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

”

The Short Circuit is a promotional secondary weapon for the Engineer. It is awarded in Genuine quality to players that pre-ordered Deus Ex: Human Revolution before August 22, 2011. Enemies hit by the Short Circuit will emit white electrical sparks for a brief moment. Enemies killed by the Short Circuit suffer a distinctive death by vaporization: they turn black, hover in mid-air while performing a specific disintegration animation surrounded by team-colored particles, and then disappear into ashes.

Firing the Short Circuit results in a burst of electrical energy that does minor damage and destroys enemy projectiles at the expense of 35 metal. The weapon needs no reloading and cannot crit.

Bugs

• Using with Taunt: The Schadenfreude you cant see weapon and hands.
• Upon drawing the weapon in high-pinged servers, the engineer's hands clip through its model. It still uses the pistol draw animation.
• Pressing the secondary attack button (default mouse2) will play half-life's "use" sound. Nothing else happens.
