“

Start prayin', boy! Click to listen — The Engineer destroying projectiles

”

The Short Circuit is a promotional secondary weapon for the Engineer. It is a futuristic handheld electrical device consisting of two probes and rubber sealing.

This weapon fires a burst of electrical energy that does minor damage to enemies and has the ability to destroy enemy projectiles at the expense of 35 metal. Although unable to deliver random critical hits or 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 the Cow Mangler 5000 death sequence).

It is awarded in Genuine quality to players that pre-ordered Deus Ex: Human Revolution before August 22, 2011.
