Static Fanatic: Removed Live TF2 comparisons section. Why is this even a thing for non-stock weapons? This mod's supposed to be distancing itself from Live!

	The '''Cyclops''' is a [[weapon#demomanprimary\|primary weapon]] for the [[Demoman]] which was added in the [[1.7.3]] update, later removed in the [[Death & Taxes\|Death & Taxes Update]], then finally re-added in the [[Double Down\|Double Down Update]]. It is a modified grenade launcher that fires EMP grenades that detonate your own explosives in its explosion radius, such as [[Stickybomb Launcher\|sticky bombs]], [[Mine Layer\|mines]] and the [[Dynamite Pack]], and causes enemy projectiles to fizzle out, rendering them ineffective. You can make use of this mechanic by, for example, throwing a dynamite pack, and detonating an EMP grenade on it with an enemy nearby to not only have them take damage from the grenade, but also the instant detonation of the dynamite. Killing an enemy in this way will result in a "COMBO!" indicator in the killfeed. The Cyclops holds only one grenade in the clip at a time, which explode only when you release the fire button after firing, or on direct contact with an enemy without bouncing. Due to this, unlike the [[Grenade Launcher]], you can only have one grenade active at once. This allows for more precise detonations and grenade jumps, but will require you to be more engaged with each grenade you fire, and to have a good sense of timing.
