The Engineer on compound eyes

The Buzz Killer is a cosmetic item for the Engineer. It is a massive team-colored fly mask with circular bug-like eyes and a floppy mouth and feelers that covers the Engineer's head entirely.

This item can only be worn around Halloween or during a Full Moon; at other times of the year, it does not appear in gameplay, unless the server has Halloween mode enabled. However, it can be equipped at any time and can still be viewed on the loadout screen, even when it is not visible during matches.
