Initially designed to blow up police breathalyzers (and police), the breechloading Cyclops shoots "EMP grenades": little metal eyeballs, each packed with a tiny mail-order electrostatic generator and about a kilogram of mail-order wet fertilizer. When an EMP grenade explodes, any of your Stickybombs, Mines, or Dynamite Packs in its blast radius will short circuit and detonate early — and enemy Demomen's explosives will fizzle out uselessly. (There will also be a normal explosion.) Without a timed fuse, Cyclops grenades will only explode once you release the fire button. Perfect for pragmatic control freaks, eager to put hard-working grenades out of work and replace them with obedient robot grenades that never complain or call in sick.

In matches of VIP Race (VIPR), both teams get their own Civilian. (Hold for long applause.)
