Steam profile link.

The Short Circuit can be used to destroy the beach ball in Birthday mode as well as the soccer ball generated by the Ball-Kicking Boots.

Trivia

During development, the Short Circuit was going to be a minigun that opened up from Engineer's glove. Valve, however, told the creator they wanted a less-powerful electric based weapon, so it was changed to the current design.^[1]
A short circuit is a malfunction in a circuit that allows a current to travel on an unintended path.
