The Pomson 6000 is a primary weapon for the Engineer. It is a retro-futuristic ray gun with many team-colored portions.
The weapon fires an unreflectable projectile beam that deals damage and interferes with the signature abilities of Medics and Spies: hitting a Medic will subtract 10% from his ÜberCharge meter if he is not actively using it, while hitting a Spy will subtract 20% from his cloak meter even if he is cloaked or disguised. These values are maximums; the amount drained begins to fall off starting at a medium range of 512 Hammer units, with no drain at all at 1536 Hammer units (three times the distance). Drainage is applied after damage is dealt, so killing a Medic with full ÜberCharge counts as such, and Spies can successfully use the Dead Ringer on Pomson shots. Drainage victims hear a distinctive sound to alert them of the loss.
The Pomson 6000 does not require ammo, though it remains necessary to reload it after four shots. Its shots can also light teammates' Huntsman arrows and deal only 20% damage to enemy buildings.
Enemies killed by the Pomson 6000 suffer a distinctive death by vaporization: they turn black, hover in mid-air while surrounded by team-colored particles, and then disappear into ashes. Like backstabs and headshots, there is a 25% chance that opponents will perform a specific disintegration animation if killed in this way.
The Pomson 6000 was later contributed to the Steam Workshop, at Valve's request.
