The '''Neon Annihilator''' is a [[Steam Workshop|community-created]] [[Promotional items|promotional]] [[weapons#pyromelee|melee weapon]] for the [[Pyro]]. It is a neon sign with the Chinese word for "bar" (酒吧, Cantonese: Zau2Baa6, Mandarin: jiǔbā), and appears to have been torn from its permanent fixture on a wall, judging by the orientation of the characters and the fact that the base also has 4 thick, crooked bolts. The neon tubes on the sides of the weapon are team-colored (hydrogen for RED and mercury for BLU) and [[Self-illumination|glow]] in the dark, as do the neon tubes inside the outer tubes, which slowly pulse between light and dark. A yellow-coloured plastic wire is seen strung from the neon lights to the back of the weapon, where it is connected via a small power compartment. An electrical sound is heard when hitting another person or a wall.
 
 
 
The weapon deals 20% less damage to players and cannot deal random [[critical hits]]. However, any attack on an enemy [[Covering|covered]] in [[Jarate]], [[Mad Milk]], [[Environmental death#Drowning|swimming]], or simply standing in [[water]] of any depth will electrocute them, dealing [[Critical hits|critical damage]]. As enemies are considered wet for five seconds after leaving a water source, the Neon Annihilator will also deal critical hits during that duration. Dealing any kind of critical hit will break it visually, this does not impact gameplay. Furthermore, the Neon Annihilator can remove [[Sapper]]s, an ability it shares with the [[Homewrecker]] and [[Maul]], although it removes them in 2 hits instead of 1.
 
 
 
Enemies killed by the Neon Annihilator 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 [[headshot]]s, there is a 25% chance that opponents will perform a specific disintegration animation if killed in this way.
 
 
 
[[Taunt]]ing with the Neon Annihilator will play [[Media:Sign bass solo.wav|a bass guitar sound]] alongside the Pyro's usual mumbling.
 
 
 
The Neon Annihilator was awarded in [[Genuine]] quality to players who pre-ordered ''[[Sleeping Dogs]]'' on Steam before August 14, 2012, or August 17, 2012 in Europe.
 
 
 
The Neon Annihilator was later [http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=99142052 contributed] to the Steam Workshop, at [[Valve]]'s request.

== Trivia ==
 
* The battery's texture has a nod to the Facepunch forums on it ("def2fp"). The BLU team skin was originally going to read "props2fp" but was changed by Valve.<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20161003101416/http://facepunch.com/showthread.php?t=1200947&p=37061415&highlight=#post37061415 Facepunch forums]</ref>
 
* On the [http://www.teamfortress.com/triad/ Update Page], the damage penalty is incorrectly labeled as a firing speed penalty.
 
* The weapon was originally pitched as a Chinese lantern. The idea was ultimately dropped at Valve's suggestion that it too closely resembled the [[Baleful Beacon]], an unused weapon.
