Wanga Prick 1 - 100 Upon a successful backstab you rapidly disguise as your victim Silent Killer: No attack noise from backstabs Wearer cannot disguise

Does it hurt when I do that? It does, doesn't it?! Click to listen — The Spy

”

The Wanga Prick is a community-made 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 will perform the Fencing kill taunt. Kills made will be silent and the victim's corpse will disappear. However, the disguise effect will not be activated even if the taunt hits the victim's back.

The Wanga Prick was contributed to the Steam Workshop under the name "Voodoo Pin".

Update history

October 27, 2011 Patch (Very Scary Halloween Special)

• The Wanga Prick was added to the game.

March 27, 2013 Patch

• Fixed the Wanga Prick sometimes floating in the world after death.

Bugs

• Should the player die after switching Wanga Prick to the Knife, respawning may not be possible until they swap classes.
• Being auto-balanced or team-switched while holding Wanga Prick will cause the player to respawn with both the Disguise Kit and Wanga Prick equipped. Additionally, switching to the default Knife after switching teams once dead will result in the Disguise Kit being unavailable. These problems can be fixed upon death or accessing a Resupply locker.
• Backstabbing an Engineer while he is hauling a Building will result in the killfeed displaying the Building's destruction to the enemy team.
• Backstabbing the person you are disguised as while they are holding their melee will occasionally cause your disguise's world model to become Wanga Prick.
• If a Spy backstabs an enemy with the Wanga Prick while undisguised and in line of sight of a Sentry Gun, the sentry will continue to fire at the Spy until the line of sight is lost.
• Should Wanga Prick be used to backstab an enemy who is then auto-balanced, the Spy will disguise as a friendly version of that class.
• Backstabbing a disguised Spy using the Wanga Prick will not grant the Spy achievement Counter Espionage.
• It is possible to carry the intelligence while disguised by acquiring it and backstabbing an enemy at the exact same time. [1]
• This weapon does not Cloak on friendly cloaked Spies or in client view.
• The Wanga Prick does not glow when crit-boosted.

Trivia

• A wanga (sometimes spelled 'oanga' or 'wanger') is a magical charm packet found in the folk magic practices of Haiti.
