The Heavy

The Deflector is a primary weapon used by the Deflector Heavy in Mann vs. Machine mode. Its model and functionality are identical to those of the Minigun. When used by Deflector Heavies, the weapon disables projectiles, causing them to drop from the air. When carried by the Giant Deflector Heavy, it also uses different spin up and firing sound effects, as well as different tracer effects from the Minigun, with a green tracer effect rather than the usual yellow.

There existed a single Deflector owned by one player. It was a user who found an exploit in the item schema which could be used to obtain any item in the game. He sent Valve a description of the exploit and as proof, gave himself a Deflector with the Unique quality. Valve has since removed the item, fixed the exploit and gave him an Unusual of his choice.
