}}The '''Destruction PDA''' is an inherent PDA for the [[Engineer]], which is used to destroy his own [[buildings]]. It does not show up on his loadout screen. It appears as a dark gray handheld device with a small and shiny blank screen, an antenna coming out the top, and a big red button in the middle. The button appears red regardless of which team the user is on.

When active, the Destruction PDA shows a "Demolish" menu with the buildings the user owns or has not yet built. When selecting a building to destroy, that building will immediately explode, no matter how far into construction it is. Similar to the building being destroyed by an enemy, the explosion deals no damage or knockback, and spreads pieces of metal that provide a small amount of ammo. Each building has a subtly different destruction sound effect. when destroying a [[Teleporter]] that is about to teleport an ally, that teleport will be immediately cancelled. The user will immediately switch to their last weapon once the building is destroyed, the same as when clicking attack with the Destruction PDA out.

The Destruction PDA is useless for actually constructing buildings. That duty goes to the [[Construction PDA]], which has no built-in destructive capabilities.

== Trivia ==

* If the user selects a building they cannot destroy, the Engineer will appear to press a button on the Destruction PDA. This is only visible to other players. This can also be replicated with the <code>pda_click</code> console command.

* Unlike the Construction PDA, the screen on the Destruction PDA is shiny, and will have a fake reflection on it.
